Infoboxen can be incredibly useful for at-a-glance statistics, e.g. countries, the dates of a monarch's reign, etc. They are more often annoying. Occasionally we can see infoboxen that are just ridiculous (I don't have a real example off-hand, but imagine if the [[Superman]] article --- which I haven't looked at; I hope it doesn't --- had an infobox with sections like "Special powers" and "Supervillain enemies").
[[Superman]] does indeed have an infobox.
It does not list 'Supervillain enemies' but does list 'Abilities' (a long list) as well as 'Affiliations' and 'Aliases', among others, as well as real-world attributes such as first appearance and creators.
