Non is a mute Kryptonian criminal and ally of General Zod and Ursa who was imprisoned alongside them in the Phantom Zone following a failed coup against Krypton's government.
They battle Superman before he eventually depowers them with red sunlight and imprisons them in the Fortress of Solitude.
This version is a former member of Krypton's Science Council and friend of Jor-El who was captured and lobotomized after leading a separatist movement.
Non possesses the average abilities of a Kryptonian, including superhuman strength, speed, flight, super-vision, and super-hearing.
However, he is vulnerable to Kryptonite and red sun radiation, and can be exploited due to his low intelligence.
