Thoughts on "Zods and Monsters" (2x07):
Doomsday is "Captain Argo".
Kryptonians have at least one meta gene, and the allele capable of producing Doomsday was extremely rare 1000 cycles (years?) ago. Is this the same gene that gives Superman his abilities? Maybe most Kryptonians don't have the potential for superpowers.
Seg-El has the Super gene, but it seems to be dormant in him; he didn't develop powers under Colu's apparently-yellow sun. He passed the gene on to both lines of his descendants (Dru-Zod and the El kids). The vaguely-stated reason for Brainiac taking an interest in Seg-El and kidnapping Jor-El could be to study this rare genetic potential for superpowers.
from what was said of the DC Data base wikia while superman 's power are part of the meta gene it's also been said that it was supposed to be randomized like the human gennom where they each have their own unique powers but be cause of how krytonian's did something to them selves via recreating a planet via terra forming it's been put out to only do the abilities that superman exhibits .
Well, it's always been stated that Seg-El is Superman's grandfather. There could be different lifespans there.
A lot of things have been changed around with the timeline here (time travel etc.) so who knows where it is all headed.
"Seg" could be a traditional name in the El family; they're okay with repeating names every few generations. Superman's grandfather Seg could show up a century or so later.
General Zod and his mother are a problem, but we only have Dru-Zod's word for it that that's the relationship. He could have lied about that to win Lyta's allegiance -- as a prominent Sagitari, she's a valuable ally, and he's ruthless -- and faked whatever genetics test they ran on him.
I think it would be funny to hear Adam try to explain to Seg, Val, and Kem how he misidentified Superman's grandfather by a century.
you two are on the same page as me
here I'm gonna show you both something jor -el the father os super man was born with a twin and that twin was bore super girls father and he fathered the current leader of kal- dor.
any look this is who I was talking where seg's son's cor vex who was just named jor el I think it's jor el the first not the antcestor.
but from what I see. yes Gauthreia adam & zod are two generarions a head I think the only reason they both are there is because of brainac how ever they are wrong about seg being supman grand father when infact he's the great grand father.

Jor-El I (Earth-One)
Quote
Like many in his family, Jor-El was a respected scientist and a patriarch of the noble
House of El. To the amazement of his colleagues, he succesfully created an experimental rocket-ship capable of traveling through hyperspace.
Jor-El personally embarked upon a one-man journey to the Sol System wherein he discovered a small habitable world known as Earth.
Returning to Krypton he kept extensive notes concerning Earth and passed them down to his first son, Jor-El II. Knowledge of this planet inspired the son to one day send his own child Kal-El to Earth when catastrophe struck the planet Krypton, ending all life on the tortured world.

As to zod I think he was born from the clone and not the Lyta who's throat was cut. as to his father it's clear to that seg's not his dad and it was a lie. he never knew his that to begin so he was ether assuming or lying.
) IOW, the characters with knowledge of time travel don’t assume, in-universe, that the new/current timeline must necessarily follow the original. Indeed, Zod apparently believes he can change history; and Adam is actively working to restore history. So “predestination” isn’t a thing.
, but…
