Zod certainly looked a fair amount different than what people would commonly associate him with today, when he first appeared. He pretty much was an amalgamation of most of the US' political enemies in the then-present and the past, and he wore disturbingly short shorts o_o

Classic Zod's made from a G.I. Joe Bison, with Infinite Universe Lex Luthor legs. Painted up, and with minor sculpting and scraps.
