That's a really creepy Brainiac .

That's a really creepy Brainiac .

Straigh out of a nightmare.

[K7P5V]

Yeah really. That Mongul ain’t working for anybody.

I know, right?! Classic Mongul will always be my preference

Anyone remember Blanque? Always thought he had potential.

Anyone remember Blanque? Always thought he had potential.

Of all the villains stuck to one era he was one I thought was really asking to be used more

Well him and Kryptonite Man. The kid, the original. He kicked ass

Anyone remember Blanque? Always thought he had potential.

Dug his design, reminded me of Hickman’s love of monochrome characters. You know I thought about how he could get more depth. Conclusion I came up with is that they should lean into his mad artist schtick. Superman wants to inspire people to do good. Blanque wants to inspire people to make great art. Superman tries to inspire people through good deeds. Blanque should be a believer that great art requires great suffering, hence the massacres. His goal is to find people with artistic talent and nudge them to greatness via murder/torture/trauma. So you get an interesting ideological conflict between Supes and Blanque to go alongside the physical conflict: what is better for inspiring people? Compassion? Or Cruelty?

Sorry I’m confused are you referring to the Pre-Crisis K-Man?

[Kuwagaton]

The same

[Thor-Ul]

Anyone remember Blanque? Always thought he had potential.

He can be the villian than Manchester Black will not be. I prefer Black as anti-hero more than full villian. Or even in the "rival" category.

Dreamer has made her break from the rest of the Squad, and Amanda Waller is pissed. Who will side with the dream-walking precog, and who will kiss the ring of the DC Universe’s premier control freak? The answers will surprise you (except I think we all pretty much know Bizarro will do something “opposite,” though, right?) as the Dream Team shatters!

Hope the book uses Bizarro well.
