The terrifying world of Krypton ’s death has been revealed , andSuperman’sfather Jor - El may be responsible for the satellite ’s demise . Theprevailing tale circumvent Jor - Elwas one of a audacious and magnificent scientist whose admonition went ignored by Kryptonian society until the devastation was inevitable . ButWorld of Krypton # 4proves this portraiture of Jor - El leave out the man ’s rage and elitism , and such characteristics led directly to the near - extinction of Superman ’s people .
In nearlyevery adaptation of Krypton ’s account , the planet ’s end is preventable if the ruling body of Krypton only listened to Jor - El ’s warnings . Sometimes the planet ’s core destabilizes due to mining , sometimes , as is the causa withSuperman : The Animated Series , Brainiac is responsible . In all instances , Jor - El is the vox of reason ; an imperturbable bastion of posture , patience and resilience . But the new series reveals his temper can get the better of him , and he often comprehend himself as better than those around him , even to his own detriment .

Jor - El advocates for the construction of a carapace around the planet ’s core to prevent further wrong ; as he says,“The damage to the core can not be reversed . “This will be an energy - intensive projection and will require sacrifice on the part of Krypton ’s population . General Dru - Zod paint a picture mobilizing the surety forcesto enforce such sacrifice , but Jor - El crisply dissent . The argument gets heated and Zod shoves Jor - El through a glass window in his own plate . Jor - El reacts violently . “I’m an El ! My house BUILT this civilisation ! You ’ve always envied my house . Zods have never been asked to lead , so you learned to impose yourselves on us ! "
The House of Zod is a house of soldiers and military loss leader , but Jor - El boasts that the dynasty of his house is one of leaders themselves . It ’s quite uncommon in Superman mythos to see a hyper - aggressive Jor - El , allow alone one who attack Zod while boasting about his stock . In any other adaptation , Zod would be the sole aggressor ; while it may be disconcert for fans to see Jor - El ’s choler get the better of him , it certainly humanizes ( insult to the Kryptonian mintage not designate ) one of the more saint - similar characters of the Superman mythos .
At the remainder of the argument , Zod surprise off , filled with more resoluteness than ever to move forwards with his plan . A military performance is certainly vigor - intensive and could wipe out the reserves want for Jor - El ’s scheme . Superman’sfather may be the hoagie of multiple adaptations , but in this case , Jor - El ’s action might havedoomed Krypton long before the inevitable explosive cataclysm .
