Superman [Clark Kent]; Phantom Zone criminals [General Dru-Zod (also as the Commandant); Faora Hu-Ul (also as Mrs. Simpson); Tyb-Ol (killed); Murkk (killed); Jax-Ur; Professor Va-Kox; three other unnamed prisoners]; the Vrangs [unnamed leader; Lylk; Bujy] (all killed); Lois Lane; Perry White; Jimmy Olsen; Lana Lang; the White Wildcats [led by Sonny Chilwa]; Myrna (cameo); Supergirl [Kara Zor-El](in flashback); Zor-El (in flashback); Allura Zor-El (in flashback); Val-Lor (in flashback)
A group of Vrangs, an alien race that were ancient enemies of Krypton, happen upon a dead city floating in space. They discover that it is Argo City, which originated from the planet Krypton, and that two Kryptonians (Superman and Supergirl) survive on Earth. The Vrangs head to Earth, determined to kill the last of their people's enemies. The Phantom Zone prisoners witness these events and locate a piece of jewel kryptonite which enables four to escape from the Zone. Superman and the prisoners form a temporary truce so that they can battle the Vrangs together.
