Biography
Origin
Lor-Zod was a male Kryptonian offspring of General Zod and his Lieutenant Ursa. (Action Comics v1 #846)
The arrival of Lor-Zod on Earth allowed for a tear in reality through which Zod, Ursa and Non arrived on Earth. (Action Comics v1 #845)
Whilst at school, he was asked to not use his abilities but struggled to engage in human activities leading to the other children laughing at him. As a result, the six year old Christopher during school time would sneak away and fly in the clouds where he indulged in the use of his abilities. He was caught by his adoptive father Superman who wanted Chris to live a life more akin to a normal human. Thus, he had Chris follow him to Gotham City where they went to the Batcave. Superman asked Batman to develop a watch-scale Red Sun radiation projector that could be used to suppress Chris Kent's powers in order to allow him to live like a human being. Whilst waiting, Chris met with Robin Tim Drake where he forged a close friendship with the Boy Wonder after being amazed at his acrobatic and physical skills. Chris later helped his foster father during an incident at a bridge. (Superman v1 #668)

Films
- In Justice League: Gods and Monsters, a character featured that was the son of Zod in a parallel alternate world. On this Earth, General Zod took over his homeworld of Krypton and began mining the core to power his military with this act destabilizing his world causing imminent destruction. He later discovered that the scientist Jor-El had constructed a rocket ship that contained an incubation chamber with his wife Lara's egg that only needed a male donor. Jor-El intended to imprint his genetic material on the egg but Zod's forces apprehended him. Though Krypton was doomed, General Zod decided to imprint his own DNA onto Lara's egg creating a child that was the son of Zod and Lara. The ship was later launched into space where the newborn emerged on Earth where a couple of Mexican immigrants found the boy before he could be taken by the United States military. This child grew up as Hernan Guerra who learnt harsh lessons from the way immigrants were treated in America and as an adult he became the harsh hero known as Superman who went about defending the world regardless of the cost. It was said that Hernan encountered the vampiric Batman Kirk Langstrom by the harbor where he was feeding on a rat with Superman helping him leading to a friendship between the two. Afterwards, the pair were joined by the New God Bekka who became this world's Wonder Woman.
