Exactly what I was going to type Ibby!
Hmm. Another cousin suggests another sibling of either Jor-El or Lara. Oops no, has to be Jor-El to also be cousin of Kara.
I can't think of any but perhaps was Dev-Em a cousin?

Everyone knows Kal and Kara are cousins, but what was the name of THEIR cousin? Hint--Pre-Crisis this person was the child of Jor-El's twin brother, Nim-El...

OK-- time for the Super-Duper Hint that eventually leads to the answer by simple process of elimination...
By cosmic coincidence, there was only a SINGLE LETTER DIFFERENCE between the name of his cousin and what Superboy called an amnesiac Lar Gand...

stile86 has it!
As the son of Jor-El's twin brother, Nim-El, Don-El was a resident of Kandor, when his cousin rescued the city from Brainiac. Don-El was first seen in JO #60 as a member of the Superman Emergency Squad, as he bore a strong resemblance to his cousin Kal-El. Later he became the Police Chief of Kandor, and the Jim Gordon figure for Nightwing and Flamebird during the duo's run in SUPERMAN FAMILY. Don-El once became delusional and escaped Kandor believing he was actually Superman. His cousin disguised himself as members of his own rogue's gallery and the cousins battled until he recovered his true self. Presumably, Don-El was among the rest of his people when they were returned to normal stature on Rokyn.
stile86 has the next question...

Total guess. I almost put Don-El, the Mighty Duck from Krypton.
Cool choice Korbal! I know a fair bit of the earlier Superman lore but that one was completely new to me. Great to learn.
One time Superman teamed up with another hero to defend Earth from an approaching space seed, but the seed gives them both amnesia and they both deduce separately that they are the other hero. Which hero did Superman believe himself to be?

Recall reading that story in an old DC Digest--Clark almost committed murder..."You're not Superman, I am!"
But will give others a chance to answer...
