Bio: When Mongul arrived in the Fortress of Solitude on
Superman's birthday, his gift to him was the Black Mercy, an animal that
attaches to your chest and gives you your every desire. In Superman's
case, it was this--a still very much alive Krypton, with his parents
still alive, his own wife (Loana) and son (Van-El) by his side. Upon
many tremors on Krypton and hearing voices, Kal-El eventually gave into
the thought that this was all a delusion, and was not real. Despite much
pain from having to give up knowing what he had come to love more than
anything, he was able to tear away from this dream world, resulting in
another destruction of Krypton--this one, of course, nothing but a
dream. |
