(ps: DC comics may have more than one author even from the same publication, and the image of Luther also changes under the pens of different authors.
This chapter's "Luthor wants to become Superman" is considered one of Luthor's mainstream settings.
In the comics, Luther put on the orange light ring, revealing his deepest desires, and Diana strangled his neck with the lasso of truth so that he could not lie. Then Luther said this sentence
His fatal declaration: I want to be Superman.
In the old comics, Luthor also stole Superman's genes and extracted the "Superman Factor" so that he could briefly possess all the powers of Superman.
However, I think the "Superman" Luthor wants to be is not Clark Kent.
No one can deny Luther's wisdom.
He is an extremely smart person. His wisdom is not only reflected in scientific research, but also has an extremely thorough understanding of human nature. Otherwise, he would not be able to become the number one boss of the secret society with a mortal body and let many unruly extraordinary villains obey his orders.
.
How can such a smart person not see clearly whether Da Chao is hypocritical or a genuine "hope"?
If Luther really believed that Da Chao was hypocritical, he would not care so much about "proving Da Chao's hypocrisy".
What is fake cannot be true. Da Chao will be exposed sooner or later. He only needs to wait quietly. At most, he will monitor Da Chao and look for evidence to expose Da Chao's hypocrisy, instead of going to great lengths to create evidence to prove Da Chao's hypocrisy.
Just like a man and woman in love, under what circumstances will a man be particularly impatient to let his girlfriend show his love for him?
Did he discover that his girlfriend's love for him was true, or did he discover that her love was perfunctory?
When a man is sure that his girlfriend loves him, he will not rush to save this love. There is no need.
If a man loves his girlfriend very much, but finds that she is absent-minded when getting along with him and obviously does not love him, he will be anxious and eager to do something to turn his girlfriend's false love for him into true love.
Luthor has been struggling all these years, saying, "I want to prove that Superman is not the hope of mankind, he is a hypocritical liar." In fact, this is because deep down in his heart, he has already confirmed that Superman is the embodiment of hope and is a person who should not exist.
of perfect man.
Only the truth needs to be eradicated.
The best way to deal with falsehood is to uncover the lie.
Luther also said that he wanted to prove to the world that humans do not need Superman. An omnipotent Superman would make humans inert and lose the motivation and courage to move forward alone. Superman is hypocritical, uncontrollable, and unreliable. When humans
Losing self and completely becoming a subordinate of Superman, mankind will eventually be destroyed when Superman collapses. If mankind wants to develop healthily, it must ultimately rely on itself.
This is not a pretense, it is what he says from his heart.
Precisely because he is certain that Superman is almost flawless, there is a worry that "human beings have lost themselves and completely regard Superman as a pillar of spirit and belief."
Let’s use the example of a couple in love. Man A sees that Man B is also pursuing his goddess, and Man B looks ugly. Man A will not be anxious. But if Man B is a tycoon, Man A will be anxious.
, will be worried about the goddess falling into B’s arms.
Luther calls Da Chao an ugly guy, but in his heart he admits that he is a real Yanzu.
It can be said that it was Dachao who made Luther successful. Dachao opened the manhole cover and allowed Luther to see a wider sky, letting Luther know that a person can still be so good and perfect.
When the full score of the test paper is 100 points, even the most ambitious academic master's greatest motivation is only 100 points.
When a top student knows that he can get extra points through academic papers and social activities and push the total score to 150 points, even if the paper must be published in a magazine of the "Nature" or "Science" level, even if his true ability is at most 110
If he scores points, he will try his best to reach 150 points. His eyes will only be fixed after 150 points, and he will never look at 100 points again.
This is greed.
Luther is an extremely egoistic and selfish person. He will not applaud the Super Champion who scored 150 points. He will only want to surpass him and score 151 points.
He said that human beings can only rely on themselves, but in fact, that "self" is really just himself.
He said that if humans regard Superman as their faith, humanity will eventually be destroyed as the illusion of Superman is shattered. Does Luther care about the future of mankind?
On Station B, when the up owner released Luther's classic remarks, many B friends lamented: Luther is right. They also lamented for Luther, thinking that he can really become the hope of mankind, but it is unrealistic and too fantasy.
I want to say, when you judge a person, should you judge him by what he says?
High-sounding rhetoric is almost a basic skill for every qualified politician.
They can all make declarations that make everyone say, "What he said is so good, he is right," but which one of them has done it?
Whether a person is good or bad has nothing to do with his status or words. Celebrities and politicians all have status, status, and sound good words, but nine out of ten of them are terrible.
To judge a person, you can only judge him by what he has done.
Luther doesn't even care about the life and death of his teammates in the secret society, and even treats the employees of Lex Group Company cold-bloodedly (Luthor once used his female secretary Mercy to block the gun many times, really blocking the gun, and used a beautiful secretary as a human shield),
He has never really cared about strangers, so how could he really care about more "illusory" human beings?
No matter how patriotic a person says he is, when in reality he doesn’t even love his family and friends, then he is lying. If he doesn’t even love the people around him, how can he love the wider country?
The ancients said that filial piety comes first among all virtues, which does not mean that filial piety is simply ranked first.
But the parents who gave birth to him and raised him were not filial, and his other kindnesses were probably hypocrisy.
The human beings mentioned by Luther still refer to himself.
If you replace "human" with "Luthor", you can better understand Luther's mentality and thoughts.
He realizes the excellence of Da Chao, and subconsciously "cowardly Luther" wants to rely on Da Chao and believe in Da Chao as a god. However, "Superman Luther" cannot accept that he worships others and places his hope on others.
If this perfect "Superman" really exists, then the "Superman" can only be Luthor himself!
He said "I want to be Superman", not specifically tearing apart Man, but the perfect existence in his heart.
Super is already a reality, so the "perfect existence" in Luthor's mind must transcend reality and be more "superhuman" than Superman.
This kind of greed that is difficult for ordinary people to understand led him to be selected by the Orange Lantern Ring.
The above is my own opinion, just take a look at it, don’t take it too seriously.)
