| Jax-Ur was a scientist on Krypton who originally worked closely with Jor-El developing early Kryptonian rockets, including the early prison capsules. The first capsule was sabotaged, ironically, by a matter-dissolver ray secretly developed by Jax's grandfather Vas-Ur. After that failure, Jax-Ur still attended Jor-El and Lara's wedding, but started his own competing and illegal rocketry program, head-quartered in the Jewel Mountains. |
| He developed a nuclear missile and decided to test it against a giant meteor in space. If this test proved successful, Jax-Ur would then commence the build-up of a massive, privately-held nuclear arsenal with which he would overthrow the Kryptonian government, and place the entire planet under his dominion. His missile collided with a spaceship piloted by Jor-El, altering its trajectory. Instead of striking the meteor, it instead struck the Kryptonian moon of Wegthor, destroying the moon and its lunar colony. Although the incident was an accident, Jax-Ur was placed on trial for the deaths of over five-hundred colonists. He became the first criminal in Kryptonian history to be imprisoned inside the dimension known as the Phantom Zone. |
| Time passed and more and more criminals were exiled into the zone, at which point, Jax-Ur met the military leader known as General Zod. Aligning himself with Zod, he committed his amoral, scientific genius towards avenging himself against Jor-El. In an ironic twist, fate would deny him vengeance. As Jor-El lamented, "while Jax-Ur was sentenced to life, Krypton had been sentenced to death!". Jax-Ur and Va-Kox did spent a few fleeting moments free shortly before the cataclysm, but the chain reaction in Krypton's core blew them back into the Phantom Zone. |
| Years passed, until Jax-Ur learned that the son of Jor-El, Kal-El, had survived Krypton's destruction and was now living on Earth. Jax-Ur escaped the Zone and discovered that under a yellow sun, he developed the same powers as Kal-El and set out to have his revenge on the son of Jor-El. |
