D'ru Z'od (Earth-8150)

"Look at this. We could have built a new Skrullos in this squalor, but you choose the humans over us. I exist only to protect Skrullos. That is the sole purpose for which I was born, and every action I take, no matter how violent or how cruel, is for the greater good of my people. And now, I have no people. My soul—that is what you have taken from me!"

- - General Z'od

General D'ru Z'od was a Skrull military commander turned war criminal and terrorist, responsible for starting the Skrullos Civil War under the banner of his faction, the Sword of Rao, in an effort to start a coup in Skrullos. Sentenced to spend the rest of his life on the Phantom Zone, Z'od and his soldiers were able to survive Krypton's destruction, and, after their return, D'ru saw the chance to reestablish his planet elsewhere, on Earth, which pitted him against Superman in a devastating battle.
