They had only enough time to together to create one Rocket large enough for their son Kal-El, who they sent to earth where he was discovered by Jonathan and Martha Kent in Smallville, Kansas; this boy would grow up to become the great American super-hero known as Superman. In some Elseworlds comics, Lara survived and became a superhero known as Superwoman as a member of the Superman Family.
Lara Lor-Van was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, first appearing in the Superman comic strip in 1939.
