* It's never explicitly spelled out this is the case, but Aazzim is often nicknamed "Aaz" in the issue in which he appears. He may have taken the name as a backhanded "thank you" to the youth for making him see the darkness.

! Mr. Oz was Jor-el, but NOT the Jor-el Superman remembers.

*** He still died in a car crash in the New 52 too though!

to:

*** He still died in a car crash in the New 52 too though!though! In fact, the ''only'' New 52 Superman story that's shown to still be canon involves Oz -- "The Men of Tomorrow". Coincidentally, Clark's origin concerning the death of the Kents is also intact. Because it needs to be for Oz to exist.




to:

* Oz takes a piece of kryptonite from Metallo and is completely fine. It doesn't seem to even slightly affect him. Him being half-human would explain why it wouldn't be ''hugely'' affecting, and only take away his powers (which he may or may not still possess).

* Oz carries a scythe, which Jor-El has never used. A scythe is a farming tool -- Jonathan has much more reason to be familiar with it.

! Mr. Oz isn't ''just'' Jor-El -- he's Jor-El ''and'' Pa Kent, fused together.
* Since his first appearance, he has called Superman "Clark", not Kal-El. Jor-El would have no reason to do this -- especially given his disdain for humanity.
* He mentions having "taught" Clark things. Jor-El hasn't ever taught Clark anything -- ''Jonathan'' taught him moral lessons and helped him adjust to his powers.
* Pa Kent died in a car crash post-Reborn, and this would be an ample time for Doctor Manhattan to abduct him and fuse him with Jor-El.
