Superman Villains Appreciation 2021

I feel like Dominus is a underutilized character

His ability to create multiple universes and timelines on a whim...among other powers...is the kind of stuff that is well suited for an unconventional Superman story


Imagine tenet meets Superman meets a miniature crisis of infinite earths with non-linear alternate timelines

Despite her having such a cool design I don’t think I’ve ever fully connected with Silver Banshee as a villain for Superman:



I’d have to rework the source of her powers to make her a better fit I think.

[Gaius]

Not a bad Parasite design (I appreciate how Cho had them standing in something other than the generic pose he always uses lol)

I appreciate them too (and when other artists do them). I like his art but it gets pretty same-y when you're scrolling through them all.

I think Siobhan's issue is that the stories with here are boring. I never liked her... until they had her as a Supergirl villain and then it's ooohh./... because the story was good.

The tipping point is when you see Super-Banshee. Why? because that's the moment when the tone of the story shifts.... in a really weird way and it was sooo interesting.

Granted... it redefined the character of Silver Banshee.... but... I think it needed to happen. The popular rogues? we have entire BOOKS of backstory for them! This added a lot of... depth to the Siobhan Smythe(/McDougal) character.

Brainiac is hot, but really only in the DCAU. I base my version of him on the DCAU. The only thing that crappy '90s version of him gave us was that sexy dominatrix outfit. Like Jesus. Also, Six Flags seems to be obsessed with that version... they've used in it the queue lines of like 4 of their Superman rides...

[Vordan]

Looks like Xa-Du might be cameoing in Superman & the Authority!



Also is that Ursa/Faora with him I wonder?

[SiegePerilous02]

It might be Erndine Ze-Da, who was Xa-Du's wife in pre-Crisis comics

But are DCAU’s Brainiac’s eyebrows as on fleek as Silver Age Brainiac’s?

‘The hell, why does Brainiac from Six Flags look like a mutated Oliver Queen?

Woah didn’t know about her, that would be a cool deep cut pull!

The list of Kryptonians that have been seen in the comics is actually REALLY long.

Manchester Black has definitely seen better days:

To be fair, most of us wouldn't do better after going through nicotine withdrawal while in the form of a dairy cow.
