Like her husband Jor-El, Lara was a successful scientist on the technologically advanced world known as Krypton. Some time after her marriage to Jor-El, Lara gave birth to her only son, Kal-El. The three lived in peace in Krypton's capital city.
Within a short span of time, Jor-El discovered that increased solar flare activity from Krypton's red sun threatened to consume the entire world. He pleaded his case to the Kryptonian Science Council, but the ineffective bureaucrats failed to recognize the urgency of Jor-El's claims. Lara and he began development on an experimental teleportation device. It was their intent to transport whole cities through space to a safe region on a surrogate planet. Without the support of the Science Council however, their work progressed slowly. Laboring within a finite timeframe, they created a small, prototype transmitter device. However, it was only capable of transporting objects that weighed less than fifty Kryptonian pounds. Lara and Jor-El both decided to use the prototype to save their infant son. Lara placed Kal-El inside the transmitter and teleported his atoms across subspace where he eventually rematerialized on a planet called Earth.
Shortly after this incident, Krypton's sun erupted with intense solar flares. The deadly radiation washed over Krypton’s surface destroying everything. Lara died in the arms of her husband, content with the knowledge that her child would grow up safe on an untamed world.Average: Lara possessed the strength level of an average, adult female Kryptonian.
