The origin of Super Villains: General Zod

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Zod

General Dru-Zod is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly in association with Superman. The character, who first appeared in Adventure Comics #283 (April 1961), was created by Robert Bernstein and initially designed by George Papp.[1] As a Kryptonian, he exhibits the same powers and abilities as Superman and is consequently viewed as one of his greatest enemies.

In Superman (1978) and Superman II (1980), Terence Stamp portrayed the character, which Total Film later ranked as #32 on their "Top 50 Greatest Villains Of All Time" list in 2007.[2] Pop-culture website IGN.com ranked General Zod as #30 on their list of the "Top 100 Comic Book Villains", asserting that "Stamp is Zod" (emphasis in original).[3] The character was played by Michael Shannon in Zack Snyder's 2013 film Man of Steel, by Callum Blue in Smallville, and by Mark Gibbon in Supergirl.
