I think the problem there duckroll is they try to create a villain with some ridiculous standard of power, thinking this is going to provide the tension that "hey, maybe this guy can actually stand toe to toe with hero X, Y or Z." In reality, it serves to undercut the tension... we know the hero will always come back, so the only purpose in reading is just to see the type of destruction they leave in their wake.
If you add some character to a villain, give that villain some intelligence to try to find a way to dismantle a powerful superhero, that tends to work better. It's why Lex Luthor has been such an iconic Superman villain for so long; why Batman is so compelling (because he has to use his wits to defeat foes, not any 'super powers').
