Within the depths of the Phantom Zone, Non, once a loyal servant of General Zod, found himself trapped in an eternal prison. The endless expanse of desolation seemed to stretch into infinity, with no hope of escape. But fate had other plans in store for him.

Unbeknownst to Non, Lex Luthor, a cunning and manipulative mastermind, had devised a scheme to harness the power of the Phantom Zone for his own nefarious purposes. Seeking allies to further his ambitions, Luthor set his sights on Non, recognizing the potential power and loyalty the Kryptonian soldier possessed.

Using his wealth and intellect, Luthor devised a sophisticated plan to free Non from his prison. He sought out ancient texts and arcane knowledge, delving into forbidden realms of science and magic. Through his research, he discovered a rift in the fabric of reality—a fissure that could serve as a pathway into and out of the Phantom Zone.

Armed with this newfound knowledge, Luthor ventured to the edge of the Phantom Zone, a place where reality warped and shifted. There, he constructed a complex device capable of stabilizing the rift and granting him access to the imprisoned realm.

With a calculated risk, Luthor activated the device, creating a temporary gateway into the Phantom Zone. As the rift formed, tendrils of energy snaked out, drawing Non towards the portal. Sensing an opportunity for freedom, Non seized the chance, his determination overriding any lingering loyalty he had to Zod.

With the combined efforts of Luthor's technology and Non's sheer will, the Kryptonian warrior emerged from the Phantom Zone, stepping foot into the physical realm once again. The air crackled with residual energy as Non stood alongside Luthor, their partnership forged in darkness and shared ambitions.

Non, fueled by a newfound sense of freedom and a desire to reclaim his purpose, pledged his allegiance to Luthor. Together, they would work towards their own twisted vision of power and control, seeking to reshape the world according to their own malevolent whims.

As news of Non's escape spread, the heroes of the Justice League braced themselves for a renewed threat. They knew that the alliance between Non and Luthor would only spell further chaos and destruction. Their battle against Zod had been difficult enough, but now, they faced an even greater challenge—an enemy born from the shadows, driven by a desire for dominance.

In the face of this emerging menace, the heroes gathered their strength and resolve, determined to protect the innocent and stand against the darkness that threatened to engulf them. They knew that they had to unite their forces, putting aside their differences to confront the formidable duo that now threatened their world.

The stage was set for an epic clash—a battle that would test the heroes' mettle and push them to their limits. With Non and Luthor on the loose, the shadows grew deeper, and the need for the Justice League to rise to the challenge became more urgent than ever before.
