Biography
Rogol Zaar
Thus, he came to be the last member of his race who was full of rage that made him a perfect recruit for the Circle. This was a group consisting of key figures of various worlds whose ranks included Appa Ali Apsa of Oa, Sardath of Rann, the Thanagarian Defence Minister, King Myand'r of Tamaran and Empress Gandelo of the Fourteen Suns. They were a secret and powerful union where Ganeldo wanted to be proactive in the elimination of worlds that were a threat to the universe. In Rogol Zaar, they came to find an agent to act on their behalf though he came to be defiant and unpredictable. (Supergirl v7 #29)
Many years ago, he came to assist the Thanagarians during a skirmish against Tamaranean forces over planet Planet 497. Zaar's mere presence was enough to have King Myand'r to issue a retreat. (Superman v5 #2)
Meeting the Circle, he swore vengeance against Krypton for destroying his world where he met with Gandelo in secret where she offered him the chance to achieve his goal. In exchange for his devotion to her cause, Rogol Zaar was provided a device stolen and reverse engineered from Zor-El that was to be used to destroy the planet. (Supergirl v7 #29)
He later went to a bar located in the far end of the Vega System where he had a drink when he noticed a relic tied to a figure called Superman. From this, he came to learn that a single survivor of Krypton existed on the planet Earth and headed to that world. (The Man of Steel v2 #2)
Taking Zaar into orbit, Superman fought the alien with their fight leading them to the Moon. Despite his anger, the Man of Steel came to be defeat by Rogol Zaar who left the injured Kryptonian unconscious as he made his way back to Earth to continue his revenge. (The Man of Steel v2 #5)
Trapped within the Zone, he would encounter another fallen legacy of the House of El with this being the Nuclear Man. The two battled with Rogol Zaar killing his opponent whereupon he plotted for a means to return to the material universe to continue his quest for revenge. For such a task, he decided that he needed to gather an army to aid him. (Superman v5 #2) He began by starting a fire within the Phantom Zone that came to attract one of the denizens there which was the exiled Kryptonian criminal Jax-Ur. Zaar would reveal that Earth had been pulled into the Phantom Zone whereupon Jax-Ur had dispatched his allies to attack and kill Rogol. However, Zaar ended up subduing his attackers rather than killing them as he wanted to recruit them into his army. He then forged an alliance with Jax-Ur where the two would work together to escape the Phantom Zone and get their revenge on the House of El. Their plan involved going to Earth to take the Phantom Zone Projector in order to free themselves. (Superman v5 #3) Arriving at the head of his army, they arrived on Earth where they were confronted by Superman leading to another battle against the son of Jor-El. (Superman v5 #4)
