[ EU ] Superman was born with a twin brother . Their father did n't plan for two children and had built a ship to carry only one child away from doomed Krypton . Running out of time , he monologues to the two boys as he tries to decide which son to send away and save and which son keep and sacrifice .

Lara screams at me, cursing me for only building a pod big enough for one. How can I blame her? We had planned on naming our son Kal, he was to be our salvation. I know I must choose, but... how can a father make such a choice? The planet is falling apart beneath my feet, I can feel Krypton's very foundation crumbling. A proximity alarm alerts me that a group of people are banging at my doors. How can I choose? To which of you will I name Kal? And which of you will die with your foolish parents here on this cursed world? My security system is going down, they have forced their way in. Lara looks at me with tear-filled eyes. How can I choose? They're coming for us. What kind of father does this? I look at the two boys, they both look strong. I take the one born first, and place him in the pod. You both could have been Kal, the last man of Krypton. You both could have been a superman among the men of Earth. I seal and launch the pod. The computer monitor shows security footage of people are coming through our home. They look desperate and dangerous. I grab a gun and hold the baby close. I will defend this child till my last breath. As the computer tells me that the pod has broken atmosphere and preparing to jump, I point the firearm at the laboratory door. `` Make us proud, Kal.''
