DC's new series Superman: Father of Tomorrow imagines a world where Jor-El, not Clark Kent, survived the destruction of Krypton and escaped to Earth as an adult. Jor-El's brand of 'saving the world' is different from Clark's non-interventionist philosophy, and his actions could have significant knock-on effects. The series explores an alternate timeline in which Earth gets a far more interventionist Superman - one who is haunted by the death of his 'brother,' and believes that it's vital to elevate Earth by making a gift of his personal genius.
In a new DC series, Superman : Father of Tomorrow, Jor-El takes up his son Clark Kent 's codename and mission on Earth, but with a different approach to heroism.
The series imagines a world where Jor-El, not Clark, survived the destruction of Krypton and escaped to Earth as an adult, bringing with him a lifetime of experience as a scientific genius. Jor-El's brand of 'saving the world' is different from Clark's non-interventionist philosophy, and his actions could have significant knock-on effects.
Jor-El's origin story is revealed in this week's Superman: Father of Tomorrow #1, where he falls to Earth and is taken in by the Kents, who see him as a brother. Jor-El decides to become a superhero and make saving his adopted planet his purpose, but he resists the urge to share his knowledge with Earth, believing he doesn't have the right to influence the scientific progress of another world.
However, when Jonathan Kent suffers a fatal heart attack, Jor-El is plagued by the knowledge that his friend could have been saved with Kryptonian medical science. In response, Jor-El becomes this reality's Superman, debuting against the supervillain Metallo. Jor-El's Superman is shown wearing white and black robes with a clinical, sharp-edged 'S' logo, evoking a doctor/scientist more than Clark Kent's strongman-inspired leotard.
Jor-El's mission is to elevate humanity to Krypton's level by introducing new tech and scientific discoveries, which could have significant consequences for the world. In upcoming issues, Jor-El's technological revolution will touch every aspect of Earth, with changes to energy production, medicine and agriculture.
However, this new Superman will also have to face his timeline's version of his son's greatest enemies, with foes like Lex Luthor and General Lane preparing to subvert his revolution and weaponize Kryptonian tech. In trying to save a planet, is Jor-El just leading Earth into the same self-destructive fate as Krypton
