You and I, General, we're alike I think. In a few ways. Truth be told, you were one of the first to see what I see in Superman. You and I have our own x-ray vision.

Synopsis for "New Krypton Part (IV of X) - Beyond Doomsday"
In New York City, two Kandorians wander the streets observing life on Earth. Unlike other Kandorians, these two (Gor and Mur) cannot understand why Kal-El venerates this culture so much. They recall the promises made to them by General Zod to protect them so many years ago, and clearly they still admire the General to this day.
Elsewhere, General Sam Lane gets Lex Luthor out of prison. He needs his assistance in developing defense protocols should the Kryptonians prove to be adversarial. He shows Luthor how the military managed to capture Brainiac shortly before the emergence of "New Krypton".
In Washington, the Kryptonian delegation is interrupted by the surprise arrival of Doomsday. Doomsday would difficulty enough tackling Superman in hand-to-hand combat, but now, he has dozens of empowered Kryptonians to contend with. They dogpile on top of Doomsday and fly him to Earth's moon where they deal him a crippling blow, seemingly killing him.
Later, Gor and Mur go to the Fortress of Solitude. They continue speaking unfavorably of Superman and plan on using the Phantom Zone Projector to free General Zod from the Phantom Zone. They soon find their paths barred by two costumed Kandorians calling themselves Nightwing and Flamebird.
