[DC] Why does General Zod hate Superman?
gpt
Zod's emotional journey with Superman typically goes something like this in his different iterations:

* Zod is released from the Phantom Zone.  He is initially impressed by Superman and Superman's power.  Superman, for his part, is initially please to be around some other Kryptonians.
* Zod starts to express a different attitude about power than Superman.  Zod operates under a "might makes right" approach.  Zod eventually sees Superman's restraint as weakness and believes their powers are wasted on the weak-willed Kal-El.  It isn't hate so much as disappointment at this point.
* Zod and Superman's philosophical differences inevitably cause them to come into conflict.  Zod's beliefs about Kryptonian superiority lead him to want to 'redeem' Superman and show him how power ought to be used.  Superman refuses.  Zod gives up and decides to see Superman as an obstacle standing in his way that has to be removed.

Typically, Zod doesn't hate Superman, at least not at first.  It's only after Superman repeatedly gets in his way that Zod starts to view him as an enemy, particularly if Superman has returned him to the Phantom Zone.  An exception to this pattern is when Zod has a past with Superman's father that leads to him hating Jor-El's son from the start.
