History[]
Faora served General Zod as a chief lieutenant during their intergalactic wars and despite her very good nature and her heroic traits, she was infact a very loyal servant of Zod and The Galactic Council. One day, The Council have created a genetic template named Superman. However, due to fear from his human genes spreading humanity across the galaxy through his sex, The Council ordered Zod and his enforcers to capture and terminate Superman. Faora tried to convince The Council that Superman has lots of goodness in him, but Zod and The Council didn't care about it at all, as they have continued plotting to kill Superman anyway. Faora is later sent with Zod and their fellow bounty hunter Nam-Ek to find and terminate Superman. Zod was obsessed with completing his tasks in order to become an intergalactic hero and role model. However, Faora secretly planned with Superman's adoptive mother Martha Kent to save the genetically created superhero. Faora first came with Zod and Nam-Ek to invade Martha's house, as she felt she had no choice yet and her loyalty to Zod wasn't exactly finished in that moment. However, when Zod ordered her to shoot Superman for not being afraid of "the monsters", Faora refused, and in that moment Zod's relationship with Faora became sour. Zod started seeing Faora as a traitor, and he shot her a warning shot so that next time she would obey him.
Faora took Martha away from the house to a nearby field under Zod's orders. Before Zod reached the field, however, Martha asked Faora why she is in on their scheme, and Faora revealed that she secretly has different plans then Zod and that she intends to secretly save Superman's life.
Zod comes and then kills Martha, as he then turns to Faora and orders her to find Superman and rectify her mistakes to prove she isn't a traitor.
Faora agreed, but she still secretly planned on saving Superman rather then killing him. She later found Superman (who now has the human name Clark Kent) and she told him that she isn't going to hurt him. She told Superman the truth about his past; he was a genetic template created by alien scientists working for The Galactic Council, and they feared that he would spread humanity across the globe so they've sent Zod to kill him and prevent humanity all over the universe.
Faora revealed that Luthor is now intending to make a bargain with Zod and Nam-Ek as the three of them plot to capture Superman and his allies so that Luthor could stab him with kryptonite and finish him. Faora then suggested Superman and Lois Lane (who earlier betrayed Lex Luthor because she didn't want to cause genocide to the aliens) that the three of them hide in an abandoned basement so that Zod won't find them. They hide there for a while, and Faora's plans to protect Superman and humanity are successful until the moment in which Zod and Nam-Ek find the basement and start searching in it. Faora tells Clark and Lois to run away to a far away place and keep away from Zod and his minions. After the two ran off, Zod entered the basement's room together with Nam-Ek. General Zod asked Faora if he is wrong about his feeling that she is a traitor who is now protecting humanity from him behind his back. Faora replies to him that she is standing right between him and the humans, and that she won't let him harm anyone as long as she's here. Zod orders Nam-Ek to kill her, but she easily overpowers him. Zod then fights her and eventually he overpowers her and manages to shock her with his taser, thus carrying her while she is unconscious to Luthor's office in the Lexcorp facility. Luthor's henchmen Leo Quintum also handles Superman by paralysing him with kryptonite and he brings Lois and Superman to Luthor.
Faora and Lois are held hostage and are also forced by Zod to watch through the window as Luthor tortures Superman with kryptonite and then stabs the superhero to death. Lois and Faora however overpower Zod and they manage to kill Nam-Ek and Quintum. After Lois shoots Lex Luthor, Faora enters the scene as the three reunite. Faora tells Superman and Lois to escape while they still can, but Superman volunteers to fight against Zod instead of Faora, for her safety. Thereafter, Superman stays to fight General Zod, as Faora escapes as she watches over Lois.
