Lara Van-El (died 1975) was a scientist of Krypton. She is the mother of Kal-El and the wife of the late Jor-El.

Early life
Lara was born on the planet Krypton and became a scientist after reaching adulthood. She fell in love with a fellow scientist named Jor-El, whom she later married. Lara gave birth to a son, Kal-El, in 1975.

Sending Kal-El to Earth
Not long after their son's birth, Lara and Jor-El sent Kal-El to Earth to save him from Krypton's impending destruction.
