He's going to rub the Reds the wrong way. Follower of Eris that he is.

Or find the tiny thing that makes the Reds special and give it to everybody, or create an inoculation.
...
Which would rub them the wrong way, come to think of it.

Well what self respecting follower of Eris doesn't plan to destroy a stable millennia old government?
"Everyone can be super... and when everyone's super, no one will be!"
"Paul! We've talked about this kind of behavior before."
"Oh, I know. I've just been meaning to use that line, and it seemed fitting..."
He's a surprisingly devout worshiper considering he's an atheist.

In a highly conservative society he's moderately liberal, so... Kind of? To some people?

Who says it's innate?
The martians are all telepaths, it wouldn't be that surprising if the Reds just utilized memetic warfare until "Reds are our uncontested leaders" became a globally accepted idea.
That's basically how J'onn's brother Mal killed the vast majority of Martians in New Earth continuity- releasing a memetic virus that caused spontaneous martian combustion, spreading from Martian to Martian as they opened their minds to each other.

Nooooooo no no no. No. No it doesn't. Dropping the "er" makes it an insult that I'm not sure is okay to say on this site. It being a portmanteau of two different (and largely offensive) words for lady parts.
Those poor poor athiest in DC universe. It must take true faith to disbelive when they gods,demons attacking some where every other month and cosmic space gos annually. And the poor rationalist, they cry, the cosmic retcon never happened, magic isnt real, all the weird stuff has a ratiinal explanation

"It was all very well going on about pure logic and how the universe was ruled by logic and the harmony of numbers, but the plain fact of the matter was that the Disc was manifestly traversing space on the back of a giant turtle and the gods had a habit of going round to atheists' houses and smashing their windows."

Pretty sure this is just the pattern match portion of your brain being driven by your filthy, disgusting, perverted mind.
"The fault, dear Flux lies not in the stars, but in your skull. Your creepy, creepy skull."

No, it just requires a very particular way of thinking. Take it away Lex.

Okay? Or. And stay with me on this. Or, it's the pattern match part of my brain seeing the word "twunter" and immediately matched it to the word "twunt" which is an insult that I have heard used by others and, in fact, used myself.
But your theory was good too.

It's been mentioned once before, and apparently originates in some kind of DC canon. ...It is a terrible name, though.

You mean the powerful alien races? That can prove and demonstrate their existence? Why would atheists have problems with those?
Please, strawman some more.

The One Above All.
The whole Red respect thing. The Guardian message on their crashed ship did say Red Martians were the least modified version of the New Martians, so if the Reds are the closest to the original model, could there be some underlying semi-primitive telepathic 'alpha dog' vibe going on where White and Green make way for Red?
Red Martians remind me about etherials of tau.

I always hated that line. When everyone's super, everyone will be super. Sure, that one guy might not get adulation and praise for being the one superhero in the whole city but really, who the hell cares? You as a member of the public get rocket boots, and lasers, and super speed and whatever else there is out there. I'm not going to have significantly less fun flying around with rocket boots on just because I can't also laugh at the plebs without rocket boots.
A shame that the rest of his plan was so pointlessly evil and stupid, a world with rocket boots would have been a better one.

A shame then that Lex is so very hypocritical, claiming he knows the first thing about ethics, and also idiotic in that he falls for the fallacy of requiring an objective viewpoint in order for religion to be reasonable. Those arguments in favour of atheism really lose most of their cachet when told by a mass murderer and spoken in a universe where there might well be an objective viewpoint.

I think Syndrome's point was that if everyone is super then it would become the new normal making people like Mr. Incredible obsolete. Now I don't know if that would be true, if everyone got powers the some of them would use them for crime but on the flip side "ordinary" police would also have powers so... If everyone on earth had super powers then costumed heroics would no longer be necessary meaning it would no longer be "super". Did I explain that well? I have trouble expressing what I mean properly through the written medium.
