The Ultra-Humanite, reformed, and yet he still needs his revenge.
Revenge for WHAT? And PG giving him back his body and health--effectively giving him another lifetime more than a hundred years after he was born--doesn't clean the slate? What a petty asshole.
Oh wait, this from his Wiki article might be reason enough for someone to hold a grudge: "Siegel and Shuster replaced the Ultra-Humanite as Superman's archfoe when Lex Luthor was introduced into the Superman comic. Originally, Luthor was depicted as a mad scientist with a full head of red hair. An artist later mistakenly drew Luthor with a bald head and Siegel approved of Luthor's new look. Because Siegel and Shuster didn't need two bald mad scientists battling Superman, they dropped the Ultra-Humanite from Superman comics in favor of Luthor. The Ultra-Humanite made his last Superman appearance in Action Comics #21 (1940), where he kidnaps an inventor and forces them to build a disintegration ray to extort $2,000,000, and made no further comic book appearances for several decades."
I can just see him alone at night, muttering, "Fucking, fucking Luthor..."
I think he's one of those guys who is so into his megalomaniacal 'I AM SUPERIOR TO ALL YOU WORTHLESS ANT-PEOPLE' mindset that can't STAND owing anyone a favor. That's worse than an insult - it means that they're BETTER than him, and NO ONE must be better than him!
Is it my imagination, or does she subtly draw one breast smaller than the other? Because, that's realistic. But that's really subtle, too. I wonder if I'm just imputing magical powers to Amanda Conner.
Oh, so after he destroys a ton of buildings and bridges in NYC, using that pyschic broadcast to make people crazy and attack each other, all that causing who knows how many injuries and deaths (I remember the scene in issue 2 where falling people just rain down past the window of her company), PG just absolves the guy. No jail for you, no justice for your victims. Hey wanna job? No? Ok go on your merry way.
Forgiveness is fine and all, but he still needs to pay for his crimes. I can see why he hates her so much, so arrogant.
I think it's more that he was doing all that (or so she theorizes) because he was angry and lashing out at the world, and THAT was because he was stuck in a succession of bodies other than his own, which had kicked it. Anyway, he's getting a memory wipe, so presumably, he won't remember any of that - PG was literally offering him a new life.
You'd think Power Girl of all people might not be so quick to hop on the "getting your memories erased and being given a whole new identity is swell!" train.
