DC Universe animated villains through the generations

Various DC Universe animated series have featured iconic villains that have left a lasting impact on audiences across generations. Notable figures include Lex Luthor from ‘Superman: The Animated Series’ (1996), who utilized intelligence and influence rather than superpowers to oppose the hero.
