@ Jay: According to a comment ...PRgirl1294 said... <br /><i>@ Jay: According to a comment that Scott Lobdell made on here: (http://www.comicvine.com/news/who-is-hel-and-how-will-he-influence-the-superman-family-titles/145670/), H'el is not a clone, so there goes your "Kon 1.0" theory.</i><br /><br />Not a Clone...? Hmm, well that upsets things. I'd thought he would be a clone that Jor-el took pity on but ended up having to exile for whatever reason.<br />So if he's someone who did spent time With Jor-el just what is he? I'd be surprised if he's true Kryptonian, and I don't think he's some random alien who ends up on Krypton... a madman who's come across knowledge of Krypton perhaps? Thinking about it he has a great deal in common with Zor-el's Worldkillers, it that coincidence I wonder or is there a link...?<br /><br /><br /><br />Dave Mullennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-17059069591525155092013-01-08T06:38:30.515-05:002013-01-08T06:38:30.515-05:00Aww, nuts.

H'el seems like an interesting character, villain or otherwise, and it would suck if he only got to show up for one event. And according to that same comment, he's gonna be in a lot of books outside of the Superman family group.PRgirl1294https://www.blogger.com/profile/17851850537996919465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-26001893974529401622013-01-07T20:43:56.200-05:002013-01-07T20:43:56.200-05:00Thanks for all the comments.

I still think he's Kon 1.0. But, according to this interview, his memories are neither false nor is he flat out lying. So what I now think happened is that Jor-El at some point revived or released an imprisoned Kon and rehabilitated him, in secret. Of course this still leaves the question in my mind of why he carved a backwards S into his chest if his love of the El family is geniuine.<br /><br />As for still reading about He'l in a years time, I wouldn't mind it. I'm half expecting the character to die at the end of this arc but would be more than pleased if he didn't. It'd actually be refreshing if he wasn't treated as a one-off villain and was actually adopted into a more permanent place in the rogues gallery.Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-84558229368955417202013-01-07T16:39:55.962-05:002013-01-07T16:39:55.962-05:00Yeah, interesting comments but I don't want to...Yeah, interesting comments but I don't want to still be reading about H'el in a year's time.

I worry."</i><br /><br />Reading Lobdell's interviews and the scattershot nature of Teen Titans and to an extent of this months Superman makes me more convinced you'll be proved correct.<br />He is well know for starting plots that he doesn't actually have an end point worked out for - as far back as his X-Men days he would throw out ideas like confetti and make it up as he went along, that's a reason we got Onslaught. And that's the reason his Superman characters don't make sense when put under scrutiny.Dave Mullennoreply@blogger.com
