10 Superman Villains Too Crazy For Batman V Superman
8. Encantadora
The Villain: After years of searching, Lourdes Lucero's father finally acquired the fantastical Mists of Ibella, only for them to drive him insane. Lucero would instead embrace their power and became Encantadora. Though she would occasionally help Superman, this femme fatale’s most memorable enterprise was selling fake kryptonite to criminals
The entire character just felt like a poor excuse to trot out an impossibly huge-chested and poorly-dressed female for a few issues.
Why She Wouldn’t Work In The Film: Encantadora always felt like wasted potential. She was given an immense amount of power but chose to use it for the most mundane and impractical purposes. More than that, selling fake kryptonite in a city where the real thing seems to be easily acquirable makes her out to be fairly inept as a criminal.
Beyond the failings of her character, magic has never had much place in Superman’s world. Sure, it can weaken him but it doesn’t fit with who his character is. This is all the more true for the movies, where the more comic-book-style elements of his character seem to be tolerated rather than embraced.
