and that's why you failall you need to do to create a great villian is this
Make the villian attack the heroes emotional weaknesses
Make the villian force superman to make choices that reveal to the audience the nature of supermans character.
Make the villian personal
Make the villian want the same as the hero
Make the villians Stronger than your hero
Make the villian force superman into a
Wiser or changed person
This simple yet sophisticated formula will create a great antagonist(especially if the actor and the backstory and the dialogue is great) -

If Luthor was done RIGHT, he would be an awesome villain.
But Luthor has never been done right, except for fleeting minutes here and there on selected movies and teevee shows.
Usually Luthor has been done as a lame-ass cocktail lounge comedian and low-rent real estate schemer. The Eisenberg version was mainly a Ledger-Joker wannabe.
Actually, the best Lex Luthor ever was Mark Strong as Lord Blackwood in "Sherlock Holmes."- You ever seen Superman $#$# his pants? Case closed.

Solomon Grundy is more a original Green Lantern Gotham villain.
Brainwave is not exactly a Superman villain although his powers could be troublesome for nearly anyone, I suppose.
I think the Parasite and some version of Toyman would be the way to go. Also there's always the Kryptonite Man.
"Need" is just a fiction. As is "should", "must", "value" and "importance".
