6. No Destructive Robots Or Genetic Monsters (Or At Least Ugly Ones)
Sure, robots and monsters are fortes of yours, and creating such things is indeed a particularly direct strategy for getting rid of Superman, but it just makes you look like the bad guy to the insignificant dolts that surround you in this appallingly primitive world of primates, and you get nothing but a prison sentence by the end of it. Yes, prison is only a setback, but your time is much too valuable for that. Plus, again, youd look bad and that decidedly inhuman false idol would look good. If youre going to use destructive robots or genetically-engineered monsters (Im still advising against this to begin with), at least make them aesthetically pleasing. This would probably rule out any kind of genetic engineering, because you usually have to go through a lot of attempts before anything starts looking good. And John Corben would be better left alone to go about his business rather than be experimented upon cybernetically. If you really, really have your heart set on doing this, work with a government body like in the comics and use focus groups to create a weapon that people can get behind. If theres one thing you need even more than a battle suit, its good PR, because the residents of Earth are probably completely tuckered out after cleaning up the messes in Metropolis and Smallville. And when you cash in on those political aspirations, Robots and Monsters isnt going to look good on your resume. The land plot might fare slightly better. The point is, if Man of Steel 2 includes a LexCorp version of Bizarro, it had am better be better-looking than Superman.
