The Ancient History of Krypton and Earth

My brother Brian is a genius, and most of what follows is his idea, I just did the research.
Jor-El
One of the more exasperating issues in confronting the story of Superman’s origin is the central question of why no one on Krypton believes Jor-El when he discovers that the planet is about to blow-up. I mean, looking at his biography, he’s a great scientist, from a long line of incredible scientists. Wikipedia provides a handy list of Jor-El’s ancestors:

Ancestors of Jor-El included: Val-El, a famous explorer; Sul-El, the inventor of Krypton’s first telescope; Tala-El, the author of Krypton’s first planetary constitution; Hatu-El, the inventor of Krypton’s first electromagnet and electric motor; and Gam-El, the father of modern Kryptonian architecture.

Put in Earth terms, Jor-El is descended from Columbus, Galileo, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Edison and Le Corbusier. I doubt that anyone living on this planet today could sport so accomplished a lineage.

The Phantom Zone?
Jor-El was Krypton’s greatest living scientific genius. He invented the hovercar, discovered the Phantom Zone (and journeyed there) and when the planet began to suffer from violent kryptonquakes, he was the scientist sent to investigate their cause. After determining that the planet was going to be destroyed, he was ignored, his evidence suppressed, and since then every origin story has had to grapple with the central question of why.
Jor-El’s tragic, Cassandra-like gift to see the future but to be unbelieved may have it’s roots in one of his distinguished, distant ancestors. Imagine if you will, and ancient Kryptonian scientist in the primitive stone age of Krypton’s past, a man we’ll call Al-El, the first of the El line. This man might be the inventor of the wheel, the discoverer of fire, and/or the inventor of the written word. He’s brilliant, and everyone thinks he’s great, but he makes one fatal mistake: he comes to believe that the world is going to blow up.
Everyone on prehistoric Krypton believes him, of course. The man is brilliant, and he gave the world writing and fire to read it by. Under his auspices everyone in the world works around the clock, and the brilliant mind of Al-El comes up with a scheme that seems insane: He wants to build flying machines and go to another world.
In the end, these primitive peoples come up with a rocket made of wooden reeds, held together by sturdy vines, and powered by gunpowder-like substance invented by Kal-El. All this world’s efforts have created a spacecraft capable of carrying one person into space, to escape the cataclysm, and by agreement the world decides to send Al-El’s infant son, who we’ll call Bam-El, into space. He will be the only person on the planet to be saved in the coming cataclysm.
The rocket is launched, and the world waits to die, and nothing happens. The world keeps going, and the story of Al-El, sending his infant son off into space becomes the subject of myth and legend, a joke that only slightly mars the reputation of the El family due to their great accomplishments.
But what of the baby, who we have called Bam-El? Those who took the story even a little bit seriously came to believe that the baby must have died, that a primitive wooden spaceship could never have survived the explosion of the rocket engines, and the baby could never have survived the cold vacuum of space. But did they take into account the drugs given to the baby, distilled from long extinct Kryptonian species, that induced a deep, almost coma-like sleep? Did they count on the cold of space acting on the baby’s unique Kryptonian physiology putting the child into suspended animation, or the effect of yellow suns during it’s long voyage, bolstering and superhumanizing the baby?
Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm
When the rocket did eventually crash land on Earth, and the occupant discovered, the baby Bam-El was taken to an orphanage. The child, in the orphanage displayed great strength, and took to slamming the floor with a wooden club, causing whole buildings to shake. The orphanage named the baby Bamm-Bamm, because that was the only part of his name the child could remember, and he repeated the word endlessly as he slammed the floor.
Of course, Bamm-Bamm was adopted by Betty and Barney Rubble, the next-door neighbors of Fred and Wilma Flintstone. Eventually Bamm-Bamm would bcome friends with Pebbles, and the rest, as they say, is prehistory.
Captain Caveman!
But wait a minute, you’re saying, there’s no proof that Superman exists in the same universe as The Flintstones. And there you would be wrong. One of the many later spin-off on The Flintstones was The Flintstone Comedy Hour, which featured a superhero character called Captain Caveman. 

Captain Caveman worked at The Daily Granite newspaper with Wilma and Betty. His “secret identity” was Chester, the office boy. To disguise himself as Chester, Captain Caveman wore a pair of glasses and a tie. Despite the simplicity of his disguise, he required a coat rack and an elaborate transformation sequence to become Captain Caveman. 

Captain Caveman was featured years earlier in the series Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels, centered

on the mystery-solving adventures of the Teen Angels—Brenda, Dee Dee and Taffy—and their friend Captain Caveman (or Cavey for short), a prehistoric caveman whom the girls discovered and thawed from a block of ice.

Captain Caveman participated in the sports contests known as Scooby’s All-Star Laff-A-Lympics and played for the Scooby Doobies against the Yogi Yahooeys and The Really Rottens.
Scooby-Doobies
Given that we now have a direct crossover between Scooby-Doo and the Flintstones, it’s a short hop to Superman. In The New Scooby-Doo Movies, Scooby and the gang met Batman and Robin, twice. And not just any Batman. The specific Batman Scooby met later appeared on the Hanna-Barbera produced show Super Friends, featuring Superman.
So given that Superman and The Flinstones both exist in the same universe, and given the similarities between the origin of Bamm-Bamm and the origin of Superman, is it really so strange to assume that Bamm-Bamm is a long lost relative of Superman? The answer is “no.”
