HISTORY

A small, war-like nation in Eastern Europe, ruled by the ruthless General Zod, and protected by his superhuman guardsmen, Faora, Ignition, and Kancer. Zod made a deal with President Lex Luthor, giving Luthor his resources to battle Imperiex and Brainiac 13 in return for his regime in Pokolistan to be officially recognized. However, in time, Zod betrayed Luthor and launched an attack which was ultimately defeated by Superman, ending in Zod's death and an uncertain future for the nation of Pokolistan.
