Why are they so shit? Superman has like 5 good villains. He's the main character for DC heroes/comics while having shit villains. How can they be fixed?

All of them are pretty good in concept, they just lack any real stories behind them. Lex didn't become a complex villain because he was a jobber who had no real character depth or build up for the past 80 years

They're not but you made a bait thread either for attention or are so broken to think that the only way to generate discussion is by ragebaiting people

Schott became a psychotic monster
Doomsday fucking killed him
Darkseid is the final boss of the DCU
Henshaw and Black have grudges bigger than Black Manta's and Parasite fucked Clark just to drive him insane
And I'm not even getting to Luthor, Brainiac or Mongul who would be fighting for control of the planet if not for the Big Blue Boy Scout.
I defy you to pick more deadly rogues.

Superman's rogues gallery isn't shit. Read Silver Age and Bronze Age comics.

He's a SUPERHERO, he's not like Spider-Man or Batman which have more Shadow and Spider ancestry in their veins where the villains are Gothic reflections of the main character's psyche. He and Wonder Woman share Doc Savage and Tarzan and many other adventure heroes (Popeye, John Carter, etc) as huge inspirations.

If anything, Superman and the Hulk are kindred spirits with how much they owe to Frankenstein and Doc Savage. An adventure hero GOES PLACES and fights bad guys, and a sci-fi adventure super-hero like Superman does exactly that.

>fights evil scientist with evil inventions
>fights other space aliens
>fights metahumans with a chip on their shoulder

The Silver Age is what distinguishes Superman as a guy who has to THINK his way through conflicts and antagonists, a lot of the comics in this period come across more like Stand Battles where the threat is a puzzle that has to be solved.

The concept of superheroes fighting the same cocksuckers is cancerous dogshit. How adults partake in this charade is pretty insane. This sort of repetition makes sense in toddler cartoons, because babies are retards, but in superhero comics for manchildren? Come on, already. I know we're reading dumb fantasies, but don't let them fool you with the same crap for decades.
It would be better if they fought well-written and memorable villains, defeated them in great storylines, and made a recurrence extremely rare, so it had impact.

I mean, look at them.

Superman rogue gallery are good, has a good diversity
>Aliens
>Mafia
>Gods
>Experiments
>Animal/Mutants
>Metahuman
>Evil sciencist
I felt that batman rogues outside raas al ghul on the other side fail are more predictable and also the Jokerplotation (every writer need to do his big joker arc) this century has ruined the others villains (Two faces, Penguin, Scarecrow barely had big arc).

double dubs wasted on such retarded bait baka
>>
>>153228794
this is an astute observation
Superman does not have a 'rogue's gallery' he has SUPERVILLAINS with a capital S, but these guys thrive and hit their strive in a Silver Age world of death lasers and meteors

Where's the bait?

This is not really the case. Sure Superman explores new territory from time to time but he's not like Dr. Strange or the Fantastic 4 where the exploration is the focus on their stories. Superman is first a foremost a guardian that watches over his home territory, he's just so fast and powerful that his home territory can encompass a whole planet.
