Ursa (comics)

Ursa is a fictional supervillain appearing in the DC Comics universe. An enemy of Superman, she is a co-conspirator and accomplice of General Zod. She first appeared in the 1978 film Superman: The Movie, where she was portrayed by actress Sarah Douglas (who reprised the role in the 1980 sequel Superman II). Almost three decades later, the character made her in-continuity comic book debut in Action Comics #845 (January 2007).

Film

Superman: The Movie

In the first Superman film, Ursa (played by Sarah Douglas) appears alongside General Zod and Non as they are being sentenced to eternal imprisonment in the Phantom Zone by Krypton's Ruling Council of Elders. The chief accuser is Superman's biological father Jor-El, who declares that Ursa's "perversions and unreasoning hatred of all mankind have threatened even the children of the planet Krypton." Ursa, Zod, and Non are imprisoned in the Phantom Zone where they should remain for all eternity and are not heard from again in the first film. Once in the Phantom Zone, she desperately screams, "Forgive me!" repeatedly.
