Just to Tick Superman off

"Oh, COME ON!! 

It's Lex frickin' LUTHOR..!!"

The Question Confronts Lex Luthor

"President? ...Foolish, faceless man --

My Campaign is a FARCE. 

A small part of a much grander scheme. 

[chuckles] 

'President'... Do you know how much power 

I'd have to give up to be President? 

That's right, conspiracy buff -- 

I spent 75 million dollars on a fake Presidential campaign :

All just to tick Superman off."

— Luthor, 

Justice League Unlimited, 

"Question Authority"

"Narcissist." 

"Sociopath." 

"Evil genius." 

There are a lot of ways to describe 

Lex Luthor... 

but I find "douchebag" 

to be the most descriptive.

I HATE THEM!!
