Superman 2025 Monster is an unofficial, satirical name given to potential future superheroes by fans and critics due to the increasing prevalence of overly powerful and invincible characters in superhero media. The term is used to criticize the lack of relatability and tension in stories featuring such characters.
The term gained popularity in the mid-2010s, as superhero films and television shows became increasingly popular. Critics and fans began to notice a trend toward characters who were virtually invincible, with no real weaknesses or flaws. This led to a sense of staleness and predictability in superhero stories, as there was no longer any real sense of danger or suspense.
