General Zod
General Zod is a fictional supervillain appearing in 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. As a Kryptonian, he exhibits the same powers and abilities as Superman and is consequently viewed as one of his greatest enemies alongside Lex Luthor and Brainiac.

Originally depicted as bald and clean-shaven, Zod's look in popular culture was defined by the character's depiction by Terence Stamp in the films "Superman" and "Superman II" starring Christopher Reeve. Eventually, the character was reintroduced to the DC Multiverse with black hair and a goatee beard. This character was portrayed by Michael Shannon in Zack Snyder's film, "Man of Steel", set in the DC Extended Universe.
