I think this article should be returned to Ursa (villain) for the simple reason I don't think Ursa ever was a comic book character; the equivilent character in the comics was named Faora. Daibhid C 20:27, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Ursa never appeared in the comics. She was only in the films. Dmwc

Of course, as has been noted, that has changed in 2006, as film director Richard Donner is now co-writing Action Comics and brought the movie versions of the Phantom Zone criminals to the comics.
However, I do wonder about the statement (both here and in the Faora entry) that Ursa was undoubtedly based on Faora. Apparently, Faora's first appearance was in 1977, the same year that Superman I and II were filming. Surely the film's script would have floated around DC Comics by that point.
