The primary antagonist in Man of Steel is General Zod, portrayed by Michael Shannon. He is a Kryptonian military leader who seeks to terraform Earth into a new Krypton.
While Zod is the main villain, other characters contribute to the conflict:
- Faora-Ul: Zod's right-hand woman and a formidable Kryptonian warrior. She is ruthless and dedicated to Zod's cause.
- Nam-Ek: Another Kryptonian soldier who serves Zod. He is depicted as a powerful and loyal follower.
While these characters are antagonists, they are not necessarily "bad girls" in the traditional sense. Their actions are driven by their belief in Kryptonian supremacy and their desire to rebuild their lost home.
