Kryptonian refugee Karsta Wor-Ul recounted her origin to Superman in Superman #669. In panel 6 on page 6, she says, "I'm Karsta Wor-Ul, from the Ansomlands. I was Sub-Command Third under Dru-Zod, one of the proud and strong. I did peacekeeping duty on the possession worlds."
Superman asked, "Zod? Was that General Zod?"
Karsta continues, "Glasslords, no. Dru-Zod was an admiral. Stellar Navy all the way. It was generations ago, at the height of the Kryptonian Empire."
It is reasonable to assume that Admiral Dru-Zod is the son or other close relative of Military Council leader Har-Zod.
Admiral Dru-Zod's ship, the Doomsday, crashed in Texas in the late 1600s. Centuries later, the ship was dug up by Lex Luthor and used in an attempt to destroy Superman.
