Roz-Em

Kryptonian

Roz-Em first appeared in Adventure Comics #304 (1963-01), published by DC. 3 appearances are indexed across 2 series.

The criminal Roz-Em had plastic surgery to look exactly like Nim-El (Jor-El's twin brother). He attempted to steal a valuable weapon from the Armory of Forbidden Weapons, but was captured by Jor-El and the real Nim-El. Roz-Em was placed in suspended animation, and imprisoned in a space capsule which was placed into orbit around Krypton. After Krypton's destruction, the capsule drifted through space, and Roz-Em eventually awakened and traveled to Earth. He planned on getting his revenge on Nim-El's nephew, Superboy, by pretending to be a Superman created from Superboy's exposure to red kryptonite. Superboy discovered Roz-Em's ruse and projected him into the Phantom Zone.
