Nox-El (Earth-One)

From DC Database

Nox-El was a native of the planet, Krypton. Not only was he a respected member of the noble House of El, he was also a world class entertainer quoted as, "One of the leading lights of the Kryptonian theater". He was the father of Fil-El, a direct ancestor of the hero known as Superman.

First Appearance: Krypton Chronicles #1

Known powers: Nox-El possessed no superhuman powers while living under a red sun. Had he existed on a world revolving around a yellow sun, he would have developed physical attributes equitable to that of Superman.

Notes

• The character of Nox-El was created by writer E Nelson Bridwell and artist Curt Swan.

• Nox-El's existence is exclusive to Krypton of the Pre-Crisis continuity.

• Nox-El's final fate has never been revealed, but it is reasonable to assume that he passed away of natural causes long before the ultimate destruction of Krypton.
