So, who's Superman's best post-Crisis rogue?

[ascended]

Solaris. Best underused villain ever. I mean, what's a better foe for Superman than a giant, intelligent and evil sun? Absolutely great character with a great origin story. Sad that the only person who gets to use him is Grant Morrison. But with Grant on Action right now I hope to see him again.

Maxima is great if she still counts as a villain. I love her motivation. It's twisted in a crazy stalker way but you can sort of see her reasoning, and any time you can relate to a villain, its good. I hope to see her return in the New52, without going soft like she did in the League.

Manchester Black is a personal favorite but I really dont know if I can call him one of the best. Maybe? He just didnt show up a lot. But he does get major points for everything he did to Clark after Our Worlds At War. Few people have been able to hurt Clark like Black did.

Same sort of goes for Conduit. I liked the character but he just didnt hang long enough to get the level of cred he needs to be called one of the greats.

Ignition is the same, only to a lesser extent. I wish something had been done with him as I thought he had a great visual and an intriguing history (saved from the Emperor Joker reality) but DC never did anything with him.

And then, there's Hank Henshaw. Cant wait to see him again. I thought Johns did a great job building on what Death&Return set up, and honestly, him stealing the character for GL will only make the next Superman/Henshaw run-in that much more epic. Assuming the character still exists. With Clark's death and past being sort of murky, Im not sure how that works with Sinestro Corps War, which certainly still happened in continuity.

So I guess its Henshaw and Solaris for me.

Manchester Black's great. I don't really consider Maxima a villain (what with her extensive time with the Justice League, and seemingly dying trying to help save the universe...)

He was cool but he not used enough

Given how is story ended, I think any more would've been too much

[manofsteel1979]

I would vote Cyborg Superman for sure up until his involvement in the SUPERMAN RED/SUPERMAN BLUE debacle. After that, he had worn out his welcome. I think I read somewhere that he still exists in DCnU history, due to his Green Lantern connections. A version of him is going to be introduced in issue #2 of SMALLVILLE, so I'd wager he will be back at some point.

I would also put down the Russian Zod from the Joe Kelly era ACTION COMICS. A great mysterious villain that was truly terrifying. It's a shame the ending to his arc in "The Harvest" storyline was weak.

Personal favourites:

Conduit
Gog (The Kingdom)
Russian Zod
Solaris

I like Livewire alot and it was neat to see an animated show influence the comics for a change. I also think Gog was pretty sweet, but I'm stuck between Doomsday and Cyborg Superman for my favourite villain.
