Thank you so much for that link. I did not know that this was the father of Alex Luthor, father to the Infinite Crisis. It explains so much, and makes me excited and apprehensive for what's about to happen.
Magic? Or maybe just technology developed to be invisible to kryptonians, since he certainly had the incentive to build something like that.
Thank you, corrected.
Sorry to disappoint, but he's bald too. Just got a beard and moustache.
Thank you, corrected.
Just at a guess: your slot in the afterlife is based on how evil you were. Evil people get to spend their afterlives tormenting good-hearted fools. The more evil you did, the better your slot in the dog-eat-dog hierarchy.
... you have an interesting definition of 'good.' (Yes, there are certainly others who share it, or something similar, but it's not a version that I subscribe to.)
Now i'm thinking of that bit in Dragonlance where they say Elves are genocidal racists because they're "pure Good", and then act like that's some deep philosophical point and not utter gibberish.
Reminds me of something I read recently. At one point one of the protagonists gives some money to some people who helped him because it feels like the right thing to do, and as he does it he offhandedly thinks about how it's a selfish act, since there were more utilitarian ways that he could've used the money. I thought it was a pretty neat microcosm of how being truly Good is often not what our instincts tell us is Good (for certain definitions of Good, anyway).
Neither, she was sent to -14 New Genesis as a child infiltrator, only to eventually be outed and exiled after Godfather Izaya destroyed -14 Krypton. She came to -14 Earth much later, as a middle aged woman.
were came her -> we came here
too many 'adds'? perhaps on should be 'reduces' or 'eliminates'
Ech, this guy. You'd think he'd figure things are a little off, given that the three super-powered kids came back with company. Or maybe he's just assuming that they've signed on. Either way...
...He's just an idiot. Though Alexander may well have some manner of perception filter stealth system that works best on the dim-witted.
Or the guy really is that dumb. You'd think he'd recognise a guy who's constantly interfering with the Syndicate's plans.
...Because of course he's already scanned, understood and improved on the portal generator's design. Joy of a tenth-level intellect.
Well, at least they're not going back empty-handed.
And hello Anti-Life. No, you weren't missed at all.
Interesting. His neural filter adjusting itself, eh?
...Typing? How prosaic. I guess he prefers the innate distinction it allows him in terms of interface control, though.
A distinction needed because why risk having something that could respond to subconscious thoughts?
...He's probably not kidding, either. Think of all the superheroes, supervillains and alien threats with potential mind-affecting powers. Now imagine the former using them without any moral restrictions to get what they want.
...Huh, guy's not as dumb as he looks. Must be book-dumb, street smart.
As opposed to what? A hat and trenchcoat?
Especially in stealth mode.
...Huh, guess he is wearing some variant of a hat and trenchcoat now. Or at least a warm jacket and beanie.
...And you found out that much in what, thirty seconds? A little concerning. They may need to give him the 'secret identity' talk.
...And Positive Lex isn't distracted by anything but Superman and his erstwhile co-conspirators in the Light. Let that sink in, and let the worry increase.
Including stuff recommended by OL, I hope. Which Alexander might have some difficulties with, even if he knows how to fight magic-users of his world.
Though there probably is some undercurrent of distrust. Reversed morality or not, he is Luthor.
I wonder just how many countermeasures he has set up for such a scenario.
Geez, it's like he's trying to speed-run saving the world.
...That always seems more reassuring when it's Superman doing it. Must be the cape.
And do you want Positive Lex to be set loose on an entire planet of jackasses? He'll be running the place in no time.
Canis gonna Canis.
And Canis did Canis. He Canis'd very much.
Well, now we get to see how his side of matters turned out.
...He's alive. But is he un-dominated?
A large man in fancy armour riding a giant dog isn't exactly covert, Robin...
The only reason Robin's not face-palming right now is that he need both hands free to chocke Canis.
...I hope that's just metaphorical, based on proximity to a large node of Anti-Life...
'we came here in'
This makes me wonder what the native Luthor is actually doing right now.
'boom'
It would constitue a substantial improvement. Luthor's evil, but he's at least not STUPID.
Yeah...The funny thing is, I feel like, if the prime Luthor really did make a full face-turn, use his intellect for good...Supes would be the first to welcome it with open arms. He's, ya know, The Best Guy.
Now I'm picturing Ultraman and lex luthor becoming best friends.
Thank you, corrected.
I don't think that would work...dueling megalomaniacs and egos there.

Them, then? Not sure what words are supposed to go there.
Depends on the version. The Justice League Unlimited episode with Lexor City, and Superman fighting Captain Marvel, showed Superman still being incredibly distrustful of a Lex that was apparently trying to do good. Of course it turned out that Lex was hoping Superman would wreck his humanitarian attempt, but it really was a self sufficient, low income housing project (so even if Superman didn't bite it would still be a PR boost for Lex). Given that Young Justice Superman was generally more of a dick than JLU Superman (see: interactions with Superboy), I don't see him remotely trusting an apparent face-turn.
He's just an idiot. Though Alexander may well have some manner of perception filter stealth system that works best on the dim-witted.
Thank you, corrected.
It's correct as written. Alexander is asking what powers Match's powersm if not kryptonite.
