With past experiences from the Marvel and X-Men worlds, Roger had grown quite adept at gathering information.

After landing near a small town with Jean, Roger used his super vision to scout around.

Because of his time in the X-Men world, Roger's first move was to check this world's technological level. Upon inspection, he found that it was similar to what he knew of modern society.

There were televisions, computers, mature internet systems, and various network cables already in place.

After casually finding a passerby and having Jean inquire about the current year, Roger confirmed the time and place.

It was 2013 in the United States.

"Did we travel to the future?" Jean asked Roger curiously after learning the year.

Roger pondered for a moment before replying, "Sort of, but not the future of your world. You also looked into that person's memories just now, there don't seem to be mutants in this world."

"Indeed, no mutants... but it seems there are aliens," Jean nodded, then added.

"...?" Roger was stunned. "Aliens?"

Jean replied, "Yes, aliens. I saw it in this person's memory. An alien appeared last night. He called himself... General Zod and demanded that Earth hand over his people."

"Wait, what was that alien's name!?"

"General Zod."

Jean blinked and repeated it.

Hearing this name, Roger's expression shifted rapidly from clear to grim. He then replied to Jean with a hint of resignation, "It's Zod. This Earth might be in trouble."

"You... know this Zod?" Jean asked in confusion, noticing that Roger seemed familiar with the name.

"Don't you know Zod?" Roger questioned, seeing Jean's lack of recognition.

Jean shook her head in puzzlement, she indeed hadn't heard the name before.

Roger continued, "You've never read Superman comics?"

"No, but I've heard of Superman... Why are you bringing him up?"

"Because General Zod is a villain in the Superman series..." Roger explained, sounding a bit melancholic.

Dru-Zod, a well-known antagonist in the DC Universe, comes from the same planet as Superman, Kal-El. They both hail from Krypton.

Now that Zod was here, and since Jean learned that he arrived on Earth just last night and demanded Earth hand over his people, namely, Kal-El, or Superman, Clark Kent, Roger could piece things together. He figured they had likely arrived in the world of the movie Man of Steel.

More precisely, they had entered the DC Cinematic Universe, at the point in the timeline where Superman had just become known to the world.

Jean struggled to process the idea of being in Superman's world. "Isn't Superman a fictional character?"

Strictly speaking... you are too, Roger thought, looking at Jean, but he didn't voice that thought. Instead, he answered her, "In your world, yes. But across countless parallel worlds, the existence of Superman isn't so strange, right?"

"Well, alright..." Jean reluctantly accepted Roger's explanation.

Roger continued, "Anyway, if General Zod is anything like his comic book counterpart, even if he finds Superman, he won't necessarily spare Earth. He might still try to transform Earth into a new Krypton, so..."
