Brian Bendis had a lot to say about the new Superman Synmar villain, featured on Superman # 25 in September.
“We thought, you know, that we have a Superman # 25, it’s a great double-size anniversary theme. What a great opportunity to put the new toy in Superman’s toy box and create a villain. We thought it wouldn’t be great to create a villain whose mindset is so different from anything he has seen on Earth or anything that Superman relates to. This is a person that there is nowhere that the Superman can relate to, so he has to go back to give a different idea a set of ways to deal with this. Not only that, well, I’ll hit him in the face and see how it works. Let’s take a step back and see how we can handle an adversary of ignorance. We don’t understand each other We are going to solve it and we have no way to communicate, not physically we are going to find a way to communicate. So I thought it would be an interesting way to celebrate Superman, what does he bring that no other superhero can bring, and if this villa does not reveal it, you have also created a new villain. “
