Description
A sequel. Hopefully at least as good as the previous one.

-Bizarro: An imperfect clone of Superman, created by Brainiac as a last ditch effort to beat the Man of Steel, but kinda... undercooked. Initially looked exactly like Superman, but because he was made to follow orders, lacked his progenitor's morals or agency.

Some time after Brainiac's Skullship was destroyed, the clone arrived on the streets of Metropolis, and came into contact with some crooks from the criminal group, Intergang. They manipulated him into commiting all sorts of crime, all at night, as the clone was in a great deal of pain from comming into contact with sunlight. Of course, Lex Luthor seized the oportunity to use this as evidence to support his smear campaign against Superman, but naturally, Clark wouldn't take this sitting down. He confronted the clone and, in the struggle, it was exposed to daylight. The clone was seemingly defeated as it burned and sank to the bottom of the Metropolis bay.

Although this looked to be the last anyone would see of it, It rose from the depths, almost completely changed: It's skin and clothes had been bleached, and it's powers had been corrupted, now being able to freeze with his gaze and light things on fire with his breath. Moreover, it's mind had been warped. Though somewhat simple at first, now the previous confusion from before he was defeated (Intergang told him that doing bad was good, while Superman told him otherwise) meant that it's sense of logic and morality had been scrambled.

Now the clone has been turned into a very peculiar menace: Instead of commiting destruction and mayhem for it's own gain or amusement, he does it in the name of "Lies, Unfairness, and the Worst Tomorrow Posible". Truly a Bizarre nemesis for the Man of Steel.

-Metallo: Among Lex Luthor's many attempts to portray himself as Metropolis' true hero, big shows of charity were among his favourite strategies. And for his latest one, he'd show he could actually make the lame walk again. For this, he made contact with a former soldier by the name of John Corben.

After a very unfortunate mission on Kasnia, Corben lost both of his legs, leaving him bitter against the world. On top of this, he was angry at Superman. After all, This super powerful, alleged "Hero" didn't show up when bullets and explosions rained on him and his men. This type of resentment was another thing that attracted Luthor to Corben. So they struck a deal: Lex would give him his legs back, and Lex only asked him to beat Superman into submission for him.

Corben was too happy to comply, and thus went under the knife. When he woke up, he had a new pair of legs, spine and arms, made of a metal developed by Lex himself, so far only known as "Metal-0", plus some weapons powered by the much more snapily named "Kryptonite", and was out to do his job. And he came close. In fact, thus far he had come the closest to finishing Superman off. But he still failed, and was angry and disapointed. In his eyes, he just wasn't strong enough to beat his enemy. He broke into Lexcorp, and demanded Lex to upgrade him. Unbeknownst to Corben, Lex counted on him seeking further upgrades, and after signing some more papers, he went under the knife once again.

Now, John Corben was almost completely gone, his brain know being housed inside a body made out of Metal-0, powered entirely by Kryptonite, and disguised by artificial flesh. It was time for round two.

With his new body, Corben, now presenting himself as "Metallo" once again beat Superman, this time, within an inch of his life. But once again, Supes porved himself to be too clever for the berzerk cyborg. He defeated Metallo, and sent him straight into Stryker's Penintentiary.

By now, as Corben's synthetic skin has been torn off, his humanity has continued to erode. Formerly a free agent, he has mostly become an ally of either Lex Luthor or anyone else willing to pay for his services. After all, Metallo's Kryptonite heart and physical strenght makes him one of Superman's most formidable foes. He doesn't care who pays him or tells him to do whatever, as long as it involves inching closer to the day he kills Superman, Metallo is allways ready and willing.

-Toyman: A decade or so ago, Winslow P. Schott had a stellar reputation as one of Metropolis' most lovable public figures. Not only was he a skilled toymaker, able to manufacture the most spectacular of children's playthings, he also had a good reputation with children. They loved him and he loved them back. And this allowed him to raise a sort of media empire as "The Toyman", friend to all children, and weaver of dreams.

Or so it seemed. Around the same time, there had been a rash of child disapearences, a suspicious amount happening around Toyman's factories and amusement parks. This, combined with the fact that Schott fit a particular profile (Overweight, middle aged manchild with a fondness for children and toys) meant that Winslow was the prime suspect of this affair. The people, who once saw him as a jolly, Santa Claus type, now saw him as a creep, and turned their backs against him. The law got in their side, and shortly after, Winslow was sent to prision, his empire now in the hands of his former partner, Jack Nimball, and soon, now that the culprit had seemingly been sent to justice, tried to move on.

But recently, a new string of dissapearences begun anew, and now Superman was in on the case. At the same time, there had been a series of attempts against Nimball's life, all made by, as strange as it may sound, killer toys. Supes figured both were connected, and the trail led him to some sort of underground factory/amusment park.

The park was led by children, many of them among the ones who had disappearedm but they didn't show signs of being mistreated or distressed. In fact, they were having fun. Their leader and the man behind the murder attempts was none other than Winslow Schott.

It turned out that Winslow had been innocent all along, and the real culprit had been Jack Nimball, who framed Winslow in the hopes that, not only would he escape jail, but also inherit his media empire. Winslow managed to escape, and enlisted the aid of several children to help him get revenge. The children didn't know of this. As far as they knew, they were only there to have fun and, ocassionally, aid "Mister Toyman" in his workshop. Schott didn't see anything wrong in kidnapping. In his eyes, he was taking children away from mean adults (The same ones who had condemmed him) and into a world where no one would harm them, and have fun forever.

Thanks to Superman, though, his vision never came to be. His plans against Kimball were thwarted, Kimball himself went to jail, thanks to an expose by Lois Lane, and the children went home to their parents. As for Winslow, he went back to jail for child endangerment, kidnapping and (Attempted) murder. Almost the same ones he wento to prision for in the first place. And although it seems like he's there for good now, it is very unlikely that Toyman's crusade to liberate children from the cruelty of adults has been anything else but momentarily put on pause.
