The really weird thing about the villains is that Taito officially calls three of them Lex Luthor, Parasite and Metallo. I could almost buy the Metallo one. Luthor just seems to be a random alien???? The next boss after "Luthor," is purple and green and has an elephant head. With a few tweaks he could have been Luthor in his super suit from the old comics and cartoons. I wonder if Taito already had these villain sprites created for a different game and then slapped Superman in it. Regardless, I loved this one back in the day. It would be really cool if someone made a ROM hack and changed the sprites into recognizable Superman villains. They could make player 2 Captain Marvel/Shazam while they were at it.

I'm thinking that this was a different game before they got the Superman license, too. That would be awesome if someone made a ROM hack...this would be perfect :D
