    Lex Luthor: Man of Steel
    He hires Toyman to bomb a jewelry store, but doesn't tell him it connects to a daycare center, 30-60 kids are killed, Toyman becomes the most hated man on the planet. Lex sends his lab-created superwoman, to intercept. In full view of the cheering public and media, she grabs Toyman to take him way up in the air then drops him... And Superman catches him.

Let alone his willingness to have superpowers aside from his suit to level playing field between himself and supers at more efficient manner)

      @krel7160 3 года назад +3

      It wasn't just being uncomfortable with an alien. It was being uncomfortable with humanity's sudden complacency and willingness to accept such an alien as their "defender". In Lex's mind it goes something like this: This alien far surpasses all of us and humanity's greatest physical potentials, and it's benevolent.
      But what about the next one? What if there's another? What if he goes missing during a greater threat, or, even worse, is brainwashed into serving something which doesn't share his boy-scout tendencies?

    • @MrSophire
      @MrSophire Год назад

      Kerl, but deep down that is the excuse he tells himself, Batman is a big ball of paranoia and he trusts him (he has plans to take Superman down if needed and Superman trusts him for that task) If Lex really believed that Superman was a threat he would keep an eye on him and plan when Supes goes crazy or off planet. Lex is just really arrogant and prideful, he has to be the hero.
