Krypton (2018)

Krypton features a prominent and positively depicted same-sex relationship between Lyta-Zod and Dev-Em. Their bond is portrayed with depth, complexity, and dignity, serving as a significant aspect of their character arcs. The show normalizes their relationship, presenting it without specific prejudice or negative framing related to its same-sex nature, contributing to an affirming overall portrayal.

The show features female characters like Lyta-Zod and Jayna-Zod, who are highly skilled Sagitari soldiers. They are depicted engaging in and winning physical combat against male opponents, utilizing hand-to-hand techniques and melee weapons.

The show features Jax-Ur, a character canonically established as male in DC Comics, portrayed as female in the series.

General Zod, a character consistently depicted as white in DC Comics and prior adaptations, is portrayed by a Black actor in the series. This constitutes a clear instance of a race swap.
