General Zod Portrayed by Ray Stevenson Statistics Full Name Dru-Zod Age 52 Height 6'5" Build Extremely Muscular Eyes Brown Hair Brown Factions Forthcoming Occupation Unintentional Supervillain Alignment Villain Claim to Fame General Zod has not made himself known to the people of Earth quite yet. To those of the Galaxy, Dru-Zod is known as Kryptons most successful General, and a deadly terrorist who has recently escaped from the notorious Phantom Zone. Reputation General Zod's reputation spans across the stars. He's feared as a military leader, hated as a terrorist and traitor to his people, and loved by those who he helped free from the Phantom Zone. Having just arrived to Earth, Zod's not yet had a chance to increase his reputation any. Biography Dru-Zod's legacy begins when he was but a boy living in Argo City. The son of two Kryptonian scientists, Zod was the pride and joy of his parents, as he was their only child. Despite the Zod family's long history of being great military leaders, it was simply not what his father had in mind for his offspring, and he did everything he could to push Dru towards science. Perhaps everything would've turned out fine, but his motivation to follow in his fathers footsteps was cut-short by an extremely unfortunate expedition into Krypton's teeming wilderness. It was supposed to be a fairly short expedition, as they had only been instructed to extract a certain root from it's only location, but things went terribly wrong when his mother sliced her hand on a thorn, and attracted every predator within a hundred meters. Dru-Zod watched as his mother was brutally mauled in front of his very eyes. He and his father fought to the best of their abilities, but things were looking grim. As a last ditch effort, Dru's father sacrificed his life, urging Dru to continue on. Dru did as he was told reluctantly, and left his father to die. He spent several weeks in the wilderness, learning to survive on his own before being rescued by Jor-El and Zor-El. This event chipped away the curious mind, and hardened it into the mind of a warrior. Of a survivor. As the boy grew into a young man he focused himself to training in Kryptonian Martial Arts and weaponry dedicating every ounce of free time to ensuring his entry into the military so that he could protect his people, hoping he would never have to see another Kryptonian die. This mindset paved the way to his early military career. By the time he was considered an adult, Zod had already distinguished himself as a highly competent soldier, and before long was leading the entire Military in combat. Years passed, and Dru-Zod was appointed General over the entire Kryptonian Military. He led them to battle successfully countless time, seating himself as the greatest military mind Krypton had ever produced. It came to Zod's attention through the science council, that Jor-El, accompanied by his mentor Non, were conducting scientific experiments that were less than acceptable. Accompanied by his lieutenant, Ursa, Zod led a raid on Jor-El's laboratory, placing both men under arrest for heresy, claiming that Jor-El's theories regarding the planet's imminent destruction were causing mass hysteria and civil unrest. Not long after Jor-El's arrest, General Zod came into knowledge that Jor-El was actually correct, and that the Science Council had been lying to him the entire time. He brought his findings up with the council, and they immediately began to cover it up. Zod, along with Ursa, defected from the council, and went about the effort of warning Krypton's inhabitants of their inevitable fate. Zod and Non grew close, but the council apprehended Non and doomed the man with a lobotomy, turning him into a little less than a half-witted savage. Zod was livid. Abandoning all loyalty to the council, Zod swore revenge against them for their atrocities against Non. In an attempt to enlist Jor-El's aid to wrest control from the council, Jor-El refused, stating that violence was not the solution. Zod disagreed. It was the ONLY solution. Zod, Non, and Ursa, invaded the Council Chambers, slaughtering five of the members before being stopped. Using his last bit of influece, Jor-El pleaded to spare the lives of the three terrorists. The remaining council members placed Jor-El in charge of their sentencing, and he opted for what he thought was the best course of action. Exle. Feeling that Jor-El was a coward for not joining them, Zod vowed vengeance against the House of El, damning his son Kal-El's existence. Jor-El, using a special projector, transported the three terrorists to the Multidimensional void reality known as, the Phantom Zone. In the years following their exile, they sat and watched helpless as their beloved planet exploded. Many decades passed within the Phantom Zone before a mysterious event caused the Phantom Zone to drastically weaken. Awaiting this moment, Zod lead a group of prisoners, including Ursa and Non, out of the prison, escaping into normal space. From there, Zod traveled to Earth, crashing into the Sahara desert. Shortly after his arrival, his Krpytonian powers started to manifest. General Zod had returned, and he had some unfinished business that had to be settled.

Character Details Personality General Dru-Zod was at one point a curious, innocent mind who only cared to better his people. When his mother and father were mauled, everything changed. His heart turned frigid, and in turn so did his goals. The military hardened him further, his actions as a General sometimes ripping at any morality that the Kryptonian clung to. Instead of bettering his people, he wished to rule his people, so that he could protect them. In turn, he turned into a megalomaniacal ruler. He had great intentions, but sometimes his ideas were a bit drastic. Which is honestly an understatement. He knew what was best for his people, and it was the ONLY way. Zod would do anything it took to revive Krypton and his people, and years in the Phantom Zone only left his mind twisted with hatred and want for revenge. Abilities Superhuman Strength Through solar-absorption, Zod has developed inhuman physical strength. There is no object on Earth that Zod can't eventually destroy. While no one knows how strong Zod truly is, it is assumed that one hundred tons is child's play to the Kryptonian General. Along with being able to smash just about anything, Zod can leap extraordinary heights and distances. Superhuman Stamina Zod is able to maintain strenuous physical exertion for an unset amount of time. Despite being able to push his body constantly to the limit, Zod still requires nourishment on a regular basis to sustain his stamina. Invulnerability Along with his enhanced strength and speed, Zod is basically invulernable to most forms of physical damage. Theoretically, Zod could face a low-yield Nuclear Warhead without so much as a bit of a hangover in the morning. Flight Zod defies all known laws of gravity and is able to fly faster than the speed of sound. There are many theories as to how Kryptonian's actually utilize their most well known ability. Some correlate their ability with the unconscious manipulation of gravity.. and some argue, and say that is a psychic ability. Whatever the cause, it is directly linked to the solar energy of the yellow sun. Superhuman Speed Zod is able to move at an accelerated rate of speed. He's able to run at speeds that are beyond supersonic. It's far more taxing on his body, therefor he prefers to fly. Enhanced Senses Zod's fives senses are hundreds, if not thousands of times more acute than that of a normal human being. Able to see details down to the chromosome, or up to several miles away. He can smell smoke five towns over, he can hear conversation from two buildings over. There is very little that manages to get past him. Heat Vision Zod is able to focus intense beams of of heat out of each of his eyes simply by looking at his target. There is very little that he cannot control about his abilities, from intensity to area of effect. Super Breath Zod is able to manipulate the air within his lungs, by freezing it, blowing gale force winds, or inhaling large volumes to utilize in times of despair, such as dispersing toxic clouds. Kryptonian Physiology Hailing from Krypton, General Zod's physiology is far different from that of a human, including extra organs and an extremely rapid metabolism. Influence of a yellow sun and it's solar radiation grants him countless abilities that make him practically a god amongst men. General Of Krypton General Zod was once and remains a great General, whose knowledge of strategy of tactics is that of a Master level. He rules his men with an iron fist, and they excel under his unparalleled leadership. One would rue the day they faced Zod's forces toe to toe. Combat Veteran Zod had to hone his abilities as a soldier before he could learn to rule an army. In turn, he saw more combat as a teenager than most men would ever see in their lives. He's mastered every level of Kryptonian Martial Arts and Weaponry, and was at one point considered the most competent hand-to-hand fighter on Krypton. Along with that, he's mastered stealth, survival, and even managed to pilot spaceships in his career. Advantages Phantom Allies It took Zod leading a small army to escape the Phantom Zone for the group of prisoners to escape. With his exceptional leadership skills, Zod led fellow Kryptonians Ursa and Non out of the Phantom Zone, along with a few others who helped execute the plan. These people are considered his biggest allies. Outfit General Zod's outfit is very similar to that of Superman's, except it is pitch black, with a grey cape. In the center of his chest is the familiar diamond shape of his families crest, a sideways horseshoe making up the design. Disdvantages Kryptonite Zod, like all Kryptonians, is highly susceptible to Green Kryptonite. If it comes into contact with, or anywhere near him, he will suffer the effects of kryptonite poisoning, and lose his powers until it's removed. Solar-powered Zod requires high levels of solar radiation to maintain his abilities. The longer he goes without exposure to a yellow sun, the weaker he becomes. Megalomania Zod has always had the best intentions at heart. Despite this, the man is the epitome of the word megalomaniacal. It's his way or the highway. There is no better opinion, and if one bothers offering it, they will be instantly shut down. Who would know better than him? The once great General of the mighty Kryptonian people. It's ultimately his greatest downfall. Xenophobic Zod has very little regards towards other species. In his heart, he's willing to sacrifice any race, any culture.. any planet to save his people. Once he gained his abilities, this becomes even more of an issue. Who would stop him now?? Magic Vulnerability Zod, along with all other Kryptonian's have a particular vulnerability to magic, and psionic abilities. It's one of the more exploitable weaknesses, though he's no more effected than a normal human might be. Alien General Zod is an alien in every sense of the word. He's unfamiliar with Earth Culture, and can act a bit awkward in the face of trying to be social. Should government agencies find out about his origins, they may try and apprehend the Kryptonian.
