The first Jor-El, the angels did say, was to be played by acting god Marlon Brando. As his super baby speeds toward Earth, Jor-El says, "They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason…I have sent them you, my only son." Raised by lowly mortals, the child answers his higher call, turns into Christopher Reeve, and does super stuff, including defeating Lex Luthor (which sounds a helluva lot like "Lucifer").
