House of El

The House of El was one of the noble ruling families of the planet, Krypton, and primarily associated with the Kryptonian Thinker Guild. Most members of the House of El were Krypton's greatest scientists, who served to advance the Kryptonian civilization for thousands of years. Shortly before the destruction of Krypton, Jor-El and his wife, Lara Lor-Van, went against their genetically determined laws and gave birth to Kal-El, the first naturally born Kryptonian in centuries. Foreseeing the inevitable implosion of their planet, the two sent their son away to Earth in order to ensure the survival of their species, and to give Kal-El a chance at life to forge his own destiny without the restrictions of the genetically engineered Kryptonians. Kara Zor-El, Jor-El's niece and Kal-El's older cousin, was also sent with Kal so as to protect him as he grew older, but her spacecraft was accidentally sent into the Phantom Zone, where she slept in stasis with no apparent way of escape.
