As iconic as DC Comics superheroes like Batman and Superman are, they wouldn’t be anywhere without their villains. After all, a guy who’s faster than a speeding bullet and can leap tall buildings in a single bound isn’t very interesting if nothing can challenge him. As such, the supervillain has become one of modern comics’ most popular and important aspects. There are tons of supervillains that are just as popular as their heroic counterparts, like the Joker, Lex Luthor, and Cheetah. Many villains are perfectly paired with their heroes, creating interesting dynamics. Others, however, seem a bit mismatched.
The connection between a hero and a villain is important to making a rivalry work. This can take many different forms. Some heroes and villains have a personal connection, having known each other before coming into conflict. Others have a thematic connection, representing conflicting concepts or ideologies. Sometimes, connections only come after the hero and villain have faced off a few times. However, many DC villains don’t have a great connection to their heroes. Shuffling them to other do-gooders could create more interesting stories.
Some writers seem to think a hardened killer like Slade shouldn’t face off with kids, but that is what makes it so interesting. Slade’s rivalry with the Titans and Nightwing was always irrational and pathetic. It is supposed to be ridiculous how much time and effort Slade puts into hunting down the teenagers he blames for ruining his life.
