Tal-Rho, also known as Morgan Edge on Earth, is the Kryptonian owner of Edge EnerCorp.

Early Life
"I came here with one purpose: To further our Kryptonian heritage."

- Tal-Rho to Superman

Tal-Rho was born to Zeta-Rho and Lara Lor-Van. He grew up on Krypton and was sent to Earth after his parents realized the planet's upcoming destruction. Landed in Britain countryside, Tal-Rho killed a couple after his lack of control. Soon, Tal was hunted by local people and was eventually captured.

Years later, Tal-Rho was kept in an Air Raid Shelter with the British Army experimenting on him. With an open opportunity, Tal escaped to the exit and killed the soldiers with heat vision.

In 1987, Tal-Rho used his Sunstone Crystal and unlocked his fortress, allowing him to talk to his father's A.I. For his later years, Tal was trained by his father's A.I. and underwent pain tolerance training, eventually leaving his fortress to become "Morgan Edge". However, he returned regularly and soon discovered his brother's presence on Earth. Tal attempted to reach his biological half-brother before being disapproved by his father.

Search for X-Kryptonite
Using the alias of "Morgan Edge", Tal-Rho founded Edge EnerCorp and searched for X-Kryptonite all over the planet in order to to restore Krypton on Earth.

Tal-Rho later went to Saskatchewan with the company of Leslie Larr and Dabney Donovan. He then found the Eradicator during a meteor shower.

In fall 2020, Morgan Edge bought Daily Planet under Galaxy Holdings and appointed Samuel Foswell as its editor-in-chief as well as laying off multiple staffs, such as Clark Kent and Whit.
