Man Of Steel 2: 7 Villains We Really Need To See

7. Bizarro

Kryptonian DNA seems to be of major interest in the DCEU with both Zod and Luthor obsessed with gaining control of the remaining samples. With Superman the only remaining survivor from Kyrpton, it wouldn’t be a leap in logic to see Luthor or another shady government group steal Clark Kent’s DNA to further experiment on Kryptonian genetic material.

Traditionally Bizarro is the twisted version of Superman, created when human DNA is spliced with its Kryptonian counterpart; when the experiment to create the perfect soldier goes horribly wrong, Luthor attempts to destroy Bizarro but the resilient creature survives. Possessing the abilities of Superman but lacking his intelligence or complete memories, Bizarro proves to be a vicious, tragic and sometimes humorous villain, for the Man Of Steel.

An inversion of Superman provides a talented filmmaker and script writer with a treasure trove of story beats to exploit, especially after the public and government of the DC universe has finally accepted Superman as a hero.
