I went by DC comics lore in most universes where Dru-Zod betrayed the Kryptonian high Council. In the Prime Earth universe he's also a genocidal war criminal. &gt;.&gt;<br/><br/>It's looking like Kara's curse will be her memories.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I am, indeed, joking. In this universe, Dru Zod did indeed stage a coup against the Kryptonian High Council. It came in the aftermath of Jor El's research showing the impending doom of Krypton being censored and Jor El disgraced by the High Council, who published their own findings that basically amounted to "everything's going to be okay, forever!" Dru Zod believed in Jor El, because even though the two were not friends Dru Zod trusted in Jor El's integrity and dedication to science and scientific truth. He aimed to seize power and divert all necessary resources to a plan Jor El developed to save Krypton. However Dru Zod's coup failed, and he and his inner circle were banished to the Phantom Zone for their crimes. The High Council continued to stick their heads in the sand and do nothing, and Krypton was destroyed leaving limited survivors and poisonous debris of multiple hues.<br/><br/>Dru Zod and others would see the coup as an act of patriotism against a reticent, cowardly government that was not acting in good faith or the best interests of its peoples. But even if Dru Zod was going to make himself God-Emperor Zod of Krypton for all eternity it was not all jack boots and tyranny and demands that everyone kneel down before him.<br/><br/>The notion that Dru Zod is a genocidal war criminal is a difficult one to tackle, because it pre-supposes the existence of treaties that lay down intergalactic rules of war that Krypton and other stellar powers would be signatories to and that there were, in fact, wars. So even if Krypton acknowledged interstellar law that established war crimes, how could there be war crimes when there had not been any wars?<br/><br/>(again I'm being partially facetious here - Dru Zod is a genocidal killer who would kill all humans if it resulted in some net positive for Kryptonians)<br/><br/>Kara probably may not have all of the nuance of the situation but she is not really wrong.<br/><br/>And Lor definitely should have to confront and deal with the sins of his father when it comes to interacting with others and especially with Kara.
