| − | The child known as Zed was the son of two Russian astronauts who were part of a Soviet plan to build a spacestation in orbit during the Cold War. The experiment went bad when a meteor shower struck the space station, bombarding it with radiation. Zed's parents survive the destruction of the space station: his mother dies shortly after giving birth to him, his father is left horribly mutilated. The child is taken in by the Soviet authorities and experimented upon. Yellow sunlight makes him very weak, but it's discovered that red sunlight radiation gives him incredible powers. Zed grows up in captivity, allowed to write and receive letters with his father, and grows stronger as he gets older (and is continually bathed in red sunlight). He even trains with the [[KGBeast]]. When he is a young man, he learns about [[Superman (Clark Kent/Kal-El)|Superman]] for the first time. He realizes that Superman is an alien, and that he is not; he realizes that his father has been dead for years and his Soviet masters have been lying to him about that; he soon becomes obsessed with the Man of Steel. He becomes convinced that they are the perfect opposites of one another. Zod believes that when the rocket ship brought Superman to Earth, it was in the same meteor shower that destroyed his ship (this is neither explicitly confirmed nor denied). Finally, one day while in meditation, his mind is contacted by the soul of a being who hates Superman as much as he has grown to--a man named [[General Zod (Pocket Dimension)|Zod]]. Zed decides he will take this man's name and under it will he defeat Superman.<ref>''Action Comics'' #803</ref> |

||
| − | Zod eventually is able to build a suit of red armor that filters the sunlight, allowing him to travel and retain his incredible powers. At some point before the new millenium, Zod managed to seize control of the former Soviet sattelite state of [[Pokolistan]]. He eventually brought to him [[Faora]] and [[Ignition]] to be his loyal lieutenants and began a long scheming plan to destroy Superman and conquer the world. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Zod's first plan was to poison Superman. He had Zaora hired the mercenary [[La Encantadora]] to deliver a [[Kryptonite]] based mircrobe into the Man of Steel via a kiss.<ref>''Our Worlds At War: Secret Files and Origins'' #1</ref> La Encantadora was successful at making her delivery, and Superman did not suspect that her kiss was anything sinister.<ref>''Action Comics'' #760</ref> Within a few weeks, however, just after [[Y2K]], the poisonous microbe began to take its toll. Superman grew sickly, and even began to glow green. He needed [[Batman]] to help him locate a kidnapped [[Lois Lane]] and when they found her, he collapsed from the effort. Zod hired [[Deathstroke]] the Terminator to eliminate [[La Encantadora]] before she could confess to what she had done. Unfortunatley for Zod, Deathstroke failed, and Dora's helped the rest of Superman's friends to cure him of the infection.<ref>''Action Comics'' #766-767</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Zod then decided to reformulate his plans. Coinciding with this decision was the public announcement that [[Lex Luthor]] was running for [[President of the United States]]. Zod decided he would use this to his advantage--but timing was crucial. While he waited, Zod had Ignition capture [[Bizarro]] so that he could be used as a punching bag by Zod.<ref>''Superman'' #164</ref> He also used the extracted kryptonite tumor to create a new lifeform, the homicidal monster known as [[Kancer]].<ref>''Action Comics'' #777</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the political arena, Zod was the unknown, unidentified dicator of Pokolistan. When he was certain that Superman knew that he was responsible for the poisoning and for Kancer, he ordered his army to attack two of his neighboring countries (and eventually pressed into Berlin as well). He did so knowing that Superman would come. The Man of Steel was right on cue, and he battled Ignition, Kancer, and Faora alongside [[Superboy (Kon-El)|Superboy]], [[Supergirl (Linda Danvers)|Supergirl]], and [[Kelex]] until Zod himself showed up. Sucker punching Superman from behind, he struck the Kryptonian so hard it actually broke his jaw. After Superman was patched up, he returned to have a word with the general, at which time his identity was revealed as Zod--although Superman did not know his history, so was confused as to who this "Zod" could be. Their battle was interrupted, however, by the coming of [[Imperiex]], Destroyer of Galaxies.<ref>''Action Comics'' #779-780</ref> |
