You suggested 10 villains for Kara and made it seem effortless

Now it is time to suggest 10 villains for Jon

Taylor is seemingly bringing in Wildstorm concepts and characters for Jon which I am totally on board with. I actually picked a few villains for Jon as part of a brainstorming session a while back. These are mostly old pre-existing villains that haven't been used in years, some dating back to Pre-Crisis, and could be brought back and revamped for Jon. None are OCs, rest assured I'm not that arrogant just yet (besides I want to save those for myself if I ever actually get to write Clark).

Ultra-Humanite - The body hopping ability he has means he could be in disguise as a member of Jon's inner circle of friends. Jon as a half human/Kryptonian hybrid means that unlike his father, Jon’s body might accept Humanite’s consciousness, which in addition to revenge by proxy is why Humanite targets him. Morrison set up a future conflict between the two at the end of Superman & the Authority which I would like to see.

The Auctioneer - This guy is an alien who collects valuable objects of interest and sells them to the highest bidder. He’s an obvious choice to make Jon’s “Brainiac”. He could be trying to capture and sell Jon to Brainiac or Cadmus or anyone who wants to dissect him for being a hybrid.

Vyndyktvx - The son of Mr. Mxy going up against the son of Superman feels like an obvious choice.

Drekken the Destroyer - From Morrison Action he does the whole “evolve to defeat his opponent” that Doomsday does.

Lor-Zod - Another obvious choice, Son of Zod vs. Son of Superman.

The Gambler - This guy would be Jon’s “Prankster”, he was an old Superboy foe who engineered disasters and took bets on the results, perfect to be reinvented for Jon.

Kosmon the Hunter - Damn this dude predated Kraven! Same basic archetype though, he’d be perfect for Jon. Obviously he wants to kill the first Kryptonian/human hybrid, could have him employed and given weaponry by Humanite or Bendix just like Bloodsport was given weapons by Luthor.

The Mechanical Master - Able to animate machines to do his bidding. Could be Jon’s “Metallo”.

Mongal - She’s literally never done anything except die, but the daughter of the current Mongul pitting herself against Jon to get stronger could be fun.

Obsession - A crazy Superman fan girl who wanted to marry him. Easily adaptable as a fangirl of Jon's who tries to win his affections, then goes nuts when he doesn’t respond to her like she wanted. Jon’s “Maxima”.

Puzzler - I liked her being made of nanomachines from Up, Up, and Away, maybe we could cast her as an AI designed to improve life for humanity? Superman lacks a villain like the Riddler who is mainly interested in testing his mind rather than his body. Puzzler could fill that role after she goes rogue and decides the best way to improve humanity is by purging the stupid. Puzzler leaves puzzles for Jon and other Metropolis citizens to solve, killing anyone who fails, or in Jon's case, killing the hostages she takes to force him to compete.
