* MagnificentBastard: The [[KnightTemplar Superman clone]] was created by ComicBook/{{Lex Luthor}} to assist him in his takeover of Metropolis. Inheriting the fallen Man of Steel's powers, the clone uses them to trick the populace into thinking Superman has resurrected, while instilling his own brand of vigilante justice by way of furiously dropping Toyman in front of the police station after he killed a child during his escape from custody. Believing that MightMakesRight, while instilling fear in the populace in a genuine attempt to bring peace to Metropolis, the clone, wanting to break free of Luthor's control over him, secretly takes out a kryptonite pellet Luthor had implanted in his brain as a failsafe, destroys his room of Superman clones, and incapacitates Luthor by pulling out the entire safe room he's hiding in and chucking it into the street. Getting into a power struggle with the revived Superman, the clone puts up a good fight, ultimately dying after telling Superman to [[LastRequest protect his fellow townsfolk]].

** Toyman ''killed a child''. This is horrifying enough on its own, but it also becomes the catalyst for clone Superman's StartOfDarkness, as he decides to make an example of Toyman and stays in that mindset for the rest of the film.
** [[spoiler:Clone Superman walking into a random barber shop and ''performing brain surgery on himself.'']]
** When Clone Superman rescues the cat, you're not sure if he's gonna return the cat to the old lady or ''kill it in front of her''.

* CompleteMonster: [[PsychopathicManchild Toyman]] is a criminal with an unhealthy obsession with children who views the entire world as his plaything. Taking advantage of Superman's death, Toyman uses a [[SpiderTank giant robot spider]] to rob banks, then uses the robot to take a [[BusFullOfInnocents school bus full of children hostage]], threatening to [[WouldHurtAChild drop the bus off a building]] if the cops don't let him keep the money. ComicBook/LoisLane manages to save most of the kids, but a robot toy on the bus prevents her and one of the children from leaving. Seeing that most of the children he kidnapped have escaped, Toyman attacks Lois and the child. Toyman's robot throws the bus off the building with Lois and the child on board before being captured. Toyman quickly [[spoiler:escapes from the police and attacks a day care center, where he kills a four-year-old]].

* CompleteMonster: In this AnimatedAdaptation of ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman'', [[PsychopathicManchild Toyman]], a psychopath with an unhealthy obsession with children, is the most repulsive villain in the film, despite being a secondary villain. After Superman seemingly dies, a crime wave hits Metropolis and Toyman uses a [[SpiderTank giant robot spider]] to rob banks, then uses the robot to take a [[BusFullOfInnocents school bus full of children hostage]] and [[WouldHurtAChild threatens to drop the bus off a building]] if the cops don't let him keep the money he stole. Lois Lane manages to save most of the kids, but a robot toy on the bus prevents her and one of the children from leaving. Seeing that most of the children he kidnapped have escaped, Toyman attacks Lois and the child. Toyman's robot throws the bus off the building with Lois and the child on board. Lois and the child are saved by a seemingly returned Superman--really a Superman clone--who easily defeats and captures Toyman. Toyman quickly escapes from the police and attacks a day care center. The police manage to subdue him, but not before Toyman kills a 4-year-old girl. Upon hearing this, the Superman clone becomes enraged and confronts the recently recaptured Toyman. Toyman complains that [[ItsAllAboutMe Superman is violating his rights]] and the Superman clone responds by dropping Toyman to his death. Toyman was such a vile excuse for a human being, that after dealing with him, the Superman clone snapped and went from a decent hero to a KnightTemplar.
