Jor-El I, Lara I, Lor-Van

In "My Father... Superman," Superman uses the Probability Simulator to explore a haunting alternate reality: what if Krypton had fallen before his birth? In this poignant tale, Jor-El I and Lara I desperately warn the Elder Council of Krypton’s impending doom, only to be ignored. With time running out, they send their infant son, the last hope of their people, into space—while Lor-Van, their fellow scientist, remains behind. The story follows the emotional weight of that decision, as the child’s rocket crash-lands on Earth and is found by a kind-hearted couple, setting the stage for a life far removed from the world he was meant to save.
