I definitely agree with the Metallo argument for one specific reason. Imagine the storyline for a sequel specific film where Superman thinks himself invincible and someone who can resolve any conflict only to be blindsided by something able to actually hurt and possibly kill him. The whole film would basically be Clark coming back to terms with his mortality. All thanks to Metallo

Probably cause so many adaptations only ever used Lex Luthor & Toy Man. I think that’s why so so many casuals know who Toyman is despite being a C-List villain in the comics.

General Zod has so much potential. I'd imagine him showing up early in Superman's story and he would tell him about Krypton's culture and Kal-Els parents, but he would twist the truth so he would look like the good guy, so that Superman would become his loyal pawn, just for Superman to somehow find out that he's not as benevolent as he seems and then Zod would drop the facade and essentially go full Omni-Man on Clark. And everytime they face off Clark would have conflicted feelings about fighting him, since he's on one hand extremely evil, but on the other hand, he's the only connection he has to Krypton (at least before Supergirl arrvies to earth)
@sarafontanini7051
@sarafontanini7051 Ай бұрын
i have this idea of Zod rising up against the leaders of krypton to try and make kryptonians more dominant (maybe have him mirror Lex where he has an intense hatred/distrust of non-kryptonians) and wants to perform experiments to make kryptonians unlock their potential powers (like in my version of events he knows someone who found the potential for powers in their DNA somehow and he wants to gain that power) also i want Zod to wear the red armour the russian Zod wore. Cause it looks rad as fuck and deserves to be worn by the real zod and not some random russian guy who took his name cause a ghost spoke to him.

Toyman is my favorite Superman villain, and I have my reasons. He is like the Jigsaw of villains with traps, inventions, a doll/puppet avatar, and a trauma-based insanity. While he may not be as smart as Lex or as Deductive as Batman, I believe he is the best inventor in all of DC Comics. For example, he managed to make… - A bouncy ball that never lost energy, constantly bouncing off of everything until it can move fast enough to even hurt Superman - A giant rubber duck with sharp teeth that can again fight on par with Superman and consistently hurt Superman, even driving him into the ground - Toy planes that shoot bullets at a fast enough rate to both hit and hurt Superman - A ray gun that can transfer someone to literally anywhere in the universe … and Toyman did all of this without using Kryptonite. He seemingly has no bounds to what his “toys” can do. He has a lot of raw power and an interesting character that’s kind of akin to Professor Pyg.

I never thought of him being the villain in a World's Finest movie. If they use the more sympathetic version of him, where he's an adult who genuinely wants to be a child and protect children from the horrors of adulthood, we could have a great source for conflict between the heroes. I could see Superman defending him from Batman's more brutal attempts to take him down (since Bats doesn't know him or how to deal with him) while trying to de-escalate the situation. Bats could be going too hard on him since he reales to the idea of the kids never seeing their parents again while Supes could find out that the parents are abusing their kids and using investigating Toyman as a cover for investigating the parents.

My favorites: Brainiac, Zod, Bizarro, Hank Henshaw/Cyborg Superman. Another one I really loved and seems to be forgotten about is Conduit (Kenny Braverman). As far as I can remember, I think he was only used in the comics once or twice but the storyline of him finding out Superman's identity and leaving the cryptic "I Know" messages for Clark and then the telling of his origin where he was a childhood friend that was jealous of Clark was excellent. Would love to see some version of that in live action. Check out the "The Death Of Clark Kent" storyline from 1995, it's really good.

Superman: The Animated Series was a gift. So many villains wouldn't be known of at all without that show. Parasite may not be my favorite bank-robbing villain, but he's still a cool concept and Lobo probably could have been Deadpool before Deadpool claimed that spot if he was managed a little better...I struggle to think of HOW he could have been better managed and half-suspect superheroes just weren't "In" enough at the time for Lobo to soar, but that doesn't make him, Parasite, Livewire or Metallo any less cool and they're arguably more versatile than Doomsday and Brainiac (hard to imagine anyone besides Superman being able to fight Doomsday while Brainiac feels like he/it can only do big-scale stories).

I actually think that Luthor was never Superman's Joker to begin with. He has always felt more like Penguin in how he operates than Joker. For me, that role is taken now by Darkseid, since their very first fight. He attacks Superman on a far greater level than Luthor ever could, not just psychologically, but also in a power level, and as a threat to everything Superman protects on top of it. In this, Darkseid is far better in the Joker nemesis role with Superman than Joker is with Batman now, to the point that their relationship is unique.

Favourite Superman villain: Brainiac. He's like an alien Ultron and I love him. Plus, as Supergirl once said: "Lex Luthor represents the worst about humanity. Brainiac is the worst about aliens." It's like the perfect mirror to Superman's alien side. Also, to a lesser extent, Parasite, because I love the body horror involved and his ability to copy powers. And I also really like Metallo because cool Kryptonite-powered Terminator.

I honestly I don't think Lex Luthor gets shoved down like Batman writers or DC in general does with Joker to where other heroes on Superman's rogue feel like they are getting slept on thanks to the Arch Enemy getting the spotlight. I wish Batman writers could take note of that.

She might not be my fav Superman villain, but I think the character, Cythonna, is severely underrated. She’s the Kryptonian Goddess of Ice and Darkness, and her powers are basically a more powerful version of Elsa’s from Frozen. She’s also physically stronger than Superman, being that she swatted him away like a fly just by merely backhanding him. Sadly, She’s only appeared in one DC storyline and that’s “The Last God of Krypton”

I completely agree Superman's Rogue's Gallery is INSANELY underrated. There is so much potential with all of them and yet they always use General Zod or Doomsday who are some of the least interesting members of his rogues gallery. Lex Luthor is of course his best villain and such a fantastic villain, but other villains like Metallo, Brainiac, Livewire, Parasite, Toyman, Bizarro, Silver Banshee, Mr Myxzpltk, Manchester Black and the Elite etc... are all interesting characters and complex villains that acts as polar and moral opposites to Superman and everything he stands for and I wish that more adaptations and media explore them in interesting and unique ways

Bizzaro>Lex) 2: Brainiac (Ik he’s famous, but he’s still a goated villain) 3: Mr. Mxyzptlk (People need to start respecting Mr. Mxyzptlk) 4: Mongul (I would love to see him as a main villain in a film) 5: Metallo (So glad you guys gave Metallo some attention) 6: Parasite (Had some of the best episodes in Superman: The Animated Series) 7: Cyborg Superman (I mean, he’s a Cyborg Superman🐐) 8: Toyman (You wouldn’t expect it, but he’s pretty creepy)
