Here’s the excerpt:

In a world filled with confusion and chaos, it’s refreshing to have a unifying force, a General who can bring people together, albeit, perhaps, by forcing them to kneel before his superior alien intellect. Meet General Zod, the iconic Superman villain from the DC Comics universe, who has captured the hearts and imaginations of fans worldwide. But who is this General, really? Is he simply a mindless dictator, or is there more to his mission to take over Earth?

Born on the planet Krypton, General Zod was a key figure in the ruling class, a member of the Council of Five, and a loyal follower of the Kryptonian code. He was deeply devoted to preserving Kryptonian traditions and culture, which, by the way, is not unlike our own obsession with documenting reality TV shows. According to his own account, Zod’s strong sense of justice and duty were instilled in him from a young age, shaped by his experiences under the tutelage of the Council of Five. Little did he know, these values would eventually be used to justify his brutal campaign to take over a planet not his own. So, you know, typical Tuesday afternoon for a supervillain.

Fast-forward to the events that led to Zod’s exile to the Phantom Zone, where he would spend 1,000 years honing his skills, developing his Kryptonian abilities, and plotting his revenge. As a super-powered being, Zod’s actions were deemed a threat to the stability of Krypton, and he was ultimately sentenced to the Phantom Zone, a Kryptonian prison designed to confine the most fearsome offenders. Seething with anger and resentment, Zod vowed to one day return to Krypton and reclaim the throne, little did he know that his next destination would be Earth.
