OneSupermanenemy may have a passably straightforward story in theDCEU , but the foeman ’s continuity   in the comedian is another issue . Two grapheme model after General Zod ’s proper - hired hand woman , Faora - Ul , both apparently exist in the same space , create quite the continuity headache .

WhileMan of Steelconsiderably raise her profile , Faora ’s first appearance date all the direction back to the ' 70s when she appeared inactiveness Comics . A brutal serial slayer on Krypton , Faora was sentenced to exile in the Phantom Zone where she converge other Kryptonian criminal like General Zod . While she was a recurring Superman antagonist , she was replaced inSuperman ' 78’smovie timelineby a similar graphic symbol known as Ursa . In DC ’s Post - Crisis continuity , Ursa was bring in as a full - fledged character while Faora was removed from continuity altogether . In fact , it was n’t untilMan of Steelbrought her back that   Faora finally accomplish some extrusion decades after being cast aside .

Faora ’s picture visual aspect did her well because simply calendar month after she appeared on the silver gray screenland , the baddie found herself returned to strip in the pages ofAction Comics # 23.2by Greg Pak and Ken Lashley .   Much like how she was represent inMan of Steel , Faora is demo as aSuperman scoundrel along with General Zod , and is testify to be one of the malefic Kryptonian ’s adult sympathizers . While the new rendering of Zod would take up his role as a recurring foe , Faora disappear once more after being briefly featured in aSuperman / Wonder Womanarc . curtly after Faora choke missing , Superman encountered a familiar face in the Phantom Zone inAction Comics # 984by Dan Jurgens and Patrick Zircher . But as Superman incur out , this was Ursa , who definitively declared herself as " the wife of Zod " and " Mother of his son . "

true , the back and forth is a bit puzzling , as it seems there aretwo like Superman villainswho basically serve the same purpose , occupying the same post - Flashpointuniverse . And while it would n’t be the first clip there ’s been a persistence snafu , it definitely raises the question of why DC ca n’t seem to make up one’s mind on which version to stay with . Ursa may have won the fight for now , but is Faora waiting in the wings to reclaim her sure-enough spot ?

In all honesty , it ’s unconvincing that   Faora will be reappear anytime presently because even though the DCEU help fetch her back to the public consciousness , it ’s been close to a decennium sinceMan of Steel’srelease . Not to mention GeneralZod has a sonwith Ursa , which just gift her a bit more relevance than a fictitious character whose appearances have been sporadic at best . Maybe it ’s not fair that Ursa got decade ' Charles Frederick Worth of pic via moving-picture show appearances , but Faora would n’t be the first character to be replaced by a more pop version . While it seems the government issue has mostly been settled by simply ignoring Faora , there ’s always a prospect ,   no matter how slim , that theDCEUvillain could return to vexSupermansometime in the future .
