The darkest secret of Superman’s father.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A secret from Superman's past changes everything the Man of Steel knows about his birth planet and father. An admission from Jor-El makes Superman question everything about his place in the world.
Superman fans know that Clark Kent is the Last Son of Krypton for a reason. Long before he was ever keeping the Earth safe from the likes of Lex Luthor or Brainiac, Superman lived on his native planet Krypton. Unfortunately, the first few months of Kal-El's infancy were fraught with danger as the baby's father Jor-El discovered that the planet was close to dying. With no other option, Jor-El sent baby Kal-El to Earth in a rocket for a chance at life.
Superman's Father Chose Him Over Krypton's People In Adventures of Superman #18 by J.T. Krul and Marcus To, Superman is in the Fortress of Solitude, talking with General Zod, who is imprisoned in the Phantom Zone. Zod says that Jor-El was responsible for trapping him in the liminal prison and implores Superman to ask the computer simulation of Jor-El to find out the truth. Superman activates the simulation and discovers that Zod isn't lying.
Granted, there was nothing that Jor-El could do to save his planet. For all their scientific advances, the society was quite backward in many regards, often leaving many of their most important decisions to a combative and dismissive council. However, this event puts Jor-El's final actions in a new light. Rather than risk everything to try and save as many people as possible, Superman's father focused on saving the life of his son.
The Potential Future of Krypton was Sacrificed for Superman Superman had nothing to do with the events of Krypton and shouldn't feel responsible for Jor-El's actions or inaction. But hearing that his father passed up an opportunity to try and save his race is a hard pill to swallow. Clark has occasionally felt a sense of longing due to his disconnection with his heritage.
