* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Dru-Zod uses a combination of Black Mercy toxin and somatic reconditioning to make him into a loyal tool.]]

* NighInvulnerable: His skin soaks up blaster fire with barely a reaction. [[spoiler:And the explosion of Wegthor, Krypton's moon, isn't enough to destroy him ''either''.]]

An engineer and bartender, and Seg's best friend.

* PoliceBrutality: Not quite to Comicbook/JudgeDredd-[=esque=] levels, but they're still seen as brutal oppressors by many Rankless Kryptonians, particularly under the command of individuals like Quex-Ul. Lyta-Zod intends to change things in that department.

%%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]
!!! '''Species:''' Kryptonian
!!! '''Played By:''' Aaron Pierre

A Sagitari who has always relished his role as a protector of Kandor.

* AdaptationalHeroism: In the comics Dev-Em is a dangerous criminal, although the pre-Crisis version was just a troublemaker who later had a HeelFaceTurn.
* AnArmAndALeg: He's taken over by Brainiac and Lyta is forced to shoot his arm off to protect her mother.
* ArrangedMarriage: He is bound to Lyta-Zod. He's loved her since childhood, but she still loves Seg.
* ArtificialLimbs: He gets a cybernetic limb after losing the flesh and blood one.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Seems to be the case... until Lyta kisses Seg again.
* ChildhoodFriends: He was Lyta's friend when they were children.
* DentedIron: His back is covered with scars.
* FreudianExcuse: His parents were killed by Black Zero, who left him with a back full of scars.

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He pulls absolutely no punch in the [[DuelToTheDeath Kandorian duel]] against Lyta-Zod.
* PoliceBrutality: He embodies this in his squad, having no problem brutalizing or killing Rankless people. Which is why Lyta challenges his authority.

* CowboyCop: She flatly ignores Lyta's orders not to indiscriminatingly use violence against the Rankless.
* RabidCop: She has troubles adjusting to Lyta's orders to treat the Rankless with minimal brutality. During the Rankless Initiative, she goes as far as killing an unarmed and shackled prisoner out of fear of being attacked in addition to considering him as a Black Zero sympathizer without any solid proof, which puts her under arrest by Lyta.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: She's killed in her cell shortly after retracting her fake testimony against Lyta-Zod.

!! High Council

[[folder: The Voice of Rao]]
!!''The Voice of Rao''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/voiceofrao_5.jpg]]

!!! '''Played By:''' Blake Ritson

-->''"May Rao's light forever guide your way."''

The deified supreme authority and central religious figure presiding over the High Council of Kandor.

* BiblicalMotifs: The gold writing on his robe is Malachi 3 from the Geneva [[Literature/TheBible Bible]], with slight modifications ("Krypton" instead of "Judah" and "Jerusalem") written in Kryptonian script.
* CorruptChurch: He's the central religious figure in Kandor, and its ''de facto'' ruler who maintains a class inequality on purpose. He has no trouble asking for a [[TheScapegoat scapegoat]] for his PR campaign to keep the Rankless quiet as he knows their discontent could turn into outright revolt against his rule.
* CreepyMonotone: He always speaks in the same tone, which makes him kind of creepy. He screams in agony as Brainiac's sentry infects him however.
* TheDreaded: Even Daron is wary of displeasing him.
* TheFaceless: He never takes off his mask, at least when anyone is around. He finally does after being infected by Brainiac.
* GodGuise:
** Seemingly a part of his power rests in that he controls the polarization of Kandor's dome.
** A far more direct and impressive one happens after being infected by Brainiac and seemingly turning into the avatar of the Sun in front of a crowd.
* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: He wears a white robe with sacred Kryptonian writings, has a quasi-divine status (Rao is the red sun and TopGod for Kryptonians) and his mask representing the faces of Krypton's gods is gilded.
* GoldMakesEverythingShiny: His gilded mask surely shines.
* HighPriest: He presides over public ceremonies to Rao.
* HiddenDepths: Before being assimilated by Brainiac, he’s seen holding and staring at the offering Ona gave him, implying that he was genuinely touched by it.
* IgnoranceIsBliss: Seems to maintain his power by keeping Kryptonians ignorant about other forms of life and civilizations in the universe.
* MalevolentMaskedMan: He wears an elaborate golden mask depicting the faces of Krypton's gods and maintains a form of scientific MedievalStasis by forbidding Kryptonians to research about other worlds and other forms of intelligent life in the universe. It's safe to say Krypton's society, and particularly the Rankless, is ''far'' from being enlightened and happy under his "guidance". Then he is turned into a Brainiac sentry...
* MouthOfSauron: After he is made one of Brainiac's Sentries. Compared to Rhom, who was taken over to gather information, it's his job to subdue the populace for Brainiac's eventual collection.
* MythologyGag: When possessed by Brainiac, he begins to resemble the likewise possessed Milton Fine Brainiac from the comic, as a goateed, mutating man turning green with a growing cranium.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: After being stabbed in the neck with the sunstone key by Nyssa-Vex, his body disintegrates.
* ObstructiveZealot: He's a religious authority figure who holds dominant sway over Krypton's society, religion and government.
* PetTheDog: He seems genuinely impressed with Ona's faith, and is interested in the Rao statuette she gives him. Unfortunately, this leads to his downfall, as the statuette had been infected by Brainiac, and it jumps to him.
* PhotoOpWithTheDog: His on-the-spot invitation and then presentation of Ona, a Rankless child, as a new acolyte before an awestruck crowd of Rankless. The acolytes accompanying him don't appear to be very happy about it.
* PuppeteerParasite: He's infected by Brainiac's Sentry at the end of "Word of Rao".
* VoiceOfTheLegion: After he is transformed into a Sentry.
* WouldHurtAChild: As Brainiac's sentry, he turns Ona into a living bomb so she'll kill Seg and his friends.
