Jor-El, 2nd

Jor-El, 2nd

Superman's Kryptonian name, according to (S No. 75, Mar/Apr 1952: "The Prankster's Star Pupil!"). Superman scholars tend to accept the evidence of numerous other texts, however, which state that Superman's true Kryptonian name is actually Kal-El (S No. 113, May 1957: chs 1-3—"The Superman of the Past"; "The Secret of the Towers"; "The Superman of the Present"; and others).
