Weeks later, Basqat was with Alia and Faora when Zod spoke to them about capturing the traitor Jor-El. Later, he abducted Jor-El from Tess Mercer's cellar, then released Jor-El after Zod was done interrogating him. Basqat was at Zod's warehouse headquarters where Zod was handing out assignments to his soldiers to ensure the completion of the solar tower when Clark Kent appeared and Zod ordered his soldiers to "Kneel before Kal-El," to Basqat's disgust. About a year later, Basqat was in the Fortress of Solitude with Zod and his fellow soldiers when Clark confronted Zod over the death of Faora. He sided with Zod and with his recently received powers, flew away with the rest of the Kandorians.

To begin the war on Earth, Basqat seared Zod's mark on the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C. Later, when the entire Kandorian army confronted Clark on a rooftop where he was about to use the Book of Rao, it was revealed that Zod was responsible for Faora's death. Basqat confessed that Zod was to be dealt with on their new world. After the Book of Rao was activated, Basqat, along with his fellow Kandorians, were sent to their new home.
Alternate Future
In Lois Lane's memories of the future, where Zod and the Kandorians had gained their abilities after turning Earth's yellow sun red and ruled with an iron fist, Basqat wore a black uniform with the Mark of Zod on his chest. When he encountered Lois from the past in the future, Basqat questioned her presence in the banned territory and when she refused, he took her to the Kent Farm which was converted into a sort of prison guarded by Kandorians. He was later assassinated by Resistance members, led by Chloe Sullivan and Oliver Queen, when a kryptonite knife was thrown at his heart.
Basqat (Origin)
A citizen of Kandor, Basqat was a soldier in Major Zod's army. At the request of the Krypton Council, he gave a sample of his blood to them to be put in the orb like the other soldiers so they would be resurrected through cloning if Krypton was destroyed.
Abilities
As one of the cloned Kryptonians whose DNA was irradiated with blue kryptonite radiation by Jor-El, Basqat did not possess his native Kryptonian abilities under a yellow sun. Instead, because of the radiation, his powers worked under a red sun but still worked the same way physically, storing up solar energy like a battery for future use. Zod used his blood to give Basqat and the rest of the Kandorians their powers under a yellow sun.
- Solar battery : Basqat received his abilities by Clark's blood.
- Flight : Basqat can defy gravity.
- Super strength : Basqat used this ability when Clark tried to punch one of Zod's soldiers but Basqat caught Clark's fist like it was nothing and threw him to the ground with ease.
- Super speed : Basqat is capable of running faster than the speed of sound.
- Heat vision : Basqat can project fire and heat with his eyes. He used this power to burn a Mark of Zod on the Washington Monument
- Super hearing : Basqat can hear sounds that a normal human cannot: he can listen to other people's conversations from far away.
