The famous scientist father of the more famous Kryptonian scientist Jor-El II, and therefore the grandfather of his son Kal-El--the legendary hero better known as Superman (WK No. 1, Jul 1979: "The Jor-El Story"; and others). Jor-El I is also the father of Nim-El and Zor-El and the grandfather of Supergirl (Kara Zor-El).

When Jor-El II and his twin brother Nim-El were still infants, Jor-El I succeeded in journeying to Earth and back in an experimental spacecraft of his own design (S No. 103/1, Feb 1956: "The Superman of Yesterday"), and although knowledge of the craft's construction had apparently been lost to Kryptonians by the time Jor-El II reached maturity (Act No. 158, Jul 1951: "The Kid from Krypton!"; and others), there can be little doubt that his father's achievement served to inspire his own explorations into the then-infant sciences of rocketry and space travel.
