Do you want to know the truth, Lex? I'm afraid you won't like it very much. You are not him. You will never be Superman. Even when you try to do good, you cannot escape the base iniquity of your race. This is just who you are. No matter how hard you try. Crawling amidst the detritus. All of you. You are only human. You will only ever be human. And soon you will be gone.
Because they are petty. Self-obsessed. Incapable of looking past themselves and to care for one another. You should have realized that by now. These people don't deserve you. They haven't since the moment you arrived.
I positioned people in situations where they were given a choice between good and evil. Evil won. Which is why Earth's fate is sealed. I wasn't saved from Krypton's destruction because of anything I've done. This isn't about me. I was saved...because this is about you.
You are an exceptional young man, Timothy. And I know more than most that being exceptional has a terrible cost. I know what it's like to carry a world on my shoulders. I...haven't cared for much I've seen on your world. But I have seen myself in you, Timothy. You won't understand this yet, but I am saving you. This need in your heart to save them, that is what turned his eye toward you. For once in your life, make the selfish decision. Don't go back. I've walked this path to the end and it is darker than you could imagine...I implore you, Timothy. Do as I have done. Take the time you have here to reflect on the life you so desperately seek to return to. It's clear you have no need for a cell, any longer. The prison is not what you see around you. It is in your mind. Remember that.
Krypton is dying. From within. And there is nothing I, or anyone, can do about it.
I didn't think it was possible. That Superman... his wife and son... could repair what was broken! I'm not the only one. He didn't think Superman could do it either. Now... this? This changes everything. A new, existence-wide, single reality, rebuilt from two. A timeline and history both familiar... and new. With lives realigned. Consistent with the memories and experiences of all. Everything solidified. Locked in... so it fits.
Life isn't a race. We're all Els. To celebrate one is to celebrate everyone.
It was a Phantom Zone. Asking anyone to survive there would be inhumane. Far worse than death.
Krypto it is.
