Here’s a real oldie obscure villain from the 1970s when I was a young guy. Karb-Brac. He was an alien almost as powerful as Superman but he was fatally allergic to Kryptonians. Kind of a tragic villain as he wasn’t really evil. He was just trying to survive. Superman saved his life and gave him a new lease on life. I always appreciated that Superman never gave up on anyone, even enemies.
Now that is obscure. I had to look him up. Once I saw him I had a hazy memory of him as a kid. Good job.
I got to put him next to King Kosmos in the obscure department.
Obsvure, but memorable to me

Maxima in slots 1-10. Just to watch Lois lose her s$$t!!!
Even better, Maxima pulls a “Talia” on Clark.
You really liked this cover didn’t you?
I want him to fight some neonazis, in homage to the 40s.
also, I miss the Underground
Yes I did. I loathe Lois Lane especially as a love interest for Superman. Let alone a wife.

“Madame, if you were my wife I would drink it.” - Winston Churchill
Despite nostalgia I agree. Given the fact that aliens, especially strong ones exist, it is odd that Superman would endanger a human in that way. I loved the Maxima hero arc, and wish SHE was the lasting love interest of Kal.
Have you read “Superman Smashes the Klan” series yet?
Yeah, but they dont have any Swastika tanks for Supes to destroy.
