Parasite

While the new 52 origin of Parasite is a bit hard to bring to life in the DCEU, the Man of Steel sequel can still use the Rudy Jones version of the supervillain. And this falls nicely within the known DCEU plans, with Darkseid having an active role in the transformation of the janitor into an energy-draining villain.

Of course, if Parasite will be used in the Man of Steel sequel, there will be some casualties. Furthermore, given the comic book history of the character, I don’t see how funny this movie can be.

But maybe it isn’t the darkness of the DCEU that has alienated so many fans. Maybe the scripts are to blame. And I do believe that this rather tragic supervillain can be brought to life by a proper writer.

How will this version of Superman deal with him? I do want to find out.
