10 Most Brutal Fights In Superman Comics

10. Rogol Zaar

Brian Michael Bendis's recent Superman arc expands the Man of Steel's mythology and initially helped cement the Rebirth version of the character in DC's new continuity. However, as his run progressed, it led to extremely divisive plot elements and characters.

One of these characters is Rogol Zaar, and despite his fleeting presence in the comics, he quickly proved himself to be one of Superman's most dangerous foes. The xenophobic behemoth was created by Jor-El and played a role in the destruction of Krypton due to his intense hatred for Kryptonians. (He believed they decimated lesser species around them for their own insidious goals.)

This naturally puts him on a collision course with Superman and Earth by proxy. The monster and the hero clash several times, with Zaar demonstrating might equaling or even surpassing Superman himself and in addition to this, wields an axe that can injure empowered Kryptonians.

What truly lends their fights the brutal edge rarely seen in the Man of Steel's battles is Zaar's savagery and Superman's willingness to fight back with a similar ferocity.

Rogol Zaar may not have been around for long but he presented Superman with a challenge not seen since his initial clash with Doomsday.
