![]() ![]() When Seg was in Fortress, grieving for the death of Adam Strange and the thought of never seeing his grandson Kal-El, Val told him that the sig on their house and on the sunstone held by Seg came from the ancient Kryptonian word for hope. Despite not having the knowledge of, as the real Val never programmed it own knowledge on him, Val promised him to try. Val was later contacted by Seg to tell him about the ancient Kryptonian technology and to repair the containment field on the capsule where the genetic experiment - Doomsday - is kept. After Val hacked his neural network, the connection was disabled, allowing Black Zero to kill VOR/Brainiac in Genesis Chamber, also releasing Dev-Em from his control. They planned to sever the link between VOR/Brainiac and his guard unit Red Shard, also including Dev-Em so that he could shut down his unit. The resistance movement members Seg, Lyta-Zod and Nyssa-Vex later came to Fortress to bring alive, but semi-conscious Dev-Em who was controlled by Brainiac. After some encouragement, Strange erased the discussion between them and mildly rebooted it, after Strange decided to kill General Zod and prevent Seg to save Kandor, hoping in that way to become a true hero. Val encouraged him to not give up and that there was still a hope. Strange told him that he failed everything to save the future of Krypton and Kal-El. During the great unrest in Kandor, due to its coup attempt against VOR/Brainiac, Val talked with Strange, the latter asking to repair zeta ray device to return home. Rhom awakened and told him and Adam Strange to stop her daughter Ona who was infected, but soon died and Val was unable to heal her. He put the nubots to enter her cortex to find out the informations and to remove Brainiac's modifications from her. Rhom was taken to his place and was put under his care. One host was infected, Rhom, under Brainiac's control so that he could collect the data but was stopped by Seg despite relaying data to him. He helped to analyze Brainiac's probe found from Outlands, containing the sentry and the parasite for infecting the host. In his Fortress, Val told Seg about his ancestry and his ancestors who accomplished the feats in Kryptonian society. Val helped Seg and Seg's ally from the future Adam Strange to fight against Brainiac and his conquest. When his grandson Seg discovered his Fortress of Solitude, he also activated his hologram. He escaped to the Phantom Zone and was unable to escape because Dru-Zod from the future stole his way out. At his execution, Val told his grandson, Seg, to keep believing in a better tomorrow, before walking out into the cold and falling. He was sentenced to death and the House of El was struck from the Registry of Citizens, meaning his family was now Rankless without guild or honor. However, Val had taken precautions to safeguard his work, and hid the location of the Fortress. When Val-El tried to warn the Council of Krypton's vulnerability, he was charged with rebelling against the lawful authority and found guilty of sedition. During his research, Val found evidence of an alien presence consuming other worlds and believed that it would soon come for Krypton. Val continued his work in secret, working out of a hidden facility he called the Fortress of Solitude. When the Voice of Rao rose to power, the Council shut down his work. Val-El was the greatest scientist on Krypton, and he was determined to prove that Kryptonians were not alone in the universe. Later in his life, he would become the father of a son, Ter-El and much become the grandfather of Ter's son, Seg. Val-El was born on Krypton to a scientist named Jor-El and an unknown woman. ![]()
