Summary
- Hannah Waddingham starred as Jax-Ur in Syfy's 'Krypton'.
- The series explored Superman's grandfather, Seg-El, on Krypton.
- Waddingham's Jax-Ur was a morally gray resistance leader.

Hannah Waddingham, known for her role in "Ted Lasso," previously portrayed another Kryptonian character, Jax-Ur, in the Syfy series "Krypton." This "Superman" prequel ran for two seasons, from 2018 to 2019.
The series centered on Kal-El's grandfather, Seg-El, and his life on Krypton, featuring conflicts with villains like General Zod and Brainiac.
Waddingham's Jax-Ur was a departure from her comic book counterpart. While retaining a scientific background, her version became a ruthless, morally gray antagonist to Zod, leading the resistance.
The show also featured other characters like Lobo, long before his appearance in the DCU movie "Supergirl."
