Reasonable Man
For a mainstream political journal, Reason's got a pretty swell article up about the Superman Mythos.
Not all of those villains are evil in the proper sense of the word (what does "evil" even mean to Bizarro?), and most of them, you'll note, are kind of silly. That's the secret of the Superman stories at their best: They might exude an image of action and straight-arrow values, but the world they're set in can be as absurd as an Alfred Jarry play.
