Zi-Kree is a native of the planet Krypton.
Background Information[]
Zi-Kree was banished to the Phantom Zone by Jor-El.
In time however, Zi-Kree escaped and comes to earth for revenge against Jor-El's son. He starts by sneaking into the Fortress of Solitude while Superman is busy on a mission. Zi-Kree is able to use the Fortress to cause the Sun to red, thus stripping Superman (and all Kryptonians) of his super-powers (except Zi-Kree, who was protected by the Fortress). Superman, with the help of Aquaman and Green Lantern are able to defeat Zi-Kree and send him back to the Phantom Zone.
