| Synopsis
| - Lex Luthor gathers together several samples of Kryptonite. He has acquired green Kryptonite, red Kryptonite, blue Kryptonite and yellow Kryptonite. He forges them into a special matrix which he infuses into the heart of Metallo.
- This chapter is a two-page spread showcasing various Superman adversaries.
- In the final days of Krypton, Jor-El stands in judgment against three criminals accused of treason; General Zod, Ursa and Non. A leading member of the Kryptonian Science Council harshly criticizes Jor-El's leniency, and he cannot understand why these three have not been sentenced to death. Jor-El reflects upon the events that brought him to his current situation.
It was only a short time ago that Non was one of Krypton's greatest scientific minds, and a mentor to Jor-El. Together, they discovered that Krypton only had ninety days before it would explode. The Kryptonian Science Council refused to listen to such sensationalized analysis and accused them of committing acts of heresy. They sent the military defense officers under the command of General Zod to arrest them. The council let them off with light sentences and warned them against speaking further of Krypton's alleged destruction. Non however, became more active and began holding public forums, warning people of the planet's imminent demise. General Zod and his mate, Ursa, discovered that Jor-El and Non's research was true. They defected from the Kryptonian Defense Council and joined Non's cause. The Science Council captured Non and lobotomized him, turning him into a mute, brute savage. This cowardly and brazen act was the last straw for General Zod. He embarked upon an ambitious campaign to take control of Krypton, if only to save it from itself. He pleaded with Jor-El to join his cause, but Jor-El refuse. Eventually, Zod and his follwers were captured. The Science Council wanted to sentence them to death, but Jor-El convinced them to instead exile the insurrectionists into an alternate dimension known as the Phantom Zone.
At the moment of sentence, Jor-El's reverie is broken when the criminals break free of their bonds and attack their jailers. They kill five members of the Kryptonian Science Council before they are finally brought down. With a heavy heart, Jor-El activates the Phantom Zone Projector, sending Zod, Ursa and Non away from Krypton for all time.
