Well, to be completely fair, it was a clone made of him against his consent that was designed to beat him and - if I'm remembering right - was masterminded by Luthor himself. So can you really blame Superman for being just a LITTLE suspicious, especially when his own COUSIN was used against him at one point by Supervillains who brainwashed her into being evil? He went a bit far, true, but I don't think the distrust and dislike was unwarranted. It's kinda like how sometimes mothers of "Rape-Babies" can come to despise the kid because of what they represent. Is it fair on the kid? Of course not. But is it at least understandable? Yeah, of course it is. And people don't always do the logical thing...and hell, if they DID always do the logical, fore-planning thing, you either get an awesome character like Soundwave or - more likely - an equally boring character like Batman. *shrug*<br/><br/><br/>And on the note of Justice Lord Superman, that seems to be the go-to to making Superman "interesting" these days. "I know...what if...and stay with me here...Superman was evil?!"<br/>I don't really like Superman all that much - I find him to be a largely boring character and, in most of the media I've seen, he's either a completely 2-dimensional character or (as you've noted) an utter dick with no redeeming qualities whatsoever - and even I think you're being a bit harsh on him on this occasion. It isn't like his reaction to the kid was 100% unjustified...and you can say "Oh, I'd do this" all you want, but there's no real way of knowing without being in a similar situation. You might surprise yourself; you might know that it's unfair, but still dislike the person anyway regardless of whether you want to or not. People are very rarely in control of their emotions to the point where they can just choose how to feel.
