I'm aware of how clickbait this sounds: "I hate Superman", says comic book nerd.

In all honesty, though, welcome to the Superman fanclub!

@carnivalofsins00: Superman is Dogwater..

Invicible is ok...but Supes is the man! 
 
@Sharliecash, Sentry IS a Superman biteoff...wears an S, has similar uniform/costume, powers and is just Blond...even most DC and Marvel creators admit Sentry was inspired GREATLY by Superman...

i've read a few superman comics or ones he's in and for me ironically he's been the most boring character in the majority of them because he's over powered powered and too perfect. while i know people will flamebait this, i prefer characters like spiderman, because he is not more powerful than most of his enemies and not always stronger. i also like how he's not perfect, he succeeds at his super human life at the cost of those he care's about, he always has self doubt and fear of letting people down if he doesn't do anything that he hides behind a mask of jokes and quips, that's only a brief summary 
 
also people think the sentry is a superman knockoff,  if anything he's a scarlet witch knockoff or at least proves a cycle that some one will appear with limitless power they will lose control and then destroy 
 
ps. i don't like how he is disguised by his glasses 

Superman? BAH!

Yeah but just saying no Marvel fan should ever bitch about Superman since one, the name implies "power" hence why they call him "SUPER-Man.." and Galactus is powerful but there are also tons of other characters in both DC and Marvel far more powerful then Galactus...even some versions of Superman(the more ridiculous versions)  Hell I'm sure between SA Supes, Golden Supes, Spectre and the 5th dim imps can take out everyone else in DC and Marvel minus Presence and TOAA... 
 
Superman though his story is unique and far different then any mythological god, I'm sure his "strength" was somewhat inspired by some Gods but aside from that, he's in a league of his own and unique.

I love how these superman haters call him overpowered and such yet love Marvel characters like SS or Galactus...the hypocricy there is amusing yet sad at the same time... 
 
I can't see how any "true" comicbook fan can HATE Superman....even if you don't like him, at least respect him if not for Supes you wouldn't have your favorite comicbook characters since he inspired all of them...

"He is the best in my opinion. To each their own I suppose but if it wasn't for Superman, none of the other darker and more 'realistic' heroes would have come into existence. He was the original, the first official superhero.  If it wasn't for him, the comic book universe we know today would be different or may not exist at all "

"i love how so many of the people that call superman overpowered are some of the same that love goku. when i think overpowered his the first one that pops into my head yet you never hear them say anything bad about him "

"Why would anyone hate Superman? "

Well for me Supes totally owns bats...lol but to each's own

 
Superman/Brainiac is awesome. 

And here I was not wanting to open this topic thinking it would be just another one of those Superman hate threads. I actually have a very similar story to yours. I used to hate Superman for no reason in particular, but as of recent, I've been reading a lot more of his stories, and what an awesome character! He's so much more than just his powers, wish more people could see that.

"Glad to see another person actually read a Superman comic and see he can be written awesomely. I don't know why everyone seems to hate on Supes while walking cheat codes (coughwolverinecough) and super-godly characters (coughphoenixcough) are glorified. It's like people hate on Supes because it's popular to hate on Supes. Alongside Green Lantern, Flash, Batman and (before that man who shall not be named) Spider-Man, Superman comics are some of my favorite reads."

" Got to admit always loved Supes but not to hot on grounded but I will give it time. "

Brainiac Storyline to New Krypton to War of the Supermen is awesome as hell. Grounded is boring though. Check out  Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? its awesome

Every now and then you see a single panel of art in a comic book that is something awesome, for me it's a superman piece, its Kingdom Come, I think that's the one, where a very pissed off Superman is flying full speed to kick some ass, I loved that.

lol

Hate for Superman is misplaced. It's good you like him now.
