It's like when an actor overplays a certain personality trait of a character.<BR/><BR/><I>Speaking of Lex, I nominate Byrne's Kingpin Klone for Skrullhood. The "Earth-One" Luthor did exist after the Crisis; immediately after the worlds merged, in CoIE #11, Batman visits Luthor in his prison cell. He has no memory of the big battle, but he is clearly the svelte, super-scientific, frequently incarcerated Luthor from Earth-One. Then the next time we see him he's somehow morphed into Donald Trump, never having been arrested before and packed on fifty pounds and rapidly-thinning hair.</I><BR/><BR/>I think it was probably an example of "post-Crisis time" smoothing itself out. The Skrull idea is a fun one, though ;)<BR/><BR/><I>President Luthor. Because the real Lex Luthor wouldn't have bothered to take a step down into the presidency, then do nothing either evil or useful in four years. I mean, even George W. Bush did something evil or useful in four years...!</I><BR/><BR/>Well, he did learn about the Imperiex War in advance and failed to warn the American people or any higher-ups about it. And he shot the guy who found out Superman's secret. Other than that, though...<BR/><BR/>I think the Superman writers of that time wanted to show that if a smart guy like Lex were president, he wouldn't be a particularly terrible one except when his hatred for Superman flared up. I think if Jeph Loeb had stayed on the <I>Superman</I> title longer, we may have seen Luthor use his discovery that Clark Kent is Superman for evil things.<BR/><BR/><I>Or how in the JLA he remembers his youth with the Legion, but in Action Comics he doesn't seem to know Mon-El.</I><BR/><BR/>Seeing as Geoff Johns had been involved in both, you'd think there'd be some consistency :pThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08806565171767967754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-86467415628632388332008-04-05T08:13:00.000-05:002008-04-05T08:13:00.000-05:00You know, I can't disagree with any of this so far...You know, I can't disagree with any of this so far...Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217376618860561999noreply@blogger.com
