I think I've reread that run like 2 or 3 times and still have no memory of what the deal was with that. But I think you're right, it was supposed to be something with the Return to Krypton arc, but that was almost immediately abandoned if I remember correctly for the pseudo-Russian angle.

Zod was a while back, so forgive me if I don't remember the whole thing. Ignition was definitely Zod's boy from the beginning, and the gag there was that (as a young man) Zod had found him and rescued him, so despite the fact that he was infinitely more powerful than Zod, Ignition was loyal to him. Eventually, the loyalty would have been eroded, of course!But my original take for Zod was not the cosmonaut's son business. (Even though I do like the symmetry of it) He was going to be Kal-El from the Silver Age Krypton (which we had always intended to be real) [Ed Note: Another crossover during Kelly's run on the title involved a visit by Clark and Lois to Silver Age Krypton] corrupted by the Zod whom Superman "executed." I wanted Superman to suffer for that violation of his own principles, and giving him an "evil twin" who had been tainted because of Superman's fall from grace seemed like a cool way to do it.
