It was established in this month's Supergirl issue. Basically, H'el is telling her that his plans are to save Krypton from it's destruction, and Kara, desperately homesick, is willing to do anything to go back to the way things were. Plus, it was established in this issue that H'el has some degree of telepathic abilities, which I think he might be pushing her with in more subtle ways.

Eh, she's not had a history of good judgement calls in situations like this, such as her actions in Amazons Attack.

Different Supergirl, so that... Doesn't really count. Plus, I hardly think we can hold Amazons Attack against her - everyone came out of that crossover either partially ruined or looking a bit stupider.

Amazons Attack doesn't cout. Everyone acted like an idiot in it.

The only good thing to come out of it was The Deadly Bee Weapon.

I think I like it even less given that I'm seeing some seriously squicky implications given the tenor of H'el's monologuing here.

Like a "repopulate the species" kind of squicky implication.

But maybe that's just my own squicky imagination at work.

I don't see what other implication that could have.

The only fault I can find with this story/event so far is that I think they sped up Kara's English-speaking abilities a little much. I was hoping for a slower, more gradual arc as Kara learned the language.

Of course, it's possible that H'el might take out her ability after he's defeated and she'll have more English in her vocabulary from memory, but not have access to all of it yet.

Ouch, poor Kon. Give the kid a break, Lobdell.
And that's not the way you treat a lady, H'el - here's hope Kara gets to punctuate that (with, say, a right hook) in the next round.
Though it's fascinating to see someone from Krypton adopting slightly... different fashion standards (pretty metal, indeed; he'd look the part in Bastard!!).

According to H'el, he was one of Jor-El's pupils (he considers Kal to be like a younger brother), and was part of Krypton's first tests at space travel, but his leaving the planet like that caused him to change and basically disappear.

Oh, not merely metal. Look closer at him. He is DANZIG.

I'm never terribly interested by Krypton-related stories. I don't necessarily think they're bad, but they always cover the exact same ground.
New Kryptonian shows up, admonishes Clark and accuses him of turning his back on his culture (which is goddamn ridiculous and I sincerely hope that the writers know that and are writing it as such) and then either tries to take over Earth as the vanguard of a new Kryptonian civilization or tries to restore Krypton itself somehow. Sprinkle with the other Super-characters as required.
The only thing interesting about this is the whole clone drama, and even that is ruined by the fact that I hate Supergirl for being so cold to Kon. Also not a fan of this pale dude, I know he's been depicted on some upcoming covers with the reverse S-shield on his chest, and if he turns out to be the New 52 Bizarro I may lose the will to live.

They did that best with the Eradicator in "Return of the Krypton Man." Superman said he was glad he wasn't a "true Kryptonian" as Krypton was too obsessed wtih science.

They should do a take on the whole "You aren't acting like a true Kryponian" and add an extra element. Like "Why isn't Clark Kent mayor, governor or president? Even in your flimsy disguise, you feel a need to lead these beings to a better future."

because unless you're a dictator power is limited. Better to be a life-saver and an inspiration

I wonder if Lobdell is doing his own riff on the "That thing is not my son" attitude Clark had towards Kon in "Young Justice." All right, Clark's attitude wasn't *that* bad, but...

Does H'el have a butt cape because he's talking out of his arse, or because he's trying to emphasise the shape of his hips?
