Antje Traue Faora from Man of Steel

 

In the 2013 feature film Man of Steel, Sub-Commander Faora-Ul is portrayed by German actress Antje Traue. In the film, she is Zod's lieutenant, and is sentenced to 300 cycles in the Phantom Zone along with the Zod and his forces. After Krypton's destruction, Faora and the other prisoners are freed from the Phantom Zone, and search for Kal-El and the Codex, a device containing the genetic code for all future Kryptonians, which were able to escape the planet's destruction due to Jor-El's last-minute actions. After finding him on Earth, Faora is responsible for bringing Kal-El and Lois Lane aboard Zod's ship.  After they escape, Faora and another powerful Kryptonian grunt (speculated to be the Kryptonian "Non" although his name is never confirmed in the film) confront Kal-El and the U.S. Military in Smallville, but are defeated because Kal-El is better adapted to Earth's environment. After Zod begins terraforming the Earth with a world engine retrieved from a Kryptonian Colony that they visited before arriving to Earth, Faora and all the other Kryptonians (except Zod) are sent back to the Phantom Zone after the ship that brought Kal-El to Earth is re-purposed into a strike weapon.  As in the comics, Faora is a major threat to Kal-El in hand-to-hand combat, outfighting him easily at first. However Kal-El is able to hold his own against the duo, since the the two Kryptonians have yet to attain heat vision and flight.
