Superman Animated!: The Villains

By David Jamison

The Heroes

[memento-mori-twilight]

Alright, I know everyone and their cousins are all gaga over the Superboy reveal but

Let's talk about that new villain lineup!

And more importantly, how a lot of them are Honest-to-God head scratchers. Well, I have my guesses. As usual, more rambling explaining why is below the cut.

1) Like, Sir to Lex's immediate left, whomst the fuck are you?

You're too old to be an alternative of Clark, don't fit the previous design of Zor-el, still have both eyes unlike Jor-el...

Unless you are an Alternative Jor-el. Like the Fortress AI Jor-el. But even then, the outfit is slightly off since there's no Kryptonian armor (or symbol for that matter) and Jor-el would have no reason to be a threat to either of the Super Crew.

Speaking of AI, could be Eradicator as a more stable construct now that it's no longer one of Brainiac's protocols (echoing how it went from possessor to physical entity in the comics)...but I think someone else in this picture fits that bill.

Maybe it's Zod? But if so, Jesus are they making him look *exactly* like Jor-el, which DC has famously NEVER DONE. Since Zod is often seen as more of a brutish and ruthless character compared to Jor, he's often bulkier in build.

But then again, they've also built Kal's father like a truck in this adaptation so who knows, maybe that hair style was an official military mandate?

2) Speaking of hair, I see that curl on Lex's right.

HI HANK!

Looks like Lex found you after your plane exploded and fixed you up, huh!

Now you're well on your way to becoming Cyborg Superman officially and cementing yourself on the Permanent Superman Hater Squad!

3) Ah Lex! I see your luscious red-brown locks are finally gone. Wonder what caused it? Was it a bad outcome due to an experiment backfire, or are you sick from being around all that Kryptonite for those Metallos for weeks? You looked pretty run down last time we saw you. Maybe some new competition would bring some life back into your face.

4) Maybe another super genius on your level will challenge you? Maybe someone like...

Ultra-humanite! (On the villain screen bottom right)

Yeah I know the popular take on U-H is the super smart white-furred Gorilla with a surgery scar, but that's just his final form. And I think they're gonna pull what they did with Ivo/Parasite with him by only showcasing his final form on the Villains screen (only it looks like they're not going full Gorilla if he still has a human head).

He started out as Superman's oldest archenemy, a mad scientist who was obsessed with getting rich, getting revenge and living forever, predating Lex by a long while! So it will be fun watching Lex bump heads with what is essentially his ancestor until Ultra morphs himself to something beyond human.

5) Speaking of beyond human, I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what to make of that creature to Ultra's right.

Is that Ivo/Parasite fully free and morphed into a rabid alien creature? Is that just a normal alien creature?! Is that Dubbilex?! Is it Krypto?!?! I have no Earthly idea!

6) Last but not least on me still being confused, on the bottom left where the League of Lois Lanes used to sit, you will noticed there's a whole new group of people there.

And you will also notice that 2 out of that group of 4 are wearing helmets disgusting their features, but the other 2 aren't.

One looks like Lois in a pageboy cap with a sun and the other looks like Kara.

But wait a minute, it's not our Kara bc she's in the showdown squad at the bottom with the other 3 and that one is still in K-armor with the shoulder pads.

Maybe this is a fully Eradicator-pilled Kara as Brainiac tried to create during the season finale or..

What if the League of Lois' return, this time with their own Kara, but this isn't quite the same take on Kara that we got in Season 2?

What if this is a form of Power Girl Kara?!?

Would make sense for Clark and Kara to have matching brain conflicts meeting Kon-El and Power Girl at the same time, wouldn't it?

Or maybe this is another certain League making their appearance, this time with an Action Lois™ in tow? Maybe this is a glimpse at a version of the Legion of Superheroes, who are initially perceived as a threat until it turns out they're just trying to help?

Possibilities abound!

Those are just my predictions.

I have no idea what to expect for this season or what Josie, Brandon, or Jake have cooked up for us

But I have absolute certainty it's going to be one hell of a ride, and they haven't disappointed us yet!

Can't wait for Season 3!!!

" 'Oh you're majoring in metaphysical research!' They said. 'Why are you taking so many acting undergrad classes?' They said. 'When will you ever use this in your career?' They said. Well jokes on them."

- Lanfear as she was getting ready to play the part of 'girlfriend who is scared at first and then is overcome by desire loyalty and love for her boyfriend who can channel', probably.

I don't know the size of these, but it must've been a pain in the neck to cut-out those eyeglasses.

Heroes & Villains The DC Animated Universe - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

The Ultra-Humanite

The origins of the Ultra-Humanite in the DC Animated Universe remain unknown.  Perhaps he shares the same backstory as his comic book analog, or perhaps he is a denizen of the hidden Gorilla City.  Whatever the case, The Ultra-Humanite was an enormous, albino gorilla with an enlarged cranium that housed a brilliant albeit diabolical intellect.  

The Humanite’s ingenuity coupled with his incredible strength made him a formidable force and he hired himself out as a high priced mercenary.   He found himself in the employ of Lex Luthor when Luthor composed the first iteration of The Injustice League.  

Above all else, The Humanite was a lover of the fine arts, literature and the symphony.  When Batman was captured by the Injustice League, the Dark Knight honed in on The Humanite’s mercenary attitudes and love of the arts.  Batman offered that a huge sum to be donated for the production of cultural television programming in The Ultra-Humanite’s name were he to let him go.  The Humanite agreed; he freed Batman and later turned on Luthor helping the Justice League prevail.  

Batman made good on his promise and The Ultra-Huamnite happily returned to prison to watch the programs made with his thanks on a big screen television.  Some time thereafter, The Humanite broke free from prison and battled The Flash.

Actor Ian Buchanan provided the voice for the Ultra-Humanite, with the sophisticated villain first appearing in the eighth episode of the first season of Justice League, ‘Injustice For All.’
