For me, Lex trading Lena, his own daughter, to Brainiac 13 may be the most awful thing I've seen him do. But there are plenty of other moments. Which one is your's?

It’s not a big deal, but I’m proud of it.

I’ve been trying to get back into comics recently & I’ve become slightly obsessed with learning interesting facts about various superheroes & I wanted to ask the community for their strangest facts! Anything from what could’ve been, obscure characters, strange facts, anything you have I would like to know!

Hi. Not only I'm a big fan of Superman but also Snyderverse. Therefore, I wrote this pilot to honor DCEU Superman. It's also based on New 52, Earth One and Absolute Universe. Feel free to comment.

What do you think are the most spiteful things that Superman villains have done?
From the top of my head:
All Star Lex giving Superman a toxic dose of yellow sunlight
Pre-Flashpoint Lex destroying New Krypton
Pre-Flashpoint Lex forcing Superman to relive painful moments like dying from Doomsday, Krypton being destroyed, New Krypton being destroyed, Chris Kent going into the Phantom Zone, Jonathan Kent's death
Pre-Crisis Lex refusing to cure a Lois and Lana of a deadly disease all while taunting Superman over it
DCAU Lex doing a false presidential campaign to mess with Superman
Smallville Lex making Lana into a Kryptonite Woman that is deadly to Clark
Arrowverse Lex killing the Supermen of the multiverse during the Crisis of Infinite Earths and replacing Earth-96 Superman as the Paragon of Truth
Brainiac One Million capturing all the Legions that Superman had just saved
Cyborg Superman impersonating Superman to corrupt the Legion
Off-Continuity Brainiac recreating Krypton's destruction
Smallville Brainiac infecting Martha with a deadly disease, paralyzing Lana, possessing Chloe, banishing Kara into the Phantom Zone
Absolute Brainiac unleashing villains & victims to discourage/break Superman like Metallo, Toyman, Chemo, Atomic Skull, Bloodsport
Smallville Zod destroying Krypton and sending Doomsday after Kal-El
Mainstream Comic Zod taking out Superman's eye and spreading Kryptonite that is poisonous to everyone on Earth
DCAU Darkseid killing Dan Turpin and making Superman into a brainwashed pawn
DCAMU Darkseid devastating/torturing Earth, its heroes, and Superman specifically by forcing a Kryptonite tattoo on him depowering him as well
Mainstream Universe Darkseid making the Absolute Universe and thus the events of Absolute Superman's life
Pre-Flashpoint Darkseid "killing" Batman and taking control of humanity with the Anti-Life Equation
Mxyzptlk causing Superman's villains to become more murderous (Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow) leading to Superman's secret identity being exposed, the deaths of Pete Ross, Lana Lang, Jimmy Olsen, and Krypto
Mxyzptlk merged with Aethyr crashing the remains of Argo City into Metropolis leaving it devastated, covered in Kryptonite, and littered with Kryptonian corpses
Generations Ultra-Humanite exposed Superman's secret identity, killed Lois, manipulated and later killed Superman's powerless son to become evil and kill Superman's daughter, framed Superman for killing Lex
Pre-Flashpoint Manchester Black revealing Superman's identity to supervillains and faking Lois' death

Okay, so it's not TOTALLY original. The sigil used is from the injustice comics, and I hope james Gun uses this one in his rendition of zod. I think the kingdom come Sigil, and this one would clash really well against one another! Anyway, here are some original zod/ kryptonian space suit designs. I thought a loin cloth would be a cool addition? I don't just want to repeat supermans shorts but in black, and I feel like it adds some cool kryptonian cultural sneak peaks. It started at an idea for zods version of Superman robots. After all, if Kal-el had his own, why would one of kryptons' highest decorated generals be? Give me some ideas and criticisms on things i could try on it! I'm still tinkering with the design.

I remember reading a reprinted superman comic books in the local public library when I was little, and I remember one pretty short story - could not have been more than an issue or two - where the villain was an ordinary hippie looking homeless person. At first he just appears harmless, but it turns out that he could make anyone do anything as long as he said the word "Please" at the end. I think he had just recently come across this power.
Towards the end, the homeless guy tells Superman to take a slow boat to China to get rid of him. Superman found that he could not do anything but sit in a tiny sailboat as it slowly made its way to China, but found a loophole by using his super breath to propel the boat to China.
Superman flew back and was able to defeat him in some kind of loop logic or something. I don't remember the details, but it seemed like the guy loses his powers and also the memory of having had any powers at the end, because Superman as Clark Kent sees the person begging pedestrians for pocket change.
Does anyone know what issue this is or who the antagonist was? This memory came back to me a few weeks back, and I have been trying to look up more information on it, but I am completely stumped. If at all possible, I would like to read it again.
