Piggy-backing on Beverly's intergang post, I'd like to discuss the female villains because some of them are really interesting.
Personally, I liked ones like Tony Taylor and Antoinette Baines who were intelligent women who used their brains in order to get what they wanted. They just ignored the laws and, in Antoinette's case" she was capable of murder. She would have been an interesting comparison to Lex since she was as ruthless and as amoral as he.
Tony seemed to want to achieve success and I believe that although she was very capable of conducting illegitimate business, she was not that easy about murder. Or were was I just seeing her through Clark's eyes?
Other female villains like Miranda, MIndy, and Myrtle (do they all begin with the letter M?) were over the top and I can't take them that seriously.
I think that Lois and Clark needed a female villain who was as interesting as Lex.
And do you think that there could be a female villain who Clark could have found attractive, one who could have duped him the way Lex duped Lois?
