| - If you're gonna banish somebody from Krypton, please do us earthlings a favor and send 'em somewhere else. Just when you thought it was safe to visit Mount Rushmore, the diabolical General Zod arrives, fresh from a brief stay in the Phantom Zone. He and his minions of displeasure, the sultry Ursa and the surly Non, did their best to bring the entire Earth to its knees... and pretty much succeeded until Superman showed up. You see, Zod, hailing from Supes' home planet, had the same powers (times three, counting his team). So, while the Kryptonian also known as Clark Kent was having an identity crisis, The Black Outfit Squad was wiping the planet with whatever resistance the humans were putting up. Superman II is a pretty messy movie, stemming back to conflicts between director Richard Donner, the producers, and probably everyone else on that set. As a result, the climax is pretty weak, resulting in some weak ass endings for our baddie buddies here. Zod, however, will rate well on the Mofo Meter regardless. A natural leader, he combines his super-human strength with an intellect to match. Quite a foe for Earth's greatest hero, and casting Terrance Stamp was a stroke of genius. INTELLIGENCE - 8: A leader and strategist, Zod definitely had the brains in his gang and made the most of them. POWER - 10: This guy is as powerful as Superman. As far as I'm concerned, that's a 10. VILENESS - 8: Destruction and terror are just the appetizers to the main course: reshaping Mount Rushmore in his image! Gah! SWAY - 8: Extremely intimidating. It takes a strong personality to make the President quake in his boots. (Well... it should anyway.) PURITY - 8: Driven to make Superman and the entire Earth kneel before him. Very driven. PHYSICAL - 5: As one website described it, Zod dresses like a backup singer for Depeche Mode. At least he's wearing black.
