How do you make a Superman game with his usual rogue's gallery without having a 9/11 occur whenever he fights a villain of equal power level?

Why contain it?

Just let them die

>godlike superhuman with ultra powerful genes
>balding in his mid 30’s

you simply create a plot device that makes superman weak at the start of the game. Luthor uses some kryptonite virus or something on him, just anything to make him weak, and as the game progresses you get your powers back slowly one after another and by the end you are at full power

>Use Suicide Squad Metropolis like Origins used CIty's Gotham
>Use the same character design (Superman, Lois, fatty Lex, etc.)
>Make some boss fights in Metropolis meaning you have to be careful to not kill anyone
>Make Supes push other villains to some remote location (some desert in the South or whatever) before the boss fights, meaning you can go all out.
>Profit

You kill 'em son, you kill 'em all.

Did you watch the new Superman movie? He's not an all powerful god who causes earthquakes and polar shifts with every punch, he's closer to the animated series where he's strong but can't bench press a planet, and is also deliberatley holding back to not hurt anyone

You make a game by limiting what he can do while still making him "super"

Have an open world metropolis he can fly around in and do random quests like saving kittens or whatever. Story based boss fights that represent an actual challenge occur in like the empty desert or forest or other planets or after the city has been evacuated

>city-destroying battles between two superhumans is somehow a bad thing
When did gamers get so fucking gay?

You don't. You use the level of destruction of the city as his health bar. Too much, and you lose.

>>715934363 (OP)
Just fucking make it nigga. You suspend your disbelief and not think about it too hard. You play as op characters all the time and you don't think about these things.

Forget Superman. Where's my Aquaman game with swimming mechanics?

Nigga he escaped from a black hole's pull with his super breath, that's one of the better movie Superman feats along with rewinding the planet.

Do the black adam shit and just have it happen in 4th world hellhole that nobody cares if it's reduced to rubble.

>>715934363 (OP)
Megaton rainfall already did this, you can completely nuke cities and even the earth if you're not careful but the challenge comes from the enemies trying to fuck up everything, not just fighting you

Flying is too hard to control, so you can never have a good game with a flying superhero. There's a reason Batman and Spiderman get plenty of good games but flyers like Superman or Iron Man don't, despite their popularity.

Send him into space, with equal level threats.
