Lex Luthor has been Superman's arch enemy for most of the superhero's existence.

on intellect over strength. Lex Luthor lives in a palatial underground hideout
in Metropolis at the point where he first meets Superman. He was played by Gene Hackman.
Ursa (Sarah Douglas) was a co-conspirator of General Zod during his attempt to take
control of Krypton. She had an unquenchable hatred of all men,
except Zod. Ursa is immune to human illnesses and bullets bounce off her. Ursa is also highly
resistant to energy-based attacks. Kryptonite renders Ursa physically weak and painfully ill.
Lois Lane was a reporter for the Daily Planet. She met Clark Kent when he started working for
the paper in his early 30s. She first encountered Superman, when the Daily
Planet helicopter she was riding in, went out of control and nearly fell off the roof,
with Superman surprising her by flying to her rescue. She was played by Margot Kidder.
Perry White is the Editor-in-Chief of the Metropolis newspaper the Daily Planet. White
maintains very high journalistic standards. He is an archetypal image of the tough,
irascible but fair-minded boss. White is a tough, cigar-smoking boss with
strict ideas about how his employees should operate. He was portrayed by Jackie Cooper.
Actor Aaron Smolinski made his acting debut at the age of 3 playing “Baby Superman”
(infant Clark Kent) in Superman: The Movie. He also returned in Superman II and Superman III.
While growing up in Canada with his parents and brother,
Aaron continued acting doing numerous commercials and movies such as Superman II and Superman III.
Otis was one of Lex Luthor's henchmen, usually portrayed as bumbling and stupid.
Otis is an idiotic fat man with no real intelligence or strength
and is pretty much Luthor's guinea pig. Though no matter how much Luthor abuses or insults him.
He loves to eat which would explain his heavy weight. He was portrayed by Ned Beatty.
Jor-El was a respected scientist from Krypton and husband of Lara and older brother of Zor-El.
He is father of Kal-El, who he sent to Earth so he could save him from the destruction of Krypton
allow him to grow up on another planet as its greatest protector.

at the age of fourteen. East is known for his portrayal of Huckleberry Finn
in the United Artists feature films Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn,
as well as for his portrayal of a teenage Clark Kent in Alexander Salkind's Superman: The Movie.

Along with Ursa he fills out the trio of Zod
and his disciples. Non is a Kryptonian grunt. He is one of the three Kryptonian criminals on trial
for their attempted coup against the Kryptonian government. He was played by Jack O'Halloran.
Vond-Ah was one of Krypton's leading scientists and a member of the Science
Council. She reviewed Jor-El's findings, but didn't support his conclusion. Jor-El
was sure that the planet would be destroyed within 30 days. However,
Vond-Ah insisted that Krypton was merely shifting its orbit. Vond-Ah was portrayed by Maria Schell.

who became the adoptive mother of Superman. One day, while Jonathan and herself were out driving,
they found a three year old boy in a space ship. They adopted him and named him Clark Kent,
after Martha's maiden name. She was portrayed by Phyllis Thaxter.
General Zod (Terence Stamp) is a general in the Kryptonian Army.
Zod had ambitions to take over the planet Krypton and had little respect for the Kryptonian Council,
and as such was banished to the Phantom Zone. Zod is a frequent enemy of Superman,
as, prior to the rebuilding of New Krypton, Zod tried to take over the Earth.
Lara (Susannah York) is Superman's mother, from the planet Krypton. She was married to Jor-El,
a prominent scientist on the Kryptonian council before the planet's destruction.
Lara possessed a vast knowledge of Kryptonian history and culture.
She originally suffered from a genetic defect that bound her to the planet Krypton.

White. He is most well known as being a close personal friend to Superman,
and has a signal watch to call him for help at any time. Jimmy was portrayed by actor Marc McClure.
1st Elder was portrayed by British actor Trevor Howard. Howard was a unique man with
a distinctive acting talent. A rather solitary man, he had few other hobbies
(except, perhaps, a fondness for alcohol, which likely contributed to his death
at the age of 74) and was reputedly modest about his accomplishments as an actor.
Jonathan Kent is the husband of Martha Kent and the adoptive father of Superman,
also known as Clark Kent. Since they were unable to conceive a child of their own,
when the Kents found him as a baby inside of a strange rocket crashed to Earth,
