Beyond Brainiac: A NEWER villain for Season 8

[NotFadeAway]

I don't agree with bringing in Doomsday at all. You can't have a Clark-Doomsday two minute fight with Clark winning by jabbing an ice chunk through his heart.

I here by nominate Colin Thornton A.K.A Satanus and also the publisher of Newstime magazine

Lord Satanus

The Demon War storyline[1] introduced Blaze's brother Lord Satanus (possibly named after pre-Crisis magician/villain Lord Satanis). Lord Satanus also resembled a traditional demon, save that he wore a heavy Roman-style helmet, and either had black skin or the helmet buried his face in shadow.

They fought for possession of Blaze's domain, using Superman as a pawn. At the end of the story it was revealed that Satanus was disguised as Colin Thornton, the publisher of Newstime magazine, who first appeared in Nov 1989, and had previously hired Clark Kent as editor.
