[edit] Physical Appearance

Jor-El's clone looks exactly the same as the original Jor-El.

[edit] Personality

"It seems to me like you're a chip off the old block. After seeing how he saved our spunky side-kick, I'd say you're both heroes." - Oliver Queen to Clark Kent about Jor-El, Kandor.

After Jor-El's clone was released from the orb, he went to the Kent Farm. He only has memories of his life before he put his blood in the orb along with Mayor Zod. He displayed sadness by the destruction of Krypton, the death of his wife Lara, and his son growing up without his people. He trusted Chloe Sullivan and knocked her unconscious for her own safety when he sensed danger in the barn. He was confronted by the Zod's clone and tried to explain that the real Zod was responsible for Krypton's destruction. He told Zod of what he would become and though Zod refused to believe him, he realized that Jor-El had to get this information somewhere- someone from Krypton. The Kandorians released Jor-El but when he arrived at the Kent Farm, he was mortally beaten. He died in Clark's arms after telling him he was proud of him; he also asked Clark to save Zod.

[edit] Powers and Abilities

The clone of Jor-El had no Kryptonian powers or abilities under a yellow sun.

[edit] Vulnerabilities

While powerless under the yellow sun (due to blue K), Jor-El is as mortal as humans, making his vulnerabilities just the same.

[edit] Early Life

Jor-El's clone was created 20 years before the destruction of Krypton, and had all of Jor-El's memories before then.

[edit] Season Nine

Jor-El managed to make his way to the Kent Farm. Remembering the fond memories he had in his youth, he returned to see the loving place he was welcomed in. Inside the Kents' house, Jor-El met Chloe Sullivan, whom he befriended and learned much about his life and fate of Krypton and the son he had not known about. Chloe introduced Jor-El to all of Clark's belongings, allowing him to get a glimpse of his son.

When he sensed danger, Jor-El used a Kryptonian pressure hold to make Chloe unconscious. He was then captured by Tess, and she requested that he convince Zod and the Kandorians that he is the Blur, in order to protect Kal-El. However, Basqat and Faora had Jor-El taken from the cellar in the Luthor Mansion, orchestrated by Zod. Zod beat Jor-El for taking away their powers and refusing to resurrect his son. Though Jor-El knew of Zod's fate, he still hoped for the best and apologized that if he did as Zod asked, maybe he wouldn't be the villain he would become. Zod was able to discover that Jor-El had a son and had him released.

Clark finally found Jor-El at the Kent Farm, only to see that Jor-El had a fatal wound. Before dying in his son's arms, Jor-El told Clark that he was so proud of him and asked him to save Zod. Clark buried Jor-El's body.

While Chloe was going over footage of Jor-El in the Kents' house, she discovered that Jor-El had hidden a Kryptonian object in the house.

[edit] Notes

• The clone of Jor-El was created from DNA taken 20 years before the destruction of Krypton, roughly 1966 on Earth (Clark arrived on Earth in 1989 after a three year journey), yet his appearance is significantly older than he appeared while on Earth in 1961 (Relic).
