Central rogues' gallery

In alphabetical order (with issue and date of first appearance)

Villain	First appearance	Description
Atlas	1st Issue Special #1 (April 1975)	A former one-shot Jack Kirby character recently revamped as a morally ambiguous anti-hero, Atlas has a crystal which gives him strength to rival Superman
Atomic Skull	Superman #303 (September 1976)	Two characters; The Pre-Crisis was given radiation treatments that gave him atomic eye-blasts; When the Post-Crisis Skull's superhuman powers manifested, a film buff began to hallucinate that he was a 1930s movie hero called the Atomic Skull and that Superman was his arch-nemesis
Bizarro	Superboy #68 (October 1958)	The first Bizarro was created when Superboy was exposed to a "duplicating ray", and was later destroyed in the same story. In a later story, Lex Luthor exposed Kal-El, now Superman, to another duplicating ray, this time creating an adult Bizarro. In accordance with the science fiction concepts of Superman stories of the era, Bizarro relocated to "the Bizarro World," a cubical planet called Htrae (Earth spelled backwards) which operated under "Bizarro logic" (it was a crime to do anything good or right) and which Bizarro populated with inverted versions of Superman’s supporting cast and other DC heroes. Bizarro appeared in Smallville as a criminal released from the Phantom Zone that required a Kryptonian body to survive. Bizarro took the form of Clark Kent though his face disfigures in the sun and their strengths and weaknesses work in opposite ways. The 1986 event, Crisis on Infinite Earths, re-wrote much of DC’s continuity, eliminating Htrae. Since then, two Bizarro characters have appeared, one of them a flawed clone created by Lex Luthor. The second, longer lasting Bizarro, was an idea of the Batman villain the Joker, brought to life by the cosmic trickster Mister Mxyzptlk.
Bloodsport	Superman vol. 2, #4 (April 1987)	A gun-toting mercenary.
Brainiac	Action Comics #242 (July 1958)	Though at his core Brainiac (alias Vril Dox) is formless, most incarnations depict him as a bald, green-skinned alien android from the planet Colu, and one of the most dangerous villains in the DC universe, capable of possessing others, creating and manipulating computer systems, and exerting some control over time and space.
Bruno "Ugly" Mannheim	Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #139, (July 1971)	Mannheim is one of Metropolis most powerful gangsters, the leader of the Intergang. He is also a cannibal.
Composite Superman	World's Finest Comics #142 (June 1964)	An out of work diver, Joseph Meach gained the combined powers of the Legion of Superheroes after being struck by the energy discharge of their statues while he slept.
Conduit	Superman: The Man of Steel #0	A good friend of Clark Kent's while growing up, he was exposed to Kryptonite Radiation as a baby and so became a living Kryptonite battery. Obsessed with coming in second to Clark and killing both Clark and Superman; has learned they are one and the same. He is currently deceased.
Darkseid	Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #134 (November 1970)	Uxas, Son of Heggra, alien dictator of the planet Apokolips. As with gods in other mythologies, Darkseid is incredibly powerful, but cannot escape his ultimate destiny. It has been foretold that Darkseid will meet his final defeat at the hands of his son, Orion, in a cataclysmic battle in the fiery Armaghetto of Apokolips. Presumably this outcome would occur at the climax of the New Gods series, but the title's unforeseen cancellation instead brought Darkseid's story arc to an unceremonious end, and both he and Orion were brought into the mainstream DC Universe, while Jack Kirby moved on to other projects. According to writer Mark Evanier, Jack Kirby modeled Darkseid on actor Jack Palance.
Doomsday	Superman: The Man of Steel #17 (November 1992)	The creature who killed Superman in a titanic battle that also resulted in Doomsday's death, although Doomsday comes back to life every time he dies, albeit more powerful. Created by an ancient genetic experiment on Krypton.
Eradicator	Action Comics Annual #2 (1989)	A powerful artificial intelligence from Krypton, the Eradicator program initially sought to transform and terraform Earth into a New Krypton. Since then, it has merged with human scientist David Conner, serving as a replacement Superman after the Man of Steel's apparent death and later as an ally to Superman himself.
Faora	Action Comics #471, May 1977	A Kryptonian martial artist who was sent to the Phantom Zone for her murderous hatred of men, she is able to beat Superman using her knowledge of Kryptonian pressure points (this character was used as the basis of General Zod's lover, Zaora).
General Zod	Adventure Comics #283 (April 1961)	General Dru-Zod is one of Superman's more prominent enemies. Once the Military Director of the Kryptonian Space Center, Zod had personally known Jor-El when he was an aspiring scientist. Zod attempted to take over Krypton during a period of turmoil caused by the termination of the space program; He was sentenced to the Phantom Zone for his crimes. Zod was first released by Kal-El (during his Superboy career) when his term of imprisonment was up. However, he attempted to conquer Earth with powers gained under the yellow sun. Zod was sent back into the Phantom Zone, occasionally escaping to target Superman. Since the history-altering Infinite Crisis, a new version of Zod has debuted, having escaped the Phantom Zone with his allies Ursa and Non. His new objective is to reclaim his son, Lor-Zod, who is currently in Superman and Lois Lane's custody (under the alias of "Chris Kent)." Zod also appeared in the movie Superman 2 after escaping from the phantom zone and hunting down Superman for revenge eventually been defeated. In Smallville, Zod was released from the Phantom Zone by Brainiac and took control of the body of Lex Luthor. Over time he had been returned to the Phantom Zone.
Gog	The Kingdom (1999)	In a possible future timeline, a boy called William was the sole survivor of the destruction of Kansas in a nuclear blast. Saved by Superman, he came to view the Man of Steel as a savior and became a minister of a church devoted to him. When Superman tried to correct this misguided view, William came to see him as instead a demon whose failure led to Kansas' destruction. Empowered by the cosmic beings known as the Quintessence, Gog has traveled across the dimensions of Hypertime, slaying versions of Superman wherever he finds them.
Hank Henshaw	Adventures of Superman #466 (May 1990)	An astronaut who died as a result of a doomed mission onboard space shuttle Excaliber. Because Superman failed to save him, Hank Henshaw blames him for the loss of his original body, as well the death of his wife. Reduced to a formless entity that inhabits mechanical bodies, the Cyborg desires to cause Superman equal pain. He masqueraded as a reincarnated Superman after the hero's apparent death, claiming to the result of Superman's remains being reconstructed into cybernetic form. The ruse was a tremendous success, even earning the Cyborg an endorsement from the U.S. President as the "true" Superman. Hank Henshaw betrayed those whose lives he was entrusted with when he obliterated Coast City with the help of Mongul; this event led to Green Lantern Hal Jordan's mental breakdown and later transformation into Parallax. Henshaw is currently a member of the Sinestro Corps, and continues to mockingly bear Superman's insignia.
Imperiex	Superman #153 (February 2000)	An all-powerful force of nature whose purpose is destroying galaxies. Eventually, Superman, Steel, and Darkseid stopped Imperiex by using Doomsday as an ally, along with a powerful weapon called the Entropy Aegis.
Intergang	Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #133 (October 1970)	A nationwide organized crime syndicate armed with weapons supplied in part by Darkseid. Led by Bruno "Ugly" Mannheim
Jax-Ur	(Pre-Crisis) Adventure Comics #289 (October 1961)	Jax-Ur was an amoral and criminally deviant scientist on the planet Krypton. He was imprisoned in the Phantom Zone for destroying Wegthor, one of the Krypton's inhabited (Population: 500) moons while experimenting with a nuclear warhead-equipped rocket. Jax-Ur's intention was to launch and test-fire it against a passing space rock. If this test proved successful, Jax-Ur would then commence the build-up of a massive, privately-held nuclear arsenal which he would overthrow the Kryptonian government, and place the entire planet under his dominion. (In the World of Krypton miniseries, he is shown test-launching a nuclear missile, intended to destroy a space rock, but a collision with a spaceship piloted by Jor-El sent it off-course.) Because of this, space travel was forbidden. He calls himself "the worst criminal in the Phantom Zone". His sentence for his act of mass murder is life imprisonment. In his first appearance, he managed to escape from the Phantom Zone, and posed as a super-powered version of Jonathan Kent. Superboy eventually sent Jax-Ur back to the Phantom Zone. Most of his later Silver Age appearances show him in his ghostly Phantom Zone form. Jax-Ur did not appear after the Crisis on Infinite Earths for some time, as until the recent appearance of Supergirl there was a rule that no Kryptonians survived except Superman. On the occasions that a pseudo-Kryptonian villain was required, writers have usually gone for General Zod.
	(Post-Crisis) Action Comics #846	He is one of the criminals unleashed from the Phantom Zone by Zod. In the current continuity, Jax-Ur destroyed Krypton's moon during an attempt at interstellar space travel. When the moon was destroyed, Kandor was lost as well, though the city appears to have been shown in recent months as a bottled city Superman keeps in his Fortress of Solitude. It was later revealed that the bottled Kandor was not actually the Kryptonian Kandor. The true fate of the Kryptonian Kandor has yet to be shown. Jax-Ur subsequently became the first prisoner banished to the Phantom Zone. Jax-Ur appeared in Superman: The Animated Series, where he was voiced by Ron Perlman. He was portrayed as closer to Zod; a military genius who had attempted to overthrow the Science Council. His co-conspirator, and possible lover, is a beautiful Kryptonian female with long white hair named Mala (based on Ursa and Faora).
Kryptonite Man	Superboy #83 (September 1960)	Originally a teenage delinquent who passed through a cloud of Kryptonite and gained super powers
Lex Luthor	Action Comics #23 (May 1940)	Superman's arch nemesis and the consummate evil genius. He continues to play different roles in various Superman comics and media. In his classic Silver Age incarnation, Lex Luthor and Superman were once friends, but a lab accident indirectly caused by Superman (then Superboy) caused Lex's hair completely to fall out. This event causes Luthor to snap and become a dangerous criminal who plots the destruction of Superman. In the modern era, Lex Luthor was re-envisioned as a wealthy corporate scientist who hides his sociopathic tendencies behind a mask of philanthropy. Although beloved by the people of Metropolis for his many public works, Superman knows the truth. In the mainstream comic series, Luthor eventually manipulates his way to the U.S. Presidency, but is forcibly unseated from office by the Justice League.
Livewire	Action Comics #835 (2006)	A woman who can control electricity. She first appeared in Superman: The Animated Series, and has recently been added into the comics.

Mongul	DC Comics Presents #27 (November 1980)	Ruler of the gladiatorial planet Warworld, Mongul's strength rivals that of Superman and he has often attempted to break the Man of Steel. Though slain by the demon Neron, Mongul's son has since taken up the mantle, as has his daughter Mongal.
Morgan Edge	Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #133, (October 1970)	A corrupt corporate executive, he tried to take control of Intergang and organized the post-Crisis iteration of the Superman Revenge Squad
Mr. Mxyzptlk	Superman #30 (September 1944)	An imp from the fifth dimension, Mr. Mxyzptlk possesses nigh-limitless reality-bending powers, which he often uses to pose challenges to Superman for his own amusement.
Parasite	Action Comics #340 (August 1966)	Originally a janitor, the Parasite's alter ego has been identified with two different people. In the original Silver Age comics, his alter ego was Raymond Maxwell Jensen; after the 1986 Superman origin revamp, his alter ego became Rudy Jones. In either version, the Parasite possesses the power to temporarily absorb the energy and knowledge of whoever he touches, usually leaving his victims in a weakened state. Given this ability, the Parasite often desires to absorb the Man of Steel's powers for himself.
Prankster	Action Comics #51 (August 1942)	Oswald Loomis, The Prankster's particular gimmick was the use of various practical jokes and gags in committing his crimes. This, coupled with his cartoonish appearance, caused many to write him off as a "joke villain", until the early 2000s, when writers improved upon the character by giving him a more svelte appearance, as well as high tech weaponry that made him a more serious threat.
Silver Banshee	Action Comics #595 (December, 1987)	A Gaelic woman trapped in a Limbo for decades by magic after she was double-crossed by a clan chief, then emerged with magic powers and vowed to track down his descendants for revenge.

Titano	Superman #127 (February 1959)	A colossal ape with kryptonite eye-beams.
Toyman	Action Comics #64 (September 1943)	The Toyman (Winslow Schott) uses toy-based or toy-themed devices and gimmicks in his various crimes. The Toyman's weapons, while sometimes comical, are also very dangerous. Toyman also appears in season 8 of Smallville trying to destroy lexcorp and the daily planet in atempts to kill oliver Queen who had fired Winslow from Queen industries.
Ultra-Humanite	Action Comics #13 (July 1939)	The Ultra-Humanite is the first supervillain faced by Superman. He was designed to be the polar opposite of the man of steel: while Superman is a hero with superhuman strength, Ultra-Humanite is a criminal mastermind who has a crippled body but a highly advanced intellect. Siegel and Shuster replaced the Ultra-Humanite as Superman's archfoe when Lex Luthor was introduced into the Superman comic. When Luthor replaced Ultra-Humanite as chief nemesis, he was retired for several decades only to return with the Earth II Superman and the Justice Society of America the targets of his machinations.
Ultraman	Justice League of America #29 (Aug. 1964)	An evil counterpart of Superman from an alternate Earth, Ultraman possesses powers similar to Superman's. Post-Crisis, Ultraman's power source is through exposure to Anti-Kryptonite instead of his Earth's yellow sun. Ultraman is a member of the Crime Syndicate of America, a villainous version of the Justice League indigenous to his universe. His power levels are equal to Superman's long as his exposure to Anti-Kryptonite is regularly maintained, away from them for too long causes his power levels to drop and lessen.
