General Zod

"I will return to Krypton, and this world will fall under my rule."

"You are not alone, Kal-El. You have a choice—join me, and together we will reshape this world."

"A son of Krypton should not bow to anyone."

"This world will kneel before me."

"I have spent my entire life preparing for this moment."

"Your weakness is not your body, Kal-El. It is your heart."

"I was bred and trained to be a warrior. It is all I know."

"You have the power to rule this world, yet you choose to serve it."

"This planet will become the new Krypton."

"I am honor. I am power. I am unstoppable."

"You cannot stop me, Superman. I am your equal."

"Knowledge is the greatest power, and I possess it."

"This world was made to be conquered."

"I will not fail. Failure is not an option for one like me."

"Every soldier knows the cost of war. I embrace it."

"Your mother taught you mercy. I will teach you strength."

"Kneel before Zod!"

"I remember every moment of my existence with perfect clarity."

"You are Kryptonian. Act like it."

"This world has no place for sentimentality."

"I have devoted my life to one purpose—the restoration of Krypton."

"Your kind has proven weak. I will make them strong."

"I do not ask for permission. I take what is mine."

"This species fears what it cannot control. How fitting."

"I am the last of a warrior race. This world should tremble."

"You were given a gift, Kal-El. Do not waste it on mercy."

"I will remake this world in the image of Krypton."

"Every soldier under my command knows discipline and strength."

"You speak of hope as if it were a virtue. It is a weakness."

"I have conquered planets. Earth is merely another conquest."
