12. Jor-El

Um"¦This is new. I was prepared to talk about Batman stuff this week, not Superman stuff. I’ll have to change my hat for this.

Okay. Jor-El was a Kryptonian scientist who was deeply worried about his home planet, so he stuck his baby in a rocket and shot it into space. That baby would crash land on Earth and grow up to be Superman. There are tons and tons of versions of Jor-El.

Original Recipe Jor-El was very proto-Superman, with a superhero-ish outfit and the Clark Kent good looks. Later, they'd reinvent Jor-El as an emotionless scientist on a very different version of Krypton. Then someone wanted to bring back the original, and they sorta did. And some people who liked that "˜70s movie started to turn him into Marlon Brando. Or a soldier/scientist.

They recently brought him back to life as a villain, because everything even partially related to Doomsday Clock is bad and disappointing. Ugh.
