Art Deco is the pinnacle of architectural art and the world would be 90% better if we built everything around it.
Imagine how amazing cities would look.
Renaissance Revival, Baroque Revival, Art Deco, Tudorbethan, Queen Anne, Victorian, Black and White Revival, Scots Baronial, Art Nouveau, Palladian, Beaux-Arts, and shooting in the face anyone who brings up the ideal of Brutalism or Googism.

lex is still a massive bastard, but right now he's working to further his dream of being the man to lead humanity to a golden age. Though if a robot shoots Superman with a starod derived weapon at some point in the future I would not be surprised.
Nah. Lex, if successfull, will make Superman obsolete for the future of mankind. Imagine his smug meter after seeing Kal-El realize that.
 
Paul: "Now that I've killed who I wanted to kill, I don't have to pretend to be nice all the time."
Grayven: "I just got Lex flippin' Luthor speaking with the blue light of hope."
Past all the strongarming, Grayven gave lex what he WANTS. In a way that'll give him the legacy he's fantasized about his entire life with no risk, no illegal action, just the kind of corporate management/r&d oversight he could literally do in his sleep.
Something Clark could almost certainly NEVER do...
For all his good intentions, Paul... never offered Luthor more than words,dispite his insight into other's desires...

Because he couldn't, until Lex proved he could be trusted Paul couldn't give him this. Hell Paul spent ages bending over backwards to give Lex the chance to change his tune.
Also remember that for all the cheer Grayven has a gun pointed at Lex's head making sure he stays on the straight and narrow, something Oh El doesn't do.

Gray will make you 'good' by making 'evil' a short and painful option, while Oh El stops you being 'bad' by making 'good' the easy road.
 
Imagine how depressed Lex will become when Kal's quite happy about the idea.

The sad thing is that Lex could have done this without Gravy.

You want effectively limitless power? Duplicate the kryptonian solar energy absorption process, which is something Lex did in an Elseworld.

Then think of all the possible results of studying the biophysics of all those kryptonian powers.

Yet Cadmus was too busy building super steroids.

Not unless you count saving his life from ten anti-ship missiles, saving his Danner research centre from uber-rats, alerting him to the Danner formula in the first place, saving the LexCorp building from universe negative 14 (and remember, the building AI nearly decided to activate the self-destruct), helping him extract a little bit of good PR from the black hole that is Cadmus...

They did. The result was the G-Sprites, which the story called out as being utterly inefficient for power generation unless they had a lifespan of a month or so.
 
Ok, so I read this story and love it. Now, unfortunatly I skipped over all the renegade path segments thinking they would be a small thing.

What is going to be the best way to go back and read them? Is there a thread with a renegade threadmark list somewhere? I would love to know.

Page 1 of this thread has the chapter/episode index, and that should list which ones are Renegade.

Note that there are a couple of chapters that are primarily Renegade. You can identify them because they'll have a couple of episodes that list the SI as "supplementary".

Ehh, kinda. Unlike the Guardians Oh El can still feel other emotions, and it's not like he can stop right now.
Honestly I think he's lying about space not making him harder. He did kill a lot of people and even if it was necessary that doesn't mean he doesn't at least need to decompress from it all.
Going right back to work like this might not have been best for him.

You forget the time he did his fusion dance the first time right?

He killed a lot of baddies then.

Granted he was not fully himself but he felt more annoyed about the Cake Man thing than he felt about killing bad guys.

Or maybe he didn't kill anyone? Is been a while and I can't remember.

Ah right he killed a lot if aliens but they were not real.
 
Let's assume that Savage pulled some strings so that didn't happen.
There are plenty of perpetual motion machines patented in the US. Just because the patent exists doesn't mean it works. All that would have been necessary is enough doubt to make the government official sifting through the patents to say "eh, probably fake," and move on -- just like you mentioned in the story, in fact, so you already provided sufficient justification.

Are you spelling that right? I'm familiar with most of the rest of your list, but not that one, and I can't find it in a search. What is it?

To be fair, there's nothing wrong with failing -- the important part is that they TRIED.

And so easily, you sum up exactly how little Lex really knows about Superman.

Imagine how depressed Lex will become when Kal's quite happy about the idea.
This basically. Clark has never tried to make, nor wants, humanity solely dependant upon him for anything. There areas where they are, literally no one OTHER then Superman can do the job. (Yes, yes Captain Marvel, but DC barely remembers that and from what I hear they've completely changed him)
