Faora Hu-Ul and Anissa

Faora-Ul is an infamous Kryptonian war criminal and sub-commander of the Sword of Rao , acting as the right-hand woman of General Dru-Zod , and one of Kal-El 's earliest enemies . Following the destruction of Krypton , Faora and Zod attempted to use the planet Earth to reestablish a new Krypton , but were stopped by Kal-El and sucked into the Phantom Zone . Meanwhile Anissa is a fiercely loyal and uncompromising enforcer of the Viltrum Empire. She embodies the cold, utilitarian values of her people, prioritizing efficiency, order, and long-term survival over empathy or individual freedom. Highly disciplined and emotionally detached, Anissa believes wholeheartedly in the Viltrumite mission to “save” primitive civilizations by bringing them under imperial control. She views human suffering not as a moral issue, but as a failure of leadership, something Viltrumites are destined to correct. When confronting Mark Grayson, Anissa initially attempts a diplomatic approach, using intimidation and logic to sway him. She presents her arguments with calm, assertive confidence, claiming that Viltrumite rule would ultimately benefit Earth by eliminating chaos, poverty, and environmental destruction. However, her sense of superiority and rigid belief in Viltrumite ideology blind her to the emotional and ethical complexities of humanity. She shows frustration when Mark refuses to align with her, interpreting his resistance as weakness or immaturity. Despite her brutal efficiency in combat and willingness to kill when necessary, Anissa does not act out of bloodlust, she fights only to fulfill her mission and sees violence as a tool for enforcing order. Her calculated use of force against Mark and Allen reflects her pragmatism, though she shows hints of personal frustration when her strength is challenged. Still, she maintains composure and never loses sight of her duty. Anissa’s sense of moral detachment, belief in destiny, and disdain for emotional reasoning make her a chilling yet principled threat. Her commitment to the empire is absolute, but beneath the rigid loyalty lies a growing awareness that not everything aligns with the empire’s plans, especially when faced with unexpected resistance from those she underestimates.
