Quex-Ul

Kryptonian

Quex-Ul first appeared in Superman #157 (1962-11), published by DC. 39 appearances are indexed across 24 series.

Quex-Ul was sentenced to nearly 25 Earth years (18 Kryptonian sun-cycles) in the Phantom Zone for slaying the rare rondor creatures and cutting off their radiant, curative horns. He was the last prisoner projected into the Zone on Krypton before its destruction. When he served his full sentence, Quex-Ul notified Superman and was released. Quex-Ul intended on getting revenge on Jor-El, the man who sentenced him to the Zone, by exposing his son Superman to gold kryptonite. When Superman proved that Quex-Ul was innocent, having been framed by Rog-Ar, Quex-Ul attempted to stop Superman from being exposed. Quex-Ul inadvertently exposed himself, and was robbed of his powers and his memory. Clark Kent set Quex-Ul up with a job at the Daily Planet using the alias Charlie Kweskill. Quex-Ul later sacrificed his life in a battle against the entity called Aethyr.
