*CompleteMonster:
** [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Empress Gandelo]] is the monstrous head of the Trilium Empire. Gandelo is a delusional KnightTemplar with [[AGodAmI a god complex]] and plans to purge the universe of all she deems a potential threat. To this end, she purges entire planets, including Colu, of all life. Gandelo also sent Rogol Zaar to wipe out Krypton and its inhabitants and later sends him to [[FinalSolution purge the universe of all surviving Kryptonians]], including wiping out the city of Kandor. In addition, she secretly bankrolls Harry Hokum's horrific actions and experiments to get rid of [[Characters/SupergirlTheCharacter Kara Zor El]]. Upon being confronted by Supergirl, Gandelo mocks her and gleefully attempts to psychologically break her. A raging egomaniac behind her hollow rhetoric of making the universe safer, Gandelo is even willing to let her loyal citizens die en masse if it means slowing down Supergirl.
** Issues #25-28: [[BadBoss Harry Hokum]] is a human who somehow ended up in the Vega star system and rose to become the leader of the fascistic Citadel. Under his leadership, the Citadel wages a bloody CivilWar involving a rebellion led by the Omega Men, with entire worlds and races killed by the Citadel. Hokum {{blackmail}}s Empress Gandelo into giving him the right to strip mine Krypton's remains by threatening to expose her involvement in its destruction, using technology he scavenged in experiments that left his personal laboratory filled with remains of vivisected aliens. When he captures Supergirl, Hokum takes her DNA to create a clone army to destroy the rebellion while throwing her in a labor camp. Luring the Omega Men with clones of their fallen comrades, Hokum uses clones to learn the location of their base and unleash deformed Supergirl clones on them.

Broken Aesop is not YMMV.


* BrokenAesop: Empress Gandelo's rants about the Kryptonian race being a danger to the universe that needed to be exterminated are treated as an evil monster's excuses and justifications... except that most of post-1986 storylines involving Krypton in both comics and other media have given the message that the universe dodged a bullet when Krypton blew up. From Byrne's reboot onward, Superman's homeworld has been consistently depicted as a dystopia inhabited by arrogant, prideful, short-sighted, power-hungry assholes who are prone to conquer and abuse weaker races, with ''only'' [[Franchise/{{Superman}} two]] [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} exceptions]] being ''usually'' decent people. And even so, Superman's goodness is treated as something stemming solely from his Earth upbringing, and the ''Injustice'' continuity treats Superman as a weak-willed, self-entitled tyrant who is one wife away from snapping and enslaving mankind.
