History
Like many in his family, Jor-El was a respected scientist and a patriarch of the noble House of El. to the amazement of his colleagues, he succesfully created an experimental rocket-ship capable of traveling through hyperspace. Jor-El personally embarked upon a one-man journey to the Sol System wherein he discovered a small habitable world known as Earth. Returning to Krypton he kept extensive notes concerning Earth and passed them down to his first son, Jor-El II. Knowledge of this planet inspired the son to one day send his own child Kal-El to Earth when catastrophe struck the planet Krypton, ending all life on the tortured world.
Notes:
- This version of Jor-El I (Earth-One), including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the Multiverse in the 1985-86 Crisis on Infinite Earths limited series and is now considered apocryphal.
- The WB television series Smallville featured an episode wherein a character named Jor-El traveled to Earth many years ago. However, the TV version of Jor-El was in fact Kal-El's father, not his grand-father.
