Yeah, combat is just, "Oh no, something happened to his ring again!"

Combat in itself isn't boring it's just that it tends to be pretty one sided.

Nah, that's just the super tense combat as opposed to more active combat.

Dream will just change his plans so that he dies under other circumstances (well, if it is Dream's plan).

Or how about the entire Paulphidian arc? A lot of it could be summed up as:
Paulphidian: "I have a plan to make everything better forever!"
Everyone else: "Paul, no!"
Paulphidian: "Don't worry, I already did it!"
Later:
Paulphidian: "Why is everyone uncomfortable-looking? I though I fixed everything! ... I have a plan to make everything better forever!"
Everyone else: "Paul, no!"
Paulphidian: "Don't worry, I already did it!"
Paulphidian: "Hey, you know that thing you really really want? Imma give it to ya."
Everyone else: "I don't want it if you're just going to give it to me!"

In Dc comics a supervillain made half white martian hybrids using the DNA of supervillains.
One of the kids, based on his looks, could be half bizarro (or possibly solomon grundy or even blockbuster).
So Kon and Megan's hypothetical child might not even be the first such hybrid.
There's also the "one man JLA" storyline in which superman was kidnapped and given alternate lives based on his father sending him to other planets such as Rann, Thannagar, Oa, etc, it was aborted, but there was a scenario in which Jor-El sent Kal-El to a martian colony to grow up, and superman was green. Which suggests that in this scenario the martians had the technology to hybridize him.
There's also the mashup world in which Superman is merged with the martian manhunter to make Supermartian, although whether in that universe he's a normal martian, a martian kryptonian hybrid, or that mars was orginally colonized by Krypton, we don't know.
So why you doubt that Maltusian technology could hybridize a martian and a kryptonian when human technology can hybridize kryptonians with humans and martians with humans I don't know, especially since Maltusians have at least 10 billion years a head start on humanity.

The nonzero possibility that Genomorph genetic "science" is more Magical Earth Superpower Shenanigans?

A possibility I'll take seriously when something like "Captain Cold gets a power nullifying collar on his neck and he no longer knows how to build cold guns" happens.

Is possible, in the DC One Million Graphic Novel, superman decendants basically had kids with a tons of different races, including a menber of certain Imp race.
The guns don't, but his skills as a schitzotech maker might be.

Why would it? This isn't Worm, what's-his-face had to learn to build his stuff.

The heroes are unambiguous, people without powers have a meaningful impact on the plot, and magic is real. It's not Worm.

Piggot, Tagg, Doctor Mother, the fashion guy, Danny, Annette, Emma, Madison, etc etc etc. Not sure what you mean here.
In WTR, I'd say less people without powers have an impact on the plot or are recurring characters. Disregarding Batman, Robin, the archers, and counting mad scientists as having powers, there really aren't too many people. Waller, Strange, Truggs, technically Slade Wilson had an effect on one episode, the Logans, and Luthor are the ones I can think of that I can think of that did anything meaningful, and really only Truggs and Luthor could be considered main supporting characters. I'm disregarding the various bats and arrows because while they don't have powers, mostly, they are still 'super heroes', and Worm lacks unpowered heroes, so it makes the comparison more fair. Also, Cheshire is really only big in Grayven's story arc.

You realize that what you're saying is "If we ignore most of the important DC people who haven't got powers, DC doesn't have more people without powers". Frankly, that doesn't mean anything significant.

They're still part of the 'hero/villain' community. And most of them basically have powers with how they can actually compete with people who have much more blatant abilities. I mean, look at Batman.

Being rich is a thing that exists in Worm, though. Heck, early on in canon, there was speculation that maybe Coil didn't have any powers, he was just rich.

The One Above All.
Wouldn't it have been funny if Coil really was just rich and wanted to be a supervillian, like Motherfucker from Kick Ass?
And waiting for the new story piece, to stay on topic.
