Trivia

 * This limited series repudiates the Kryptonian genetic defect which kept all Kryptonians bound to their native soil. Jor-El had previously developed a cure for the genetic defect, and administered it to Kal-El, allowing him to function in an atmosphere outside of Krypton. This retcon also allows other Kryptonians, such as Supergirl to operate independently of their home world.
