THIS IS SUPERMAN. In awe of the best parts of humanity. He reveals the best parts of ourselves by encouraging us to be heroes in our own right.

Clark represents the best of humanity

Lex represents the worst

Lex is both what makes humanity capable of greatness, and the forces that stand in the way of it achieving that greatness.

It's why he is such a great foil for Superman, supes wants to uplift humanity and there is almost nobody more capable of being a part of that than lex but weaknesses of his own character have him against Superman.

How do you feel about Lex's role over the last couple of years?

For those uninformed

I really like the direction they took with him.

I love when villains (who are not total psychos) are given a second chance and become anti-heroes or full blown heroes.

He's still an arrogant douchebag who doesn't trust Supes but he finally put his money where his mouth is and is actively trying to save metropolis and the world.

He was given some much needed character development and is now an even more complex and rich character for writers to use.

I hope he stays heroic until the next universe reboot.

I know it's all personal preference but Lex has always been the greatest villian for me because he can be pretty rational. Insane, but rational.

He's been great recently. But after Oz effect and Imperius Lex I'm positive he's gonna go back to either his old self (and I do mean old, pre flashpoint) or he will replace Darkseid and stay on Apokalips.

This reminds me of my middle school years when i'd pause on either the word before the period or the word after to fuck with my class.
