Jor-El was a leading scientist from planet Krypton.
History
He warned General Zod against drilling into the planet's core to fuel his war machine and presented data but it was discounted as inconclusive. Jor-El chose to ally with the ruling council instead of Zod. With the planet nearing its end, Jor-El made preparations to continue the Kryptonian species. He incorporated an Incubator Pod into a space ship. He finished setting his wife Lara's egg in the pod. All he had left to do was submit his genetic code through a fingerprint. General Zod stormed Jor-El's lab and shot his hand off. Zod mused they could have ruled Krypton together. Jor-El stammered Zod destroyed the planet despite everyone telling him not to drill into the planet. Zod told him to shut up and pointed his gun to Jor-El's head. Lara begged Zod to stop. Zod decided his seed had more precedent than Jor-El's and submitted his genetic code instead. They watched as the ship took off and they all ultimately perished in Krypton's destruction.
