Superman is DC's first super hero in addition to being 1 of the best super heroes of all time. Superman doesn't have as many iconic villains as Batman, but he does have some cool enemies. This list is about my 5 favorite enemies of Superman.
5. Mr. Mxyzptlk
Mr. Mxyzptlk is a trouble making antagonist. He is more of a comedic villain than the other Superman villains. He manages to annoy Superman a lot. Mr. Mxyzptlk is 1 of Superman's most entertaining enemies. He truly shines in Superman: The Animated Series where is amusingly voiced by Gilbert Gottfried.
4. Doomsday
Doomsday may not be that prominent in the Superman franchise, but he sure is important and dangerous. He defeated Superman! He is nearly as powerful as Superman. Their fight is 1 of DC's most iconic and coolest fight scenes. Doomsday is menacing and cool looking.
3. Darkseid
Darkseid is 1 of DC's strongest villains. He is the leader a planet called Apokolips. He is so evil and cruel that even Superman was tempted to destroy him. Darkseid makes both Superman and Justice League more exciting by being 1 of their most threatening enemies. There are very few villains that more evil than him.
2. Nigel St. John
Nigel St. John is a recurring villain in the TV show Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. He started off as a helper to Lex Luthor, but he turned out to less trustworthy than he seemed. The most awesome thing about him is that he's played by the master of villain portrayers: Tony Jay. I hope that Nigel becomes a regular member of Superman's rouges gallery.
1. Lex Luthor
Lex Luthor is Superman's main enemy as well as being my favorite Superman villain. He is a greedy business man who is really smart. Lex threatens Superman not by being strong, but by using his intelligence and money. He's basically a villainous version of Bruce Wayne. Lex is a interesting, cool, and entertaining villain. He is such a great villain that he is the leader of the Legion of Doom and the main villain in Justice League Unlimited.

For those who are into the whole 'underground' world of up and coming things, Red Hood & The Outlaws are just that in the New 52 Universe. Being that Red Hood is connected to Batman, it seems as though this series is overlooked for some reason. As it competes with series' such as Flash, JLA, and Batman, it's tough to see fans pass over Red Hood and his endearing adventures in fighting supernatural beings, assassins, and aliens. In fact, since new series writer James Tynion IV took over writing duties, the series is better than ever. With a great and moving plot line, witty dialogue, and amazing art, the series has reinvigorated itself. Though many may have bet that the series would meet the same fate as Blackhawks and Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E, it seems as though Red Hood and his Outlaws will live to see another day. It only asks for respect and to be seen as a legit top-selling series.
