Revised History of the DCU: Bonus (Superman related)
So, here’s a little extra, a storyline I came up with using some of the ideas from my take on Krypton...
It begins after Superman's first encounter with kryptonite, when he asks Green Lantern to head out to what's left of the Rao system and destroy any of the stuff he finds there. While doing so, GL stumbles on a Kryptonian STL spaceship carrying three surviving Kryptonians in suspended animation. Naturally, GL brings it back to Superman. Supes, who at this point knows next to nothing about his heritage, is naturally curious. He gives the ship ot STAR Labs, who figure out how to wake the three, and do so, not knowing that they are in fact, the infamous terrorist-leaders Mala, Uban, and Kizo. At first, the Evil Three play it cool, buttering Supes up while they scope things out, trying to get him on their side as they prepare to take over the planet. Fortunately, Supes manages to see through them. Also, since they're more demagogues then fighters, he's able to take on all three of them, forcing them back into the ship and it's stasis field, which he then launches back into space. Of course, in doing so, he kinda wrecks the STAR Labs facility were the ship was being held. Feeling guilty, he gives them the ship that brought him to Earth. While examining it, the STAR scientists discover that, being somewhat jury-rigged, a number of parts had been cannibalized from another machine, which they manage to reassemble. It turns out to be a Phantom Zone projector, and they accidentally release Ursa, who in turn frees General Zod and Non-Ek. Dru-Zod sets out to kill Superman in revenge for what the General perceives as his father's betrayal; his loyal lieutenants go along with this, albeit reluctantly. This proves to be a harder fight, but between Ursa and Non-Ek's reticence and some help from his superhero friends, Clark is able to prevail and send the General and his aides back to the Zone. Unfortunately, it turns out that when the STAR Labs guys deactivated the stasis field on the Evil Three's ship, they screwed it up, so it didn't quite work right. Thus, the Evil Three were aware of what was going on below them, and are eventually able to escape. Upon doing so, rather than try to go it alone again, they swipe the PZ projector and free their master, Jax-Ur, who has spent his years of captivity reviewing how his mind-altering machine went wrong and perfecting the design. With the help of the brothers, he builds a device that allows him to take control of his "Seeds", which he promptly releases from the Zone. So, now we have the Kryptonian equivalent of Lex Luthor, leading an army of several hundred Kryptonians, all of whom are varying degrees of crazy, and many of whom are also geniuses. Obviously, this is a serious problem, such that Superman has no choice but to enlist the aide of General Zod and Lex himself to stop them...
