Lex Luthor

I can't stand the Metahumans, but he's so much worse. Super... "man". He's not a man. He's an it. A thing with a cocky grin and a stupid outfit that's somehow become the focal point of the entire world's conversation. Nothing's felt right since he showed up.

Lex Luthor
[Anchor: What about all the kind acts Superman has performed over the years? Saving countless lives...]

No, he's grooming us. Lulling us into complacency so he can dominate without resistance, forging a path for his superpowered descendants to rule the Earth. I will not accept that. Will you? [Anchor: Mr. Luthor...] I'm... I'm scared. I will admit that, I am scared. Because who knows how large his secret harem is already?

Lex Luthor

I hoped to get the knowledge to help destroy him. Little did I know, his own parents would be providing it.

Lex Luthor

I'm not killing you so the Boravian military conflict can proceed; I created the Boravian military conflict so I'd have an excuse to kill you!

Lex Luthor

No, no, they chose him! Let them die! We'll close it from the bunker before it gets to a city I care about.

WHERE'S THE DOG?!

Lex

I have no clue what you're talking about.

...He's just a dog.

Lex

I don't know what dog you're talking about. [mumbling into his coffee cup] Ugly dog in a cape?

What did you say?

Lex

Hm? I didn't say anything.

Luthor. Your obsession with me is getting a little creepy.

Lex

Don't worrry; tall, dark, and Martian isn't my type.

Kryptonian.

Lex

Meh, same diff.

You're driven by envy, Luthor -- you couldn't be more obvious!

Lex Luthor

No shit. I'm not dim. I'm aware envy consumes my every waking moment. 13L. [Ultraman uses his heat vision on Superman] I know when they mention Galileo or Einstein or one of these other twits in the same breath as me, I feel a tide of vomit burn the back of my throat! But at least Galileo did something. He wasn't some dopey Venusian catapulted onto this planet just to have the world fawn over him! Because his strength illuminates how weak we all really are! So, my envy is a calling! It is the sole hope for humanity, because it is what has driven me to annihilating you! 1A! 1A! 1A! 1A! 1A! [Ultraman repeatedly punches Superman in sync with Luthor's commands]
