His ancestor, Queltop Daggle is among the nomadic tribe in that city. There are thousands of pocketed Durlan tribes across the universe. From then on, Mon-El leads the restoration which includes Rimbor, Cargg, Xanthu, Bismoll, Imsk, Phlon, Zoon and Titan. On Titan, he battles Jemm, who senses that the Lanothians telepathic powers are greater than even his. The race agrees to submit to his rule completely and become his citizens. He allows it. His sickness growing, Mon-El returns to Earth to see Jimmy and Superboy. The rocket to return to Daxam will carry a female Daxamite—a victim of Calomar's. Mon-El rescues her and destroys the Human Defense Corps' underwater base. She had come looking for him. Cham steps back in with a device that will open the Phantom Zone. Mon-El refuses to return, but is promised a glorious future and he accepts. He passes Superboy a note to give to Billi. He emerges in the 30th century, greeted by Kal-El and the young Legion. | Adventure v.2 #11/514 (6.10) |

| Brande's assistant Pheebes reads his will. He requests that Superboy be present. As Ren Daggle, he found a library on Durla with legends of Superman which inspired him to leave. He made excuses, left his son with his sister, then found a shape to take him off planet. As a human, he contracted Yorrigan fever which froze him. His first invention was a "star-starter." His passion was to pave the way for Durlans in the galaxy, hoping to bring Superman from the past for inspiration.
