| Dru-Zod was the son of Kyptonian scientists. One day, his family took on a scientific expedition to Krypton's wilderness where they were attacked by dangerous animals. After his mother was killed, Zod's father urged his son to escape. He does so, killing his father in the process to distract the creatures and give himself time to flee. For over a year, Zod managed to survive on his own until being found and rescued by Jor-El and Zor-El. |
| By adulthood, Zod became a distinguished soldier in the Kryptonian military and became concerned with Krypton's violent neighbouring alien species, the Char. Although the Char had remained pacified for the last twenty-seven years, Zod was frustrated by his fellow Kryptonians' lax attitude towards them. In response, he forged a group of like-minded followers, such as his lieutenants Faora and Non, and engineered a false flag operation, creating and unleashing a Char-like creature on Krypton's populace to justify a war against the Char. However, Jor-El discovered Zod's deception and turned him over to the authorities. The Kryptonian Science Council found Zod guilty of treason and sentenced him and his followers to be exiled to the Phantom Zone. |
| But being thrown in the Phantom Zone would not mean the end of Zod's villainy. During their time within the Zone, Zod and Faora became acquainted with the Warworld, a humongous alien war machine and planned to use its endless armies to conquer the outside worlds. Their plan also involved the Kryptonian monster known as Doomsday, also a prisoner within the Zone. Zod and Faora released the beast from his captivity and threw him across the boundaries of the Phantom Zone, weakening them and allowing for their eventual escape. |
