Dru-Zod was a Kryptonian General, the Commanding Officer of the Kryptonian Warrior Guild, being in charge of the entire planet's forces. He was genetically engineered as a commanding leader and fierce warrior, one in a long line of warriors, all of whom served in Krypton's military. Zod was fiercely devoted to his duty and his people, but, sadly, at the expense of other races, which he deemed inferior. He later tried to terraform Earth to recreate Krypton, but was ultimately stopped by Kal-El.
