    Writers have a habit of stealing Superman villains

    I mean it happened with Mongol, now this rumor of Brainiac fighting the JLA which I have issues with cause I do not want the JLA to fight just Superman enemies. Maybe its just me, also how are you guys been gone from the forum for a very long time actually so its nice to be back.

    Brainiac I understand. If he comes to Earth it would be a planetary threat what do you think the other Heroes would just sit around and hope Superman handles it lol

    Brainiac is competent enough to take on the entire league and written well could make for an interesting story so i wouldn't be opposed to it. Agreed about the others though.

    Long time no hear from you.

    And actually I don’t find such state of things to be upsetting. Don’t think that rogues should specifically set to always fight against some specific hero. For example, if some villain started to cause mayhem in Metropolis, then of course it’s up for Superman to save the day. But both Mongul and Brainiac… They’re very powerful villains; they mostly operate outside of Earth – so it makes sense for them tackle with Lanterns, for example, or other team

    It's actually kinda flattering. Those enemies of Superman are so powerful and versatile, that writers of other characters want to play with them (heck, even the bloody Prankster made the switch to a Nightwing enemy, and thank God for that). Most of them are planetary-level threats, too, so it's to be expected that others become involved in fighting them. It's not like Mad Hatter hopping to Seattle to pick a fight with Green Arrow...

    Also, let's not forget that Superman "stole" Hector Hammond.

    If we look at Superman enemies most of them are world threats. They're not like the Joker or some ancient atlantian god. True that they could have used Green Lantern and Wonder Woman foes, and maybe in time they will. At least I hope so.

    If anything that's a compliment to his villains, but the ones that get "stolen" are really threats or villains to everyone.

    I don't like it either. Idk why they don't just use classic League villains.
