Sul-Van is skeptical of this plan, but he ultimately agrees to distract the police while Jor-El and his wife, Lara, prepare the ship to launch. Jor-El quickly makes preparations for his back-up plan: to save his son, Kal-El, by sending him off in a small one-person spaceship he had earlier developed. Unfortunately, it is too late, as Krypton will explode within hours. He narrowly manages to evade them and returns home.Īt his home, Sul-Van has been reviewing Jor-El's research and found that it is actually quite sound. Jor-El's hesitation allows Brainiac to summon a squad of security guards, advising them to use deadly force against him. Jor-El is tempted to destroy him then and there, but Brainiac reminds him that if he goes, so does the planet's legacy. According to his programming, the survival of Krypton's knowledge is more important than that of its people. Brainiac lied so that he could secretly download himself into a satellite and escape the planet's destruction, rather than be ordered to waste time preparing an evacuation plan. He breaks into Brainiac's central unit and discovers that he is correct, and Brainiac knows it. In spite of Brainiac, Jor-El still believes he's right. Jor-El warns the council that their blind dependence on the machine will doom them all, but the council is openly outraged when they hear his rescue plan: to send the entire population into the Phantom Zone-a penal dimension housing vicious criminals and creatures-and then release them on a different planet. ![]() The council turns to Brainiac, who dismisses Jor-El's findings and explains that Krypton is only undergoing a temporary orbital shift. Jor-El reports his findings to Krypton's ruling council, insisting that the planet will explode soon. As he says this, an earthquake rocks Krypton, worrying the populace. Jor-El's only hope, Sul-Van warns, is that Brainiac will support his theory, or else his career will be over. His father-in-law, Sul-Van, warns him that his theory will only cause Jor-El to lose the respect of the scientific community, and the ruling council. Later, he goes over the data and it only supports his theory that Krypton is on the verge of destruction. His research complete, Jor-El heads home. ![]() Jor-El angrily complies, but his bad mood is dispelled by the appearance of his infant son, Kal-El. While working, Brainiac, Krypton's omniscient central computer, appears on screen and demands for his collected data. He manages to escape the creature and returns to his mobile research platform. He is suddenly attacked by a giant amoeba-like creature. On the distant planet of Krypton, Jor-El conducts research in the desolate northern region.
