[[WMG:[[center:[-''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' '''[[Characters/{{Superman}} Main Character Index]]'''\\

A [[Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian Conan-esque]] barbarian with super strength, brought from the ancient world to the present by General Sam Lane to use against Superman. Started his career as a hero, but now pretty solidly a JerkAss. Created by Creator/JackKirby, revived after a long hiatus by [[Comicbook/StarmanDCComics James Robinson]].

* AntiHero / AntiVillain: He started out as a hero in his own ancient era, but started becoming more of an arrogant jerk once he'd actually defeated his archenemy [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast King Hyssa]] and was feeling restless. James Robinson describes him as a hot-blooded [[Comicbook/SubMariner Namor]]-type who can seem either heroic or villainous depending on the situation.
* LongBusTrip: Prior to his fight with Superman, Atlas's only previous appearance had been in ''1st Issue Special'' #1 published by DC in 1975. He was created by Creator/JackKirby. [[Comicbook/StarmanDCComics James Robinson]] brought him back to fight Superman in 2008, 33 years later!

* KillAllHumans: Tried to blow up both Earths 1 & 2 in one [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] story, an act that would have resulted in the deaths of all humans in those two universes.

* DirtyCommies: Renounced his American citizenship to work for communist forces behind the Iron Curtain, after he was caught and convicted of selling top secret information to foreign powers

Lex Luthor's counterpart in the AlternateUniverse of Earth-2. He vexed the Earth-2 Superman for decades as a MadScientist and war profiteer. Unlike Lex, Alexei was from Eastern Europe and had a full head of red hair, but was otherwise very similar. In the ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths, he was killed by Brainiac for questioning his plans while Lex smugly looked on.

* AssholeVictim: His execution at the hands of Brainiac, given that he was one of the few villains in the collective who actually rivaled Brainiac in nastiness. That, and Brainiac doesn't need ''two'' Luthors in the team.

* DeflectorShield: Blanque can encase himself in a personal, telekinetic shield strong enough to withstand blows from Superman.

* BaldOfEvil: Is bald and several strange tubes running into his skull.

* {{Cyborg}}: Bloodthirst is apparently is cybernetic in form. His body has several tubes connected to it, and he also has bizarre pores on his arms and legs, which spew green gasses.

* NighInvulnerable: Bloodthirst has high degree of invulnerability.
* ForTheEvulz: He enjoys creating chaos, strife, and destruction for no reason.

* TakeThat: He's an [[UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks angry, violent, 1990's]] guy with giant shoulder pads and a [[OurWeaponsWillBeBoxyInTheFuture big, weirdly rectangular gun]] whose costume consists of cables covering his body, who attacks with cables, and whose ''name'' means cable. It's hard not to suspect this villain is a Take That directed at Marvel's [[WolverinePublicity then-enormously popular]] character Characters/{{Cable|NathanSummers}}.

* MundaneUtility: Uses his magic hat to uses the hat to conjure various alcoholic drinks.

* DisabilityImmunity: During ''[[ComicBook/JokersLastLaugh Last Laugh]]'', Hellgrammite was shown to be immune to Characters/BlackCanary's '[[MakeMeWannaShout canary cry]]' because he doesn't have ears.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Hfuhruhurr's greatest experiment was the creation of Eon, a physical manifestation of all the minds that existed within the Union. However, after a confrontation with Superman, the Union was able to acknowledge that what Hfuhruhurr was doing was wrong, and assured Superman that Eon would keep Hfuhruhurr in check in future.

* TakeAThirdOption: After the Union reject Hfuhruhurr's commands, Superman is left uncomfortable with the question of what to do with him, as he obviously doesn't want to kill Hfuhruhurr but can't imagine any court qualified to sentence him for his actions. Eon, the living manifestation of the Union, offers an alternative where the Union will use Eon to keep Hfuhruhurr in check in future, only bringing in those minds who are near death and will join them willingly.

* PoisonousPerson: Two-fold; He emits kryptonite radiation and his touch [[MakeThemRot necrotizes flesh.]]

* AntagonisticOffspring: Views itself as Superman's son, having been born within his body. It also blames Superman for trying to excise it.

* SuperpowerLottery: Has all of Superman's abilities, plus a few more.

* CloningBlues: Being a clone gave him disadvantages, primarily his powers.

* DraggedOfToHell: Its apparent end is being manipulated by a demonic Guy Gardner into taking his place as DomainHolder of a corner of Hell poking out in Pokolistan called The Gorge. It does this so Superman doesn't have to after he showed concern for its well-being by refusing to kill it to protect his secret identity from the Russian Zod.

* CloneDegeneration: Does not look even remotely human.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: The Joker and Luthor's murder of him easily falls into this territory. When Alex came back as a Black Lantern his attempt at killing Superboy-Prime, after pointing out to him that he's nothing more than an in-joke also qualified.

* AssholeVictim[=/=]KickTheSonOfABitch: His execution at the hands of Brainiac was very much this, given that he was one of the few villains in the collective who actually rivaled Brainiac in nastiness. That, and Brainiac doesn't need ''two'' Luthors in the team.

* {{Golem}}: As the name implies, it is a science-fiction version of a golem.

* CoDragons: To the Russian Zod, alongside Faora.

* AcidAttack: Acid Master's attack are based around acids.
* AmmoBackpack: Wears a tank on his back to fuel his acid firing gun.

->'''AKA:''' Joe Meach
->'''First Appearance:''' ''World's Finest'' #142 (June, 1964)
->''"The world thinks that Superman and Batman and Robin perished today... And they did, for those three careers are ended! Remember, if you ever don costumes again, I'll shout your identities to the world!"''

Lifelong failure Joseph Meach had his life saved by Superman, who also got him a job at the Superman Museum. Meach didn't like owing so much to Superman, and grew to hate Superman for his power and accomplishments. One night at the Museum a bolt of lightning struck the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes display. The 30th century duplicator machine that had made the display also imbued the statuettes with the powers of the Legion, and when lightning hit the statuettes, the powers were transferred to Meach. He vowed to use his power to humiliate and destroy Batman and Superman, and using Chameleon Boy's shapeshifting powers he changed himself into the Composite Superman. He defeated the Batman/Superman team, and after learning their secret identities threatened to expose them unless they retired. As Batman and Superman were on the verge of giving in to the Composite Superman, his powers wore off and he lost his memory of his activities as the Composite Superman. Over the years, Meach's powers would sporadically return.

* AllYourPowersCombined: Possesses the combined powers of the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes.
* ChestInsignia: Has a chest insignia that is half the Superman S, and half the Bat-symbol.
* GoodColorsEvilColors: His hair, skin, and costume result in a combination of GreenAndMean and RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver. Ironically, his costume also has blue and yellow, which along with red normally ascribe to PrimaryColorChampion.
* LightningCanDoAnything: Gained his powers when lightning struck the statuettes of the Legion and transferred the powers imbued in them to him.
* TwoFaced: His supervillain form is split down the middle: being Superman on the right, and Batman on the left.

Introduced in an arc shortly after ''ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime'' and returned in ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfClarkKent.'' He was one of Clark Kent's friends in high school, but he grew increasingly jealous over Clark always overshadowing him in sports. He was also berated by his father for always coming in second place. He grew up to be a mercenary, and developed the ability to channel energy, including kryptonite radiation. He discovered Clark's secret and kidnapped him, accusing him of using his powers to cheat back when they were kids. Clark protested that he did not have his powers back then, but Kenny refused to listen and challenged him to a fight in an arena full of Kryptonite. Clark pushed past the pain and defeated him with his superior fighting skill. Furious, Kenny tried to absorb the electricity powering the arena, but overloaded and died. Despite the hell Kenny had put him through, Clark mourned the loss of his old friend.
