3. The Puzzler

Why do so many people think they can fight Superman? You aren’t gonna win. Look, I know I just did this bit about Professor Milo and Batman, but I clearly should have looked ahead, because it is far more applicable here.

The Puzzler made his debut by kidnapping Lois Lane. When Superman showed up, Puzzler challenged Superman to…a game of checkers! For some reason, Superman actually did this, rather than just throat punching Puzzles at Mach 4. Superman noticed that the villain was cheating, because of f***ing course he was, so he defeated him by…cheating better? Look, the older comics get, the weirder they get. And this dude first appeared in Action Comics #49. That’s only, like, 30 issues after Lex Luthor’s debut.

He would later return with a great plan: Murder…But with puns!! After beating a poker player to death with a fireplace poker, and sending a bridge champion’s car off a bridge, he was foiled as he attempted to murder a blackjack player with a blackjack.

Superman beat him, handily.
