Albert Einstein

Born March 14, 1879

From Superman #416

Shortly before the arrival of the infant Superman on Earth from the doomed planet Krypton, Albert Einstein receives a recorded communication from Jor-El alerting him to the baby's imminent arrival. Jor-El requests of the fellow man of science that he help to ensure that Kal-El receive a proper upbringing. Einstein makes the trip to Smallville where, with the help of Police Chief Parker, he arranges matters such that Jonathan and Martha Kent will be certain to discover the rocket from Krypton when it arrives. (LSOK, 1978)

Einstein is a great hero to Lex Luthor. In 1978, Luthor manages to steal the Einstein Papers, but is unable to read them. Unbeknowst to him, they are written in Kryptonian and are a personal message intended for Superman. (LSOK, 1978)

In 1986, over the course of three consecutive years, Luthor escapes from prison on each occasion of Einstein's birthday in order to relive a highlight of the genius' life. (S No. 416/1, Feb 1986: "The Einstein Connection!")
