It was this revival that allowed Zod to impersonate 'The Blur' to Lois, kill his wife Faora and their unborn baby, and get the remaining Kryptonians on his side against Clark. When Clark and Zod next met each other, Zod made it clear that he and his soldiers wanted their Kryptonian powers, but Clark firmly reminded Zod that Earth was not another Krypton.

Since clone and original are now merged, it is unknown how powerful Zod will be under a yellow sun. This article is about "General Zod" and his genetic clone "Major Zod". Finally, Brainiac was defeated by the combined forces of the entire Superman Family, Zod and the Kryptonians, the Legion of Super-Heroes, and the betrayal of Lex Luthor (revealed to a robot double of him, while the real Luthor was on Earth in league with Sam Lane).
