Halk Kar

Halk Kar. An alien from the far-distant planet Thoron, once befriended by Jor-El after crash-landing on Krypton shortly before that planet exploded, who arrives on Earth in a rocket ship in January-February 1953--afflicted with amnesia and endowed with super-powers similar to, but not nearly as great as, Superman's--under circumstances that lead both Halk Kar and Superman to believe, albeit erroneously, that Halk Kar is the eldest son of Jor-El and therefore Superman's big brother. Finally, however, as the result of an electric shock he receives during Superman's battle with the "Wrecker" Ross mob--a gang of extortionists whom Superman ultimately apprehends--Halk gar recovers his memory , recalls his visit to Krypton and brief friendship with Jor-El, and, soon afterward, bids Superman a fond farewell and blasts off for Thoron, his home planet (S No.8011: "Superman's Big Brother!").
