The history of Superman is well documented throughout time in either comics, TV shows or movies. However, the history of his bloodlines has been pushed to the side just a bit, that is until the recent premiere of Krypton. In the new show on SYFY, it chronicles the life of Superman’s grandfather and great grandfather’s studies while on the planet of Krypton before Kal-El was born.
While it was interesting to see the beginning of his story, what stood out the most is what may have slipped the eyes of many. While critics have bashed the pilot, there are some, according to CBR, who suggest Krypton may be the best of the bunch.
Superman’s grandfather Seg-El and his family are looked upon as outcast on Krypton, but to his girlfriend Lyta Zod, he’s just the man she loves. Later on in the episode, Seg-El saves the lives of the same LawMakers who sent his grandfather to death in the opening scene of Krypton. For his good deed, Seg was given back his rank and was offered the daughter of Daron-Vex (Nyssa) to bind with.
As Nyssa and Seg were given a glimpse into who their child will be, a name was given, Kor-Vex. But after some investigation on my part, Seg only had two sons, and neither was named Kor-Vex. This is where it gets a bit interesting as far as Superman’s bloodlines are concerned.
Seg is in love with Lyta, and while Krypton has us believing that women no longer carry children in their wombs, they never said it couldn’t happen. If Jor-El (Superman’s father) is not one of the offspring of Seg and Nyssa, then who is his mother? After Seg came from the Oracle with Nyssa, he would end up making love, the old-fashioned way to Lyta who just happens to be black. What if? With this being the first episode, there is still more to come, and things may change, but for now, Krypton may have let the cat out the bag that Superman has a trace of African-American blood in him.
Even though Lyta is a Zod and Seg an El, whose to say they can’t sneak off and get married and start a family? From the pilot episode, we know that both Lyta and Seg are rebellious and will do whatever to be together. Even with Lyta’s mother responsible for killing Seg’s mother and father, they still share a bond.
As long as we’ve read and watched Superman, his bloodline has always been one of a white superhero. But after watching Krypton, it gives off the impression that Superman could be part black. Yes, I know it may seem impossible, but in the world of comics-turned TV shows or movies, nothing is impossible.
There is a good chance that Jor-El could very well be the offspring of Lyta and Seg-El.
the recent premiere of Krypton
except, Krypton is altered history to fit the new world order narrative that wypepo are inferior, similar to the Black Panther, who’s role and disguise was taken up by Capt. America after BP went cray-cray and yet is again magically black for a movie
This reminds me of one time when I was watching olympic coverage a number of years ago. A black ice skater from France was performing. An announcer from the a US television network referred to her as “African-American” at least three times during the broadcast.
Superman had two Jewish dads, Jerry and Joe, we all know that:) Joanna was Joe’s model for Lois and she married Jerry.
Krypton will now match Wakanda the fictional African country from Black Panther with a huge surge in requests for hotels and travel information.
To have been that good an athlete, he almost had to have had some African bloodline.
Whoa, lol!
Did you mean, "WE WUZ MEN UF STEEL N SHAFT?
I guess African-Frenchman just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
The fat Lois cartoon... for her own good... ROFL!
If Dorothy Gale can be black and Little Orphan Annie can be black, BJ Clinton can be a black prez and Rachel Dolezal can self identify as black, then Superman can be made black. Apparently, skin color and ancestry is just as fluid as genders.
Re your post 14, with the fat black lady throwing the table:
Is that some new kind of urban dodgeball? They are on different sides of the room, throwin’ stuff and gettin’ outta da way.
A classic.
Oh, come on, you knew he was using his x-ray vision to look at Jimmy’s whitey tighties.
Hey, the only real Superman for me was George Reeves. "Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings at a single bound..."
LOL
A black man's kryptonite.
- Undercover Brother
lol
And an America.
Not to mention the Black knights of the Round Table.
I swear I threw up a little in my mouth before I reached for the remote and retained my normalcy as soon as I pressed 'delete' on my DVR.
We are nowadays find that it is required that no TV series, film, play nor any entertainment be produced unless it has major diversity no matter what it does to the plot or history? Soon I fear it will be mandatory to have Black, Latino or gay actors play all the necessary parts.
I can imagine Spielberg rebooting Lincoln with the rapper Common as Honest Abe and Whoopi Goldberg as his main squeeze, Mary. Of course, all the Union soldiers and good folk will be Black while all them southern trash shall be lily White--
