Dru-Zod

## Powers & Abilities

* **Kryptonian Physiology**: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Zod possesses the same potential powers as an average Kryptonian. These include:
	+ ***Solar Energy Absorption***: Under optimal conditions, this is the main source of Zod's super powers as they are contingent upon exposure to solar radiation from a yellow sun star system. His biological make up includes a number of organs which lack analogues in humans and whose functions are unknown. It is believed that between one or more of these and his bio-cellular matrix, "yellow" solar energy is stored for later use. This allows for the use of these powers to fade when yellow solar radiation is not available instead of immediate failure.
	+ ***Superhuman Strength***: 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.
	+ ***Superhuman Speed***: Zod is able to move at incredible speed by sheer force of will. This extends to his perceptions and allows for feats such as catching bullets in mid flight as well as covering vast distances in little or no time.
	+ ***Superhuman Stamina***: 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.
	+ ***Superhuman Senses***
		- ***Superhuman Hearing***: Zod's hearing is sensitive enough to hear any sound at any volume or pitch. With skill & concentration, he can block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source or frequency.
		- ***Electromagnetic Spectrum Vision***: Zod can see well into most of the electromagnetic spectrum. He can see and identify radio and television signals as well as all other broadcast or transmitted frequencies.
		- ***Infrared Vision***: Zod can see with better acuity in darkness, and to a degree in total darkness.
		- ***Microscopic Vision***: He possesses the ability to see extremely small objects & images down to the atomic level.
		- ***Telescopic Vision***: He can see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics. Though limited, the exact extent of the ability is undetermined. In function, it is similar to the zoom lens on a camera.
		- ***X-Ray Vision***: Zod is able to see through any volume of matter except lead. He can see things behind a solid, opaque object as if it were not there. He can focus this ability to "peel back" layers of an object, allowing hidden image or inner workings to be observed.
	+ ***Flight***: Zod is able to manipulate graviton particles to defy the forces of gravity and achieve flight. This ranges from hovering to moving in any posture, in any direction.
	+ ***Heat Vision***: Zod can, as a conscious act, fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it. He can vary the heat and area affected.
	+ ***Invulnerability***: Due to the interaction of his dense molecular structure and supercharged bio-electric aura, Zod is nigh-invulnerable to extreme energy forces. In addition, his extends this protection against toxins and diseases.
	+ ***Longevity***: Zod can live longer than regular humans, remaining at his prime as long as he was under the exposure of the "yellow" sun.
	+ ***Super-Breath***: Zod is able to create hurricane force winds by exhaling air from his lungs. He can chill the air as it leaves his lungs to freeze targets. He can also reverse the process to pull large volumes of air or vapor into his lungs.

* **Hand to Hand Combat**: General Zod has trained in the ways of combat for many years. He has fought creatures twice his size and armored men with only his hands. He is a trained soldier and is not above killing.
* **Multilingualism**: Zod can speak fluent Kryptonian & English.
* **Science**: Ever since Zod was a child he was trained to have an analytic mind, growing and raising small genetic animals. He used this knowledge to fool Krypton into a war.
* **Survival**: When Zod was a child, his parents were killed on a scientific expedition into Krypton's wilderness. He was forced to survive on his own for a year before being rescued.
* **Weaponry**: Zod is as trained with his fists as he is with weapons. He used primitive bows & arrows as a child, small arms as a soldier and various other Kryptonian weapons throughout his military career.
