In the pages of Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen, Jack Kirby once wrote:

So is there any chance Karl Kesel originally intended Kon-El to be a clone of Superman?

Well, there was a two-pager in one of Kirby's OLSENs in which one of the DNAliens was sent into space with a canister strapped to his back containing the sample of Superman's DNA.  And isn't Kon-El supposed to be an age-frozen clone of Supes?
