This Week's Quote: "I long to believe in immortality. I shall never be able to bid you an entire farewell. If I am destined to be happy with you here — how short is the longest life. I wish to believe in immortality — I wish to live with you forever." —John Keats
Should this be in any way surprising, coming from someone chosen as an adviser to a president who acts like a badly-written comic book supervillain?

Personally, I don't see it. Lex Luthor always came across to me as clever, something neither of them is.

And then just killing them if it didn't work.
People used to only the version in the Christopher Reeves movies (where he's mostly comical) can easily miss the fact that he's a lot more dangerous than Hannibal Lecter. Hannibal the Cannibal generally doesn't go out of his way to harm people, usually only killing and/or eating people who have the bad luck to cross his path AND irritate him. Lex Luthor is perfectly prepared to murder people by the millions just to make a quick buck. (And he tried to do exactly that in the first Christopher Reeves movie, and still manages to come off as mostly comical, whereas the portrayal in Superman Returns shows him as completely merciless, and more than a little crazed, throughout.)
