In the story "Superman's Return to Krypton!", Lyla Lerrol is introduced as the most famous actress on Krypton. Superman meets her after he accidentally breaks the time barrier and becomes stranded on Krypton shortly before its destruction. While attempting to aid his father Jor-El in his effort to develop a rocket ship, he accidentally meets Lyla. The two immediately feel an attraction to each other, one which quickly grows into love after Superman saves Lyla when their rocket goes out of control.
Resigned to being stranded on Krypton, Superman is prepared to marry Lyla when fate intervenes again. While working on the set of one of Lyla's films, Superman becomes trapped inside a full-sized model rocket with a Kryptonian Flame Beast. The force of the Flame Beast's breath acts as a rocket blast and propels the ship away from Krypton. Once he approaches a yellow sun, Superman's powers return. However, he realizes that it is impossible for him to return to Krypton and save Lyla.

Lyla in bloom
Her innocence and
Youth stripped away
Eighteen years old
But she's lived the
Life of sixty-eight
The heartache of a mother gone
And father she's never known
So she dreams of
A better place
Scared and alone
Turning tricks and
Getting stoned to survive
Vegas sex queen
Living in a world that's
So obscene in a dead end life
At the end of every tragic day
She says this to herself
If i can hold on i know
When I find my wings
I'll fly away
Over the mountains
Over the pain
And I won't look back
Cause I've gotta
Get away from here
I've gotta get away from here
When I find my wings
I'll fly away
Over the mountains
Over the pain
And I won't look back
When I find my wings
I'll fly away
And I'll never, never
Never look back
Cause I've gotta
Get away from here
I've gotta get away from here
