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?

"The bottom line involves choices. Neither gods nor humans have ever stood calmly in a minefield forever. Good or evil, they are bound to choose. And when they do, you will see the truth of all that motivates us. As a thinking being, you have the obligation to choose. If the fate of all mankind were in your hands, what would your decision be? As a writer and an artist, I've drawn my answer." - Jack Kirby

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?
