The early portrayals of Kal-L show him to be stronger than a locomotive, but as time went by, Kal-L became much Stronger.

By the mid-1960s Superman’s drawing power as DC’s marquee character had begun to fade. One of these, Wayne Boring, eventually replaced Shuster as one of main artists to draw the character. The heroes went to the Dawn of Time to attack the Anti-Monitor but failed to defeat him. Though Kal-L's costume wasn't used as much as Kal El's costume in the media.
