[edit] Problems with the text of the article

I feel that the part about it being clear that Jor-El is not really a bad guy in Smallville after season 4 isn't true, as who is making this distinction between what is clear in "Smallville" and what is not? Also, that part about what he meant by "your destiny" doesn't really make sense in the article.

The image you show of Jor-El is credited to Superman co-creator Joe Shuster. It is not drawn by him bbut by long-running Superman ghost, Wayne Boring. Check with DC if you doubt this, of course. Wayne worked on Superman from approx 1941 to mid-1960s.

  Thank you.

[edit] Jor-El in the comic books first in More Fun#101

He first appeared in comic books in More Fun#101 (with that spelling of the name, not Jor-L.)

In More Fun Comics#101, Jor-El and Lara are first clearly seen and referred to by name in the magazines.

Jor-El first appeared in the Superman newspaper comic strip in 1939, though under the name "Jor-L"; the spelling "Jor-El" first appeared in comics in "More Fun" #101. Also, you can sign your name by adding 4 "~" symbols to the end of your text. Anthony Dean 01:51, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] George Lazeby played an imposter

Lazenby actually plays an imposter, the character was not really diagetically Jor-El.

[edit] Merger?

There has been a merge tag on Jor-El (kryptonian) for a long time. It appears to me that the two pages are to the same subject, but I don't know enough to know where the material there should fit in this page. Could someone do the merger please, or if it isn't appropriate, remove the tags. Kcordina ^Talk 15:24, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Most of the information on the Jor-El (kryptonian) page is already included in this article, and is largely copied-and-pasted from this page ([1]). Will merge the two pages together (under Jor-El) and use some of the info given on the original website's page. Anthony Dean 01:51, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sentence fragment

The following sentence fragment has been removed from the introduction: In most versions of the Superman story (with the notable exceptions of Superman: The Movie and the indirect sequel, Superman Returns. There's nothing to indicate what point was being made by this, so I've removed it. 23skidoo 14:32, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
