Regardless of what you may think about Mon-El, he is an enigmatic character. We all presume he is the Prince and we are probably right. But as Jeremiah suggested there is more to it than that. If we take into account the Dominator's bow, we can guess that Mon-El has a pretty sordid past. Up to this point, we think the Daxamite vessel is searching for the prince. But, what if there's more to it than that?
Whether or not he's the Princ, there is something else going on. IMHO, I thought it purposely confusing the scene where he leaves Daxam. The wounded companion states "Let me go die with my people." Isn't that an odd statement for a guard to make? I would expect that of someone in high authority.
So I pose to you, what is Mon-El's secret that Jeremiah threatened to expose and who is Mon-El.
