10 Most Brutal Fights In Superman Comics
7. General Zod And Faora
The megalomaniac General Zod is one of Superman's deadliest foes due to his own formidable Kryptonian abilities, combat proficiency, and savagery. Together with his right-hand woman, Faora, the alien warlord has given the Man of Tomorrow numerous challenges over the years.
One particularly intense fight took place in the New 52's Superman/Wonder Woman comics series - an arc that brought together the heroes and explored their romantic and heroic dynamic as a couple. Wonder Woman was sent in by the Justice League to help Superman take on the alien duo and the ensuing battle is a notable example of how dangerous trained Kryptonians are, but also highlighted Diana's own ferocity and might.
The Amazon more than held her own against the alien warriors and did particularly well, even more so than Superman. In the not-so Last Son of Krypton's defense, he was mostly occupied with containing the damage caused by Zod and Faora and despite his lack of training, managed to get in a few good blows alongside his teammate and paramour.
Their rematch in the next issue is just as brutal and proves to be a hard-fought victory for the heroes despite their newly acquired weaponry meant to level the playing field against their foes.
