Quex-Ul was a Kryptonian exiled to the Phantom Zone when he was convicted of killing Rondors, an endangered species, to use their healing horns for the purposes of profit. At a trial presided over by Jor-El, he confessed to the crimes and was sentenced to a twenty-five year exile in the Phantom Zone. He was released by Superman when his time was up. Not a grateful sort, he attempted to lure Superman into a Gold Kryptonite trap, until Superman discovered that Quex-Ul actually acted under the mental control of Rog-Ar, the true Rondor killer. Learning this, Quex-Ul threw himself into the gold Kryptonite radiation to save the hero, losing his powers and memory. [1].
He later came to work at the Daily Planet, but regained his powers and memory after he and Superman were trapped in the Zone by escaping criminals. He sacrificed his life to save the Man of Steel, a final redemption.While on Earth, Quex-El gained superpowers identical to Superman's. They were later removed after he was exposed to gold Kryptonite.
