Warned by Jor-el, Superboy's father, that Krypton would soon explode, he headed for earth, guided by a map Jor-el gave him. He drifted through space for years, in suspended animation, finally reaching earth. He had amnesia and Jor-el's map convinced Superboy this was his big brother. Since they met on Monday, Superboy called him Mon-el. Later, exposure to lead, his one weakness, endangered his life, but restored his memory. Superboy put him in the Phantom Zone till a cure could be found. 1,000 years later, Brainiac 5 discovered a cure and freed Mon-el, who joined the Legion of Superheros. Original 3 members of the Legion of Superheroes: Saturn Girl Lightning Lad Cosmic Boy Origin of the Bizarros Somebody (General Zod?) got hold of an imperfect duplicating ray, and duplicated Krypton to form the cube world of Bizarro.
