General Zod is one of the non-playable characters in LEGO Dimensions, from the DC Comics franchise.
Background[]
Dru-Zod was the commander-in-chief of the Kryptonian military. However, he attempted to lead an insurrection against the Kryptonian Council, which failed and led to his defeat. His sentence was carried out by Jor-El, a chief scientist of the planet of Krypton, and it was unanimously decided that he should be trapped within the Phantom Zone, a dimension of pure madness, alongside his co-conspirators Ursa and Non.
Years later, he was able to escape the Phantom Zone after fathering a child with Ursa named Lor-Zod, who they sent to Earth. While Lor-Zod was taken in by Lois Lane and Clark Kent and named Christopher Kent, General Zod, and his cohorts invaded Superman's Fortress of Solitude. Eventually, Ursa was able to track Christopher down while Zod and Non fought Superman. Ultimately, Zod revealed that his plan all along was to create a New Krypton on Earth as dozens of his fellow Zoners fell from the sky. Zod maintained a brief hold on Earth after trapping Superman in the Phantom Zone, but quickly lost control after the Man of Steel broke out and sided with Lex Luthor against the general's forces. Ultimately, Zod's own son undid his plan, and they were both sent back to the Phantom Zone along with the other escapees.
Zod would return when his idea of New Krypton was achieved, albeit under a more positive light. His animosity towards Superman was kept in check as he was once again put in charge of the military forces. However, the collector of worlds known as Brainiac was able to discover this "New Krypton" and attempted to assimilate it; Zod was unsuccessful in trying to drive Brainiac back, and swore vengeance upon Superman, leading the survivors of New Krypton in a 100-minute war against Earth's defenses. Once again, Zod's arrogance got the better of him and Christopher, who had somehow managed to escape the Phantom Zone and assume the identity of Nightwing, sent Zod back to the Zone once again.
Dimensional Crisis[]
Employed by Lord Vortech, Zod was instructed to steal the P.K.E. Meter from the Ghostbusters dimension, but most likely on his own terms, plans to turn the dimension into New Krypton.

- In the game, he is voiced by Nolan North.
- North previously voiced Zod in Injustice: Gods Among Us.
