It's so easy to resent him. Human beings are complex and confusing, they are a churning mass of desires and fears at any given moment. A white noise of bemusement. We are not binary.

The fact is, Batman, there wasn't a single occurrence of metahuman violence or extraterrestrial or interdimensional incursion until you all showed up. When we needed you most, your league was infiltrated and manipulated into unleashing these malevolent doppelgangers from beyond. You failed to stop yourselves on every metaphorical and literal level... which is why we're going to have to do it.

--Alexander Luthor (Prime Earth)

I may not be as strong or as powerful as you, Alexander... but I'm smarter.

We aren't going to solve this with our wits and will. Our best chance for survival is to follow the plan Brainiac set. The cost is too great otherwise. Or did you all forget? If Colu dies, Earth is next.

--Alexander Luthor (Prime Earth)

Go ahead. Make yourself at home. Open any door. As I said, I have nothing to hide.

--Alexander Luthor (Prime Earth)

I have the knowledge to save the infected and the Justice League. But in order to do so, I need Patient Zero.

--Alexander Luthor (Prime Earth)

There are things you don't know. Things the League doesn't know. This is far worse than anyone could believe. People are afraid. And they should be.

--Alexander Luthor (Prime Earth)

J'onn J'onzz of Mars... I can give you exactly what you're looking for. I can give you me.

Just a little longer... and the whole universe will be ours to behead.

--Alexander Luthor (Prime Earth)

Before your body was transformed into living nuclear energy, your name was Nathaniel Tryon. You were a security guard at the Metropolis power plant until a meltdown changed you into this. You hunted down those you blamed for the accident and tried to kill them, but Superman stopped you. You became a metahuman gun-for-hire.

--Alexander Luthor (Prime Earth)

Yes, well..."This man" can see the two of you have clearly bonded with...Bizarro. You'll be glad to know I got his heart beating again. At this point there is only a .37 percent chance I can save him. For anyone else that would be impossible. For me, it's a Tuesday.

Figure it out for yourself how to be better, as he is trying to do...
