 Jor-El - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the 1978 movie, Jor-El is shown as wearing the Superman "S"-shield symbol as the family crest of the House of El (it was in fact Marlon Brando's idea to wear the symbol in this manner).
Even before Jor-El's birth, the El family was renowned across Krypton for its various contributions to Kryptonian society.
Ancestors of Jor-El included: Val-El, a famous explorer; Sul-El, the inventor of Krypton's first telescope; Tala-El, the author of Krypton's first planetary constitution; Hatu-El, the inventor of Krypton's first electromagnet and electric motor; and Gam-El, the father of modern Kryptonian architecture.

Jor- El, or Jor, as he was affectionately known by his family, was a controversial scientist who by his views and actions had antagonized the government's position concerning interstellar travel.

In the newspaper strip, also written by Siegel, it was mentioned that Lara/Lora's father (actually, her name was pronounced close to "Laura", a sort of middle sound between the two) gave his delivering doctor a black eye, and that his mother could barely keep him from leaping out of her arms.
Yet for Dakka-Ra and his pregnant daughter, it was a hollow victory...for as the Kryptonians arrived in force and drove off the blue-skinned invaders, no trace was found of Mar-El, even his body, and Dakka-Ra was afraid he might have been captured...even dissected.
