General Zod (Dru-Zod II)

Dru-Zod II, also known as Avruskin, Colonel Zod, Commander Zod, General Zod, Im-Zod and Superman, is a character from the DC Comics series.
== Charactah Account ==
General Dru-Zod was a member of the Kryptonian military, exiled to the Phantom Zone by Jor-El after attempting to conquer Krypton. When he escaped years later he targeted Superman and his adopted planet Earth.
Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Zod possesses the same potential powers as an average Kryptonian. Zod is able to maintain continuous strenuous physical action for an indefinite period of time. This based on his body converting yellow solar radiation directly to energy but is limited by physiological and psychological needs to eat, drink, and sleep.
Zod's strength is augmented by yellow solar radiation interacting with the greater than human density, resilience and biological efficiency of his musculature. His strength is more an act of conscious will on energy fields than actual physical strength. It is this act of conscious will that enables him to perform physical feats that are beyond the mere application force, such as moving a mountain top without said rock crumbling under its own mass.

== Trivia ==
* While Zod was always enemies with Jor-El and Superman, his first depiction was simply that of a criminal who attempted to stage a coup so that he can attain leadership, and that Jor-El managed to capture him. Post-Crisis onwards, Zod's relationship with Jor-El and, by extension, Kal-El are a lot more personal as the former two were good friends prior to Krypton's explosion.
* Zod was never a particularly prominent character in his original appearances; only an unremarkable name among the many Phantom Zoners. After the popularity of Superman II, he was upjumped to being the leader of the Phantom Zoners and one of Superman's primary enemies. Prior to this, the de facto leader of the Zoners had been Jax-Ur.
