Kal-El (UE-44)

"Why? What did I do to you? It wasn't just me. You destroyed my whole planet!"

- Captain Luthor to Superman about his counterpart

Kal-El was the Kryptonian superhero known as Superman before he turned evil and destroyed the Earth.

Early life
Kal-El was born on the planet Krypton and was sent to Earth just before its destruction where he became the vigilante known as Superman.

Turning Evil
Superman eventually turned evil and became an enemy of the U.S. Army who he engaged in battle at some point. He used his heat vision to kill a squadron of soldiers led by General Sam Lane but Captain Luthor managed to survive this encounter and eventually learned his Kryptonian name, his inability to see through lead and his weakness to Green Kryptonite.

He was eventually responsible for the destruction of the Earth.
