I feel like I should remind you that there was an actual comic book story arc where KFC’s founder (Harland Sanders) travelled the multiverse to recruit his counterparts in order to defeat his evil doppelgänger.
Read dark Knights metal, or if nothing else the one shots of the origins of all the evil Batman versions of the justice league. Red death replaces the flash, murder machine replaces cyborg, the drowned replaces aquaman, the merciless replaces Wonder Woman, the dawnbreaker replaces green lantern, devastator replaces Superman and the Batman who laughs replaces Batman. They’re all led by barbatos or something. The actual storyline honestly was too much for me to follow, I didn’t really understand the whole thing but I was younger and read less comics than I have now, so I’ll give it another shot and hopefully make more sense of it but it’s still really good. The origins of all the evil Batman versions are so freaking, well, metal.
So basically when Superman is good, he's a shining beacon to all life that deep down we can all be better. But when Superman is bad, he's a prime example that deep down the choice for evil is rather easy when you give in.
And these are just the actual canon versions. There's plenty of examples beyond DC, like Homelander (The Boys), Omni-Man (Invincible), The Plutonian (Irredeemable), and the kid from Brightburn.
Plus the only version of evil superman from the Dark multi verse they used was one killed by doomsday batman. There are others as well although I don't know if any of them got the same level of backstory since the whole Dark multi verse was mostly focused on Batman.
@@metazoxan2 There were three I saw in Batman Metal when they were holding Batman hostage. One where Superman had on Lex Luthor's Battlesuit. One where Superman killed the Batman of his timeline to take on his role, and some blue one with cosmic powers.

Because he's basically the same as "Injustice" superman. They were trying to give a variety of evil Superman rather than all of them being "Superman if he decided to stop playing nice".
Crazy how much weight is thrown at Superman's regime in the comics that it's able to withstand and survive before it's taken down. Fully weight of the Green Lantern Corps. Olympic mythological gods. Stuff way more powerful than the Earth one Justice League that eventually took him down. It can kind of make the actual ending feel anticlimactic. But the narrative of evil heroes being beaten by the heroes they once were is pretty much the perfect way to end that story even if it did feel a little small scale in comparison to previous threats to the regime.
@@FDALl-ms5kg Yeah, they were released concurrently, but the comic series gave them more time to invest in the premise, and it seemed like they really went full tilt.
Batman beat Superman every year but then some idiotic thing came to mess it up. I was most mad at the dream thing not working, ragman not working, and Wonder Woman not killing Superman because none of those scenarios had any way for Superman to escape. Similar to red son when Superman only escaped because of Wonder Woman and made an enemy of her in the process
One of Superman's Marvel copy is called Hyperion. An evil version of him, known as "King Hyperion" decided to take over the world. He killed everyone who opposed him. It didn't matter if they come alone or in groups. The X-Men, Avengers, Thor, Hercules, Galactus... all died. With their heroes dead, and their armies decimated, the humans of Earth refused to yield. They choose death over slavery and destroyed the surface of the planet with a massive nuclear barrage. Ironically, the attack killed everything on the planet, save for Hyperion himself, who became the god-emperor... of a radioactive dustball.
The high counsel Superman is probably the best example of this, considering how he murdered people, such as Shazam, Black Canary, and Green Arrow (just the first three that come to mind, though there are more), and then joining the yellow lanterns, making him partially responsible for the death of Guy Gardener, and forcing everyone to do exactly as he sees fit. He of course reveals Batman's identity, is responsible for the death of billions (hi Mogo), and manipulated people into helping him with his regime. The storyline is so hooking and I love it. 10/10 on the reason as to why he snapped aswell, with Lois and his unborn child dying at his own hands. The death of Joker was a shocker, and Harley Quinn's redemption seemed impossible until it happened. The Injustice storyline is, in my opinion, the most hooking alternate universe in DC history. 5 stars.
@@bearjuncture agreed and honestly it just drives me insane that we haven't gotten at least a Superman family animated movie with my boy Jonathan Samuel Kent superboy learning from his dad clark kent superman and Lois lane how to be a great hero because there's so much story potential to see that actually get adapted into a animated movie at least in my opinion.
@@TevyaSmolka I’ve got to be honest with you I never like Lois lane I always felt she was worthless, and I could never figure out how she became pregnant I mean literally Superman can bench press a moon

Also it suggests that there are almost more versions of Superman in the multi-verse as a bad guy then there are that he’s good… Which suggests statistically that superman is just one Lois Lane death away from being evil…Honestly that’s just bad for the brand
to be fair to the writers, when you have such a powerful character it is hard to do much other than have him deal with morality since there are only so many ways you can write him almost losing.
@@saadmalik9206 he’s not omnipotent or all powerful, that said he just requires deeper story lines that. Look at the JL animated series they aren’t all power centric battles.
@@saadmalik9206 personally I think he's at his best in Justice League stories as basically the cavalry arriving. It's always just so awesome seeing everyone else beaten down and then you see the S and it fills you with this hopefulness and reinvigorates the fight for the heros. That's my opinion anyway
They've probably reconned all aspects of "Crisis On Infinite Earths", but in the very 1st issue, Ultraman & the Crime Syndicate actually have a redemption arc. A very short one & probably not even completely altruistic, but it's there. As their Earth/universe is obliterated by the Anti-Monitor, the Syndicate actually teams up w/the heroic Luther to save it all. They don't, but they gave it their all. Even as Ultraman, Kal cannot resist playing hero, going so far to stop the expanding antimatter blastwave, though he knows he will die regardless. Great guy!...🤩
Several of these Supermen aren't evil at all. In fact they're so incredibly good that they triumph over the indoctrination of Nazism, Communism, Darkseid, etc. and still bring peace and justice to their universes.
Justice League heroes: What are we supposed to do now that our strongest ally turns evil? Batman: We need Son Goku. Green Lantern: I’ll go search the universe for him.
Kinda says something when Justice Lord Superman, the one whose go-to solution for dealing with problematic people was a heat vision lobotomy, didn't even make the list...
I thiught that the thumbnail was from the injustice Since once he used the yellow Lantern power ring, the would was so fearful of him that even guardians couldn't phase him
Actually Superman was right at least in the initial parts of the Injustice. Superman- "I took one life to save millions" Batman- "All it takes is just one step and once the line is crossed, there's no going back" In a nutshell, it requires utmost self control and determination to fight for justice when you know you may have to take some expedient steps just for the greater good
The slippery slope arguement only works when there's no self control over such actions. saying "okay, if they kill as many people as the joker, they gotta die" is a pretty high bar.

How could they do this to Superman? Such a kind and gentle soul. Don't they know kids read and/or watch DC contents? What happens if my children turn out evil like these Superman? Many kids look up to Superman. I'm very disappointed. They should've just come up with an entire different name and person for a a character like this. It's not that hard. Instead they want to use an established named and character ruining the good name and reputation of who Superman is. Very disappointed in DC.
Justice Lords Superman from the Justice League animated series of the 2000s. Superman: Red Son Superboy-Prime at one point took the title of Superman-Prime. But with of without the "man" part, he was partly responsible for both Infinite Crisis and the Sinestro Corps War.
@@theonlyethanhiroshiki wow. Complete 180 from your last response. At least admit you fucked up when you insulted me and said he isn't evil.

@@blakguyfromfortnite9340 He did, but ultimately he only wanted what was best for our world. I will admit that he his ways are completely unacceptable but the outcome of his rule only saved more lives. Plus he did bring ever lasting peace to our world. He did manage to defeat the greatest threats to the planet keeping our world safe eventhough it was through fear, we were safe under his rule. What can Batman do if Darkseid returns with his Invasion fleet? NOTHING. What can Superman do? EVERYTHING.
What about red son superman too also I would love to see doomsday and superman fused together make more powerful beast type character instead of Batman as the devastator one. Fantastic job on the video what culture
*a new superman story begins*
*jor-el and lara sending ship to earth speedrun*
don't forget, the Red Kryptonite also can make Superman turns evil temporary...
1:50 This is just the plot of DMC 5 OMG
How could they do this to Superman? Such a kind and gentle soul. Don't they know kids read and/or watch DC contents? What happens if my children turn out evil like these Superman? Many kids look up to Superman. I'm very disappointed. They should've just come up with an entire different name and person for a a character like this. It's not that hard. Instead they want to use an established named and character ruining the good name and reputation of who Superman is. Very disappointed in DC.
Guys, I think we all know that Injustice was going to take the 1st place.
No, most people would expect Superboy Prime to be number 1.
Evil supermen in few words:
- Superman lost his shit
- alternative/clone Superman
- Superman got brainwashes/corrupted
Justice Lords Superman from the Justice League animated series of the 2000s.
Superman: Red Son
Superboy-Prime at one point took the title of Superman-Prime. But with of without the "man" part, he was partly responsible for both Infinite Crisis and the Sinestro Corps War.
@@theonlyethanhiroshiki right. Because using a lobotomizing device to take away free will and make slaves in your totalitarian regime is NOT evil. Smh
@@theonlyethanhiroshiki did you even read the whole comic? If you answered no, then look in the mirror to see something that is really stupid.
@@theonlyethanhiroshiki wow. Complete 180 from your last response. At least admit you fucked up when you insulted me and said he isn't evil.
Or do you think that Red Son Superman gets a free pass despite being a overzealous dictator, whom in some ways is worse than Stalin? If you answered yes, than you're both immoral and stupid.
@@theonlyethanhiroshiki don't bother replying. You bore me anyhow. 😴
Adding Yellow Lantern ring to Superman is like thinking a turbo sticker makes your car faster.
Homelander is the high councilor Superman in the boys
Omniman may not technically be a superman clone heck he doesnt even have lazer vision but he needs to be mentioned
They forget about Red Sun. The version of superman that became a communist dictator
I'd predicted he'd be #2 before injustice Superman but they totally forgot him
@@kenkei.mwaniki They didn't forget. They just chose to highlight the lesse known Nazi Superman instead. Since both are basically the same idea with Superman being raised by a Russian or Nazi dictator they didn't include both.
@@metazoxan2 Red Sun is way cooler though (pun intended)😂
@@kenkei.mwaniki nice
They should've added Brightburn to this list.
What Culture: High Council Superman is most evil
Me: Have you seen Invincible?
Well Omni Man does not count as he's no DC
After watching Invincible I understand why Batman is paranoid by Superman and Many more
How dare you say Bizarro is evil! He’s precious! He loves puppies! ;D;
They forgot brandon bryer and Homelander
Also omni man but those characters arent from DC
The Superman who laughs.
Everybody is gangster until superman gets angry
Injustice Superman suffers so much man
Amen dude
You showed us the supermans that were evil for a while then turned to be a great person
Superboy Prime?
It's 3am, I have school at 8:30am. My priorities are no more for this video calls me
So injustice wasn't the only continuity where Superman gained yellow lantern powers.
Why isn't Red Sun's Communist Superman on this list? Is it a political problem to!? ( WhatCulture Comics) don't speak bad of Leftwing?
Never thought lex luther would safe everyone
hi William
I feel like Superman would be broken with a red lantern ring especially in the injustice universe
1.Superboy-Prime
1:45 So now i know where did they get the idea for Supergirl CW show bar peanut scene.
The most evil version of Superman? "Wakes Up on Wrong Side of the Bed" Superman.
I thought bizzaro was from an alternate universe where everything is the opposite and not a “clone”.
Thankfully, this list doesn't include Superman-Prime, who became a whiny halfwit murderer, as evidence in Countdown to Final Crisis.
how is Superman (Superboy) Prime not on this list? he's one of my favorite characters but i know there are a lot of haters out there
I wonder where does Nolan Sorrento from Ready Player One fit in this list.
Most evil superman.
Homelander: Hold my beer, joker.
Remember when in Justice League his eyes followed Flash in full speed? That was terrifying!
Dude, the "Devastator" is giving me the creeps. I'm scared.
You forgot Justice Lord Superman from the DCAU.
Sinestro Corps Superman is scary af
No Superman: Red Son? No Justice Lords Superman?
Red Son was more of an AntiHero
Bizarro is really more destructive unintentionally, more than evil.
I like to think that Superman 3 is the first time bizarro was on screen
2:31 - KNEEL before Zod! | 9:17 - It took five years, but it started with one bad day.
How could they not include Justice Lord Superman?
Whats the Name of The Comic book Form Overman :D
You missed the dark multiverse version Kill-All
