House of El



The House of El was one of the noble ruling families of the planet, Krypton. Their family line extended back several thousands of years to the great explorer, Val-El. The direct descendents of Jor-El the First sired children whom would become the sole survivors to escape Krypton's ultimate destruction - Kal-El and Kara Zor-El. The bloodline continued through the centuries with the births of Kal-El's Kryptonian/Human hybrid children with wife, Lois Lane.

Trivia

 * In the 1978 feature film Superman, the familiar "S" shield typically seen on the front of Superman's costume represented the official family seal of the House of El. Marlon Brando's character, Jor-El, had the symbol adorning the front of his tunic.
