Phantom Zone

The Phantom Zone is a fictional location featured in comic books published by DC Comics. It appeared in the original Superman film series beginning with a brief appearance in Superman: The Movie, as well as Superman II. It also appeared in the DC Extended Universe in the 2013 feature film Man of Steel.

The Phantom Zone is an interdimensional pocket realm that exists outside of space and time. Little is known about its actual properties, but it is believed to be a two-dimensional realm. It is sometimes represented as a geometric barrier through which the occupants of the Zone can look through a veritable window into the real world.

In the original film series Jor-El had created the Phantom Zone and used it to exile Kryptonian criminals. Three such criminals, Zod, Ursa and Non were sentenced to the Phantom Zone for acts of seditious treason. They remained there for about three decades, never aging. A shock wave in space, generated when a hydrogen bomb exploded after Superman hurled it into space, caused the Phantom Zone barrier to shatter, releasing the criminals.
