Yes and it’s underutilized

Livewire alone is more interesting than most of Batman's villains, and ALL of Wonder Woman's villains.
Hudson Price
I'm actually glad that lately Darkseid hasn't been used as a Superman villain, but rather an overall DC Universe antagonist. It generally just made him look bad.
Oliver Wilson
Superman's rogues gallery is among the best, possibly the best overall. DC really needs to put more of his rogues gallery on screen and in comics more.
Ryan Thompson
Toyman needs a moment in the spotlight. Prankster too.
Unfortunately, he still shows up too frequently, he's become a jobber.
Dylan Powell
A lot of his villains get used as Justice League antagonists because they’re the appropriate threat level for it.
Especially Braniac.
Every time he’s used as a Justice League villain, he gets shittier and more generic.
Kevin Myers
someone name em
Joshua Phillips
They need to leave him alone for a while. We've had a giant universe-shaking battle against him at least once a decade since the 80s. Make some new big bads (just not retarded ones like Perpetua).
Doomsday too. Death and Return of Superman was hot garbage. It sold like crazy then and still does today so I get why they keep rehashing it but ffs, let it go. He has so many better villains and storylines.
Levi Jenkins
He has some very good obscure ones too. like master jailer, conduit. I just wish thy'd stop using lex.
Leo Diaz
who's left or bizarro?
Owen Sanchez
Left to right: Mongul, Zod, Parasite, Toyman, Darkseid, Luthor, Brainiac, Atomic Skull, can't remember his name, Bizaro, Doomsday, Silver Banshee, that nigger from Whatever Happened to Truth Justice and the American Way, Mr. Mxy, Livewire, Metallo.
Jaxson Ward
Prankster had that nice little Busiek short story in a recent anthology.
Brody Cooper
Don’t classify Darkseid as a Superman villain
Connor Price
Prankster. A man who uses his genius intellect to fuck with Superman.
William James
Is he the guy who shoved pennies in his ears?
John Moore
Can you name more than three villains? Congrats you are now in the top 10 best Rogues Gallery. Supes beats out everyone who isn’t Batman/Spidey imo. Maybe you could put Flash above him, but Supes is still easily top 5.

No, they can't give him a good villian for shit.

Uh huh. Name me a JL story where Brainiac was the main bad guy. You can’t because the only time Brainiac was a JL threat was Injustice 2 where Murderman was locked up and once he was freed he beat Brainiac up.
And when the fuck have the rest EVER been JL villains? Name me some stories.
William Cox
Let's talk about Superman villains that AREN'T in this collage.
Samuel Russell
Of course.
All long-standing characters have good ones.
Even some villains have their own rogues
Isaiah Bailey
How many of Batman’s Rogues are gangsters with gimmicks again? Fucking all of them? Shit what’s even the difference between Joker and Zsaaz these days? Some overlap is fine, not like it’s that uncommon elsewhere, look at Flash and evil speedsters, GL and evil Lanterns, etc.
Noah Roberts
No
They’re all just as boring as he is

William Ramirez
The recent Snyder run had some issues where Brainiac pulled a Convergence and bottled fragments of alternate timelines again, with the heroes teaming up to take him down at the end. Although, yeah, he was working under the whole Perpetua stuff so I guess you might not count it, but he was the actual active threat in those issues.

I like what Telltale did with him. (Zsaz)

Blake Collins
How? Brainiac is used a lot.
Angel Hall
That was dogshit and got wiped out. And Brother Eye was the main bad guy.
Brainiac was a member of the Legion of Doom during Snyder’s run, not a solo villain.
Ayden Robinson
Batman's rogues are better.
Nolan Bell
I’m guessing he means outside media where it’s just fucking Lex and Zod over and over.
Cooper Torres
I really like it whenever Puzzler shows up. Like as the female puzzle piece golem. Or the robot with a human mind.
Dylan Lee
The first one that comes to mind for me is Master Jailer, Clark's childhood friend turned supervillain. He hasn't been used much outside the Bronze Age. I think his most recent appearance was just as death fodder for the Suicide Squad.
Michael Miller
What’s the point in having the best Rogues Gallery when all anyone wants to do is jerk off to the Joker? When was the last Scarecrow story worth a damn?
Kevin Parker
Bring back Rampage.
Brayden Sullivan
Should Legion's villains also be Superman's?
