General Dru-Zod (commonly just called Zod) is a villainous character from DC Comics and one of Superman's greatest enemies. The former leader of Krypton's military, he had attempted a coup prior to the destruction of his world, only to be defeated and banished to the Phantom Zone for his crimes. He and his followers would eventually escape from the extra-dimensional prison and set their sights on conquering Earth in order to rebuild Kryptonian civilization. Zod's schemes have been repeatedly foiled by Superman, but the monstrous tyrant is nothing if not determined and has returned time and again to destroy the Man of Steel and everything he cares for.
