And it's even true - Lara Lor-Van was the more direct, the more aggressive of the couple. People who never read the whole "Tales of Krypton" stories don't know that Bronze Age Lara was kickass.

Jor-El at that point was bookish, almost awkward, and the times when he was spurred to action were usually when Lara got herself into trouble. Superman got his smarts from his father, but his drive and determination... that's all Lara.
