Favorite Superman Villain?

Ok, gang, it's time to pick your favorite bad guy for the Man of Steel. Can't say I was ever a big fan of Superman's villains (I had to check Wikipedia to fill in some of these poll spots), but he does have some major players on here.

Re: Favorite Superman Villain?

I'm gonna go Darkseid on this one. I always saw him as more of an equal for superman than any of the others. Brainiac and Bizarro are close seconds, but when i was younger, I remember that in my 8 year old mind, Darkseid was always more of a threat than anyone else in actually beating superman. Plus he had the coolest Super-Powers action figure and space ship...

Re: Favorite Superman Villain?

I went with Darkseid myself, mostly for the huge brawl they had during that one JLU episode.

Re: Favorite Superman Villain?

Not sure you'd count him as one of Superman's villians but I thought Manchester Black was a great character.

Re: Favorite Superman Villain?

Where's the "they all suck" option?

For Superman to be such an iconic character, his villain list is a dump compared to other super-heroes of his statue.

Re: Favorite Superman Villain?

I thought for sure Lex would end up winning this sucker, but I guess stealing 40 cakes just isn't evil enough these days.

Re: Favorite Superman Villain?

Oh, and any volunteers to do a Favorite Flash Villain poll? Even with the help of Wikipedia, I simply don't know enough about his Rogues Gallery to narrow it down to a top 24. He has a massive list, and I'd hate to include some chump by accident, and leave out a real baddie.

Re: Favorite Superman Villain?

I'm going with old Lex. Mad Scientist to Mad Business Man. I might have said Lobo but he isn't really a villain he is the Main Man and he really isn't "Superman villain".

Re: Favorite Superman Villain?

I want to change my answer. I vote for Terra-Man. He was a frigging space cowboy -- what's not to love?

Re: Favorite Superman Villain?

This was tough, but I went with Bizarro. I've always loved him for some reason.

Honestly, I think most superhero rogue galleries are pretty lackluster. The only ones that are iconic to me are the Batman and X-Men villains.

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad for having it.

Spider-Man has a terrific group of enemies: Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Venom, Sandman, Mysterio, Rhino, Beetle, Hydro-Man, Electro, Kingpin (before he got stolen by DD), Kraven, Scorpion, Hobgoblin... J. Jonah Jameson!
