Daxamites get the same powers as Kryptonians when they leave the homeworld, so it's a similar choice.
Except that Kryptonians couldn't leave their planet. A side effect of their genetic experimentation in the past.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Which canon? :)

Oh please, don't go asking for titles. That statement falls under "what I read a while ago". Which I should have written down earlier. I can try to describe the story arc and if someone knows more than I do, feel free to smack me down.
It was during one of Supes many 'adventures away from earth' story arcs. He meets an alien cleric, living in isolation becasue of a mistake he made in the past. Apparently, he had visited Krypton and convinced some of the people that they could leave the planet and join him in space and everything would be okay.
He was wrong and they all died.
Or something like that. I don't like talking out of my ass about stuff but this really strikes a strong memory vibe. So I thought I'd throw it out here and see what's made of it.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Wasn't that during the "Trial of Superman" arc and his subsequent self-imposed exile from Earth?

The Trial of Superman
Superman is abducted and put on trial by an alien Tribunal, charged with being responsible for the death of all Kryptonians, because his ancestor caused the genetic defect that stopped them from leaving Krypton.

Could be. I also remembered an 'Elseworlds' issue I have buried somewhere. The premise is that Jor-el found not only a cure to allow his son to leave Krypton, but all the other Kryptonians as well. So they did. And came to earth. I think it was around 100,000 of them all told.

Sigh. DC canon has been rewritten more than Russian history.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Now my head hurts.
Mon El (aka M'onel aka Valor aka whatever other name they want to use to erase his past history)
God, it's enough to make you hate the letter "L."
So who is Mon El these days?

Lois Lane, Lana Lang, Larry Linvil

Hell, is he still around? Did he survive "Zero Hour"?
