Before Superman crossed paths with Doomsday, the monster took out several Green Lanterns—superheroes who transfer power through rings—in the comic books.

One such attempt involved Zod and other prisoners projecting their thoughts to Jor-El, hoping to influence him into releasing them. Later the Phantom Zone was destroyed, releasing all its prisoners on Earth. Zod unleashed destruction on Washington, D.
