Biography

Avruskin

It was then that Zod enacted his first plan which was to poison Superman. This saw him having Faora hiring the mercenary La Encantadora to deliver a Kryptonite based microbe into the Man of Steel via a kiss. (Superman: Our Worlds at War Secret Files and Origins v1 #1) La Encantadora was successful at making her delivery with Superman not suspecting that her kiss was anything sinister. (Action Comics v1 #760) Within a few weeks, however, just after Y2K, the poisonous microbe began to take its toll. Superman grew sickly, and even began to glow green as a result of the poisoning. This saw him seeking aid from Batman to help him locate a kidnapped Lois Lane. When they found her, he collapsed from the effort and as a result of the poison. Zod later hired Deathstroke the Terminator to eliminate La Encantadora before she could confess to what she had done. Unfortunately for Zod, Deathstroke failed in his assignment and Encantadora instead helped the rest of Superman's friends to cure him of the infection. (Action Comics v1 #767)

With his plan thwarted, Zod then decided to reformulate his strategy against the Man of Steel. Coinciding with this decision was the public announcement that Lex Luthor was running for President of the United States. General Zod decided he would use this to his advantage, but timing was crucial. While he waited, Zod had Ignition capture Bizarro so that he could be use as a literal punching bag by Zod. (Superman v2 #164) He also used the extracted Kryptonite tumor to create a new lifeform, the homicidal monster known as Kancer. (Action Comics v1 #777)
