Everyone knows the story of Krypton: The destruction of Superman's home planet is the inciting incident that allows Kal-El to come to Earth as a baby and grow up to become its greatest protector, an origin story that has been told and retold in countless comic books, TV shows, and films over the past 80 years.
But as Action Comics (the series that first introduced the world to the Man of Steel back in 1938) prepares to release its milestone 1000th issue in April, Syfy is offering an origin story for the origin story — taking us back 200 years before Superman's birth to meet Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe), his grandfather, as an equally headstrong young man.
Why should we get invested in the fate of a planet that's doomed to die? Because it turns out that Krypton's fate is inextricably linked to Superman's, thanks to an intriguing time travel element introduced in the pilot. We catch up with Seg-El after his family has been disgraced and stripped of its social standing thanks to the forbidden scientific research of his grandfather, Val-El (Ian McElhinney, aka Game of Thrones' Barristan Selmy), who believes the planet is in danger and, spoiler alert, may be on to something.
