Background[]
Non was a friend and scientific colleague of Jor-El.
When the Kryptonian Science Council discovered that two of their most revered scientists, Jor-El and Non, had determined that in a short matter of time, Krypton would suffer geothermic upheaval that would destroy the entire planet, they branded the two as heretics and sent General Zod and his militants to Jor-El's laboratory to arrest them. The Science Council administered a stern warning to them, and set them free.
Non ignored the Council's warning and preached to the populace of Krypton; revealing everything he knew of the pending disaster. Soon after, Non was captured and lobotomized under orders of the Science Council.
This incident drove Zod, who had become convinced of Non's warnings, over the edge and he and Ursa began an insurrection that made them the most wanted criminals on the planet. They, along with Non, were eventually captured and brought to justice. However, Jor-El argued on their behalf and swayed the Science Council from sentencing them to death. Instead, Jor-El elected for a more peaceful means of punishment - exile in the Phantom Zone.
The lobotomy left Non a minimally-verbal and highly aggressive brute, a far cry from the passive scientist he once was. Some aspects of his personality survived, however, and an extreme kindness sometimes surfaces when dealing with children.
