Who is Mon-El on Supergirl?

We have a relatively simple history of one of the most confusing characters in the DC Universe.

Warning:This article contains potentialSupergirlseason 3 spoilers.

You know what my first thought was when that mysterious rocket crashed in theSupergirlseason 1 finale?

Wouldnt it be cool if Mon-El was in this rocket?

Well, guess, what?

You know what this isnt?

A comprehensive history of Mon-El.

Because that would be really long, confusing, and potentially tedious.

Im just going to hit a few high points, specifically ones that I think might be relevant forSupergirlfans.

Those in-story/environmental complications eventually gave way to editorial ones, which made Mon-Els story trickier.

So whats a guy from Daxam to do?

Ill get back to one of these down below, but stick with me.

Its actually a wonderful little short story, written by Geoff Johns with art by Eric Wright.

Its like a deleted sequence fromSuperman: The Movieor a lost episode ofSmallville.

I wish I could recommendthese storiesmore highly, but I found them a little talky and bland.

Your mileage may vary, of course.

One solution was to change the very inspiration for the Legion in the first place.

That would beMon-El…ermm…Lar Gand!

The villains of last years CW DC TV crossover were the creepy looking aliens known as The Dominators.

Valor played a major part in stopping the Dominators duringInvasion, and liberated one of their superhuman farms.

Its kinda neat, right?
