Top Ten Reasons Why Superman Sucks

The Top Ten
1 Superman has no personality

Yup! I mean like, who would want to watch a show about a perfect man, with a perfect life, fighting crime so he can have his perfect world? Batman has personality- I love that on the outside he's flawless (and proud- but we love his arrogance! ), but on the inside he's Super sensitive and secretive. Grow up superman, we want some action!

Superman gets to much hate He is a good person and he has flaws He knows he can't save everyone but in the end knows he can't He cares about human kind and is not just a bland good guy plus like I mentioned he cured cancer

Even Kirito from Sword Art Online has his flaws! He's overpowered in the virtual world, but not as strong as in the real world. This is why I prefer anime over Superman.

This guy is as bland as they come. He's just a generic good guy who wants to do everything right. Come on, give him some flaws.

2 He's overpowered

This is what makes him boring

Yeah. There isn't enough struggle.

Wow very overpowered

OP Hero = Boring fight = WE ALL KNOW WHO WILL WIN!

3 Superman was born perfect
4 He wears his underwear outside
5 Superman defeats his smartest enemies without strategy

I swear in about 90% of fights I see him in I find a way to stop the villain like an hour before superman does and it drives me crazy (I auctally like Superman but this part drives me crazy)

6 Superman doesn't receive proper character development

Even Kirito from Sword Art Online had proper change in behavior for his character development!

Original Superman is all the same. He doesn't change his behavior(because he's "perfect").
Though,he is much more tolerable in new shows and comic books, he has flaws(in a good way).

7 He ridiculously involves his love life with saving the world

Yeah, in Dawn of Justice, and the other movies, he seemed to prioritize saving his girlfriend/wife above countless people. He could have stopped the Earthquake from ever happening at all in Superman: The Movie, but all he did time travel for in that movie was for Lois, nothing else.

8 He's unrealistic

Spider-man is also a super hero but he is in a way realistic.Why? Because he actually shows weakness his life as Peter Parker. He's not the best in everything, his troubles are realistic. Not to mention he actually had developments in his personality( For example when he lost Harry or Gwen.)
The same thing can be said about some other super heroes.( Wolverine,Ironman,etc)

Seriously? A fictional character and super hero who is unrealistic is realistic, no? Unrealistic compared to... Spider-Man? Pokemon? Your father and friends?

And that is why I prefer Batman. Superman has some realistic features (in Injustice) but Batman has more

Are superheroes supposed to be realistic?

9 He is a fascist
10 He's boring
The Contenders
11 Superman's power-ups don't make sense

Why? The answer is Plot. He becomes strong because of the plot. He has already defeated the strong guys so the writer adds an even stronger enemy in order to give Superman a cheap power-up,without proper explanation.

12 Superman gets stronger effortlessly
13 Superman is one-dimensional

He's such an one-dimensional character. He's dull.

14 He is unrelatable
15 He is wimpy

Even in silver age when he was getting powers left and right, he gets destroyed by some robots and Luthor

16 Inconsistent

The only character who has been rebooted a gazillion times and never with any proper canon story.

17 He's pathetic
18 His backstory barely adds anything to his character

Imagine hypothetically that his father was a scientist and gave him his powers before he dies and superman got adopted later on.

the only difference we would see to his character would be that he will hate brainiac less and maybe some villains would not want to abdact him because he is"the last cryptonian"everything else would be pretty much the same.(also his relationship with his girlfriend would be less creepry since it would not be beastiality anymore.)

19 He is uninspiring
