But what about his villains?

But who’s the mightiest and, in turn, the toughest match for Superman?

He’smore experienced and tactically mindedthan the DC hero,not to mention far more brutal.

His inclusion in the film franchises has led to some of thebest Superman scenes in cinema.

Superman is a great guy, but he’s far less prolific than Zod.

Cyborg Superman can also morph into electronics and modify them once they’re part of his body.

However,he is also weak to Kryptonite.

This power is ridiculously dangerous for a hero like Superman because it can put others at great risk.

Metallo is another cyborg-based villain that Superman has faced over the years.

Metallo is absolutely obsessed with Lois Lane, making him even more of a threat to Superman.

It’s a wonder why Metallo is among thevillains not featured in the Superman moviesyet.

The Warzoon who tyrannically ruled and controlled the planet known as Warworld is absurdly strong.

His species' physiology allows him tothrow punches that can shake the Earth itself.

Mongul has trained for years in hand-to-hand combat, making him an even greater threat.

Warzoons have incredible hand-eye coordination, which has given them jaw-dropping agility and reflexes that rival those of Superman.

But Lex Luthor is also pretty dang smart, right?

He bests Superman in that way.

He’s not only that, but alsotelepathic, can control technology, and is genuinely immortal.

Brainiac’s technological makeup makes him immune to any sort of aging.

He is one of the only foes in the entire canonto have actually defeated Superman.

The scariest part is that one day, that may no longer be possible.

A tyrant the actual God of Tyranny (or God of Evil in the current canon).

He’s ruthless, without mercy, and as sadistic as they come.

Every time this baddie comes around,destruction and death are imminent.

Darkseid istheultimate evil in DC, always finding a way to return.

The only way he’s ever been actually defeated is by an older version of himself who killed him.

Along with being so strong, Superboy-Prime is almost fully resistant to all forms of manipulation.

The Monitors, near-omnipotent beings in the comics, genuinely fear Superboy-Prime.

The character has apower set comparable to that of a godand is considered a High-Tier Low-Multiversal being.

As a fifth-dimensional being, his range of abilities is considered borderline impossible to imagine by the human mind.

The trickster can do virtually anything he wants;whatever he wishes, he can make it happen.

While there are those stronger than him in the sixth dimension, none are necessarily Superman villains.

So when it comes to foes for the Man of Steel, this little imp takes the cake.
