Kal-El is a future member of the House of El and a hero on Earth known as Superman.
Biography
Original Timeline
In the future, Kal-El emigrated from Krypton to Earth and became a hero known as Superman.[1] One of his greatest enemies would be General Zod, who neither knew to be Kal-El's uncle. He apparently sent Adam Strange to the planet Krypton in the past to prevent an impending danger that threatened his existence as a superhero.[2] However later information suggests Adam went back in time of his own freewill, to prove himself as a hero. Regardless Adam arrived on Krypton with Superman's cape, which was slowly disappearing due to the changes in the timeline.
New Timeline
After Kal-El's grandfather Seg-El sent Brainiac to the Phantom Zone, at the cost of being dragged in by Brainiac, his cape was quickly restored. However the House of El symbol soon changed to be a House of Zod when Zod made plans to take control of krypton and later the whole galaxy, the change being proof that he succeeds. Whether this means Kal-El is still alive in the new timeline is unknown, due to how massive the change was in the timeline.
Trivia
- Kal's greatest enemy, General Zod is also his uncle, as Zod is the son of his grandfather, Seg.
- Because of Zod's takeover, it's unknown as to whether Kal was actually born in the new timeline.
