General Zod

General Zod is a Kryptonian, protected from the planet's destruction by being imprisoned within the Phantom Zone at the time. He later escaped and came to Earth to seek revenge against the son of Jor-El, his jailor. Despite being depowered and defeated by Superman, he seems to have survived (although whether he has regained his powers is not made clear) and is continuing his plans for conquest, albeit without the help of his fellow prisoners. He recently launched a series of propaganda videos decrying the Earth tradition of Christmas and its related paraphenalia and customs. In these videos he indicated that while the worship of a magical figure that could fly around the world in one night and grant wishes was not a bad one, that figure should be HIM, not Santa, and that the wishes would only be death. Death to those who do not KNEEEEEEEEEEL! It would seem that, whether or not his powers remain, his ego and hatred of beings considered inferior most certainly do. His first appearance was in "Merry Zodmas: Snowmen" where he decided that the idea of building snowmen was acceptable, but they needed to be improved and made deadlier, in order to serve him.

Appearance
Zod has slicked back hair, a goatee, and a tight, form fitting black outfit. Zod would tell you this, along with his incredible handsomeness, add an air of regality and intimidation. Your mileage may vary on that assessment.
