Why does every villain have an idiotic sidekick?
In Superman I and II Lex Luthor had Otis, and his nephew Lenny in Superman IV. Webster has Gus Gorman in III. In Supergirl, Selena had Bianca. Hell, General Zod had Non. Why is it in the early Superman films and Supergirl, the major villains had an idiotic cohort/follower at their side? And does anyone think that diminishes their menace? Afterall, they're up against an all-powerful, nearly indestrutible opponent.
