Ursa is a Kryptonian super-villain who works with General Zod and Non. They were banished to the Phantom Zone for war crimes, allowing them to survive the destruction of Krypton. Eventually they escaped from their prison and tried to enslave humanity, making them enemies to Superman. Her child with Zod is Lor-Zod, raised by Superman as "Chris Kent" to become the hero Nightwing. She has been a member of the Kryptonian Military Guild and the Phantom Zoners.

Ursa was created by Mario Puzo, David Newman, Leslie Newman, Robert Benton, and Tom Mankiewicz, first appearing in the film Superman (1978). Richard Donner, its director, later adapted her for the mainstream DC Universe with Geoff Johns and Adam Kubert in Action Comics #845 (2007).
