That's the joke, mate. He's NOT protecting them. Powerful people don't need protection, do they? So, it seems to me that these powerful folk are jealous. Where's their Superman?

...hey, where IS their Superman? Surely they've got the connections to make One-Percent Man or something.

Wasn't that Everyman? A parasite who consumes others for their skills.

Nah. What good is a superhero you can't really brand? He's only powered when he's in the shape of someone else. Not a marketable face.

" You are half of one thing, and half of another - you're not wholly either. You're an abomination. " sneered the villain.

Tom Taylor might well have thought that was subtle and layered.

He's just mad because someone stole his Human/Kryptonian hybrid idea and did it the FUN way.

DC have had a high profile "Human/Kryptonian hybrid" since Kon-El debuted in the 90's, so I'm not sure what you're referring to here.

I think we're both talking about Superboy/Kon-El/Conner.

The joke might not have been entirely clear.

Lex and Lois both had a kid with Superman, but only Lois got to shtup him.

The dude went and made Matrix just so he'd have a Superperson who'd sleep with him.

(Yes, I know there are layers of clone bodies and alternate realities there but it's basically true)

That isn't Luthor. Luthor is helping the guy, but that isn't him.

Oh, sorry. I thought you were talking about the other bald mad scientist.

No, Dr. Sivana is shorter.

The confusion is justified. You see a bald white guy wearing purple, fighting Superman, and talking about human superiority, your first thought isn't going to be the guy from Stormwatch.

It occurs to me that the Oolong Island era could have been a LOT more confusing if it happened Post-Flashpoint.

Oh, is that who that is? I honestly didn't have a clue. Just knew it wasn't Lex.
