Lex Sedet In Vertice: A Supervillain in the DCU CK2 quest

[Kkutlord]

@King crimson: So... here goes my attempt at writing a song for Lex Luthor. Pretty short and all, but figured shouldn't drag a song out for 1000 Words.

----

"Just a Normal Man"
​

Looking at the footage, as a cheering crowd of humans gather around the 'Superman' as he publicly meets with the new mayor... Lex Luthor's fist clenches tightly, his eyes not leaving the screen.

"~Look at them, as they praise him... Look at them, as they worship him... Acting like he has earned their, adoration!~" Moving away from the screen, Lex turns to a wall covered with photos and details of the 'Superman'.

"~They don't understand... What he really is...~" Swiping at the wall, sending photos and paper flying, reveals a massive anatomical sketch with all kinds of little notes attached.

"~Hero, savior? As if! He flies around, acting like he's better than us! Wielding mighty power, he believes himself a god! Yet the truth, of the 'Superman', is that... He's just a normal man.~"

"~Far, far away, there once was a planet like ours... And the truth, is that everyone there is a 'Superman'! Yes, indeed, your precious hero? Nothing more, than common rabble!~"

"~So why don't they see!? That he's just a fool, someone ordinary!? All that power, simply isn't special! He's just a normal man, just a normal man, just a normal man far from home!~"

"~Everything he does, isn't hard, isn't dangerous! How is it brave, fighting something far below you! Yes, indeed, your precious hero? Nothing more, than a fraud!~"

"~So why do they believe, his lies!? He's no symbol, no beacon, simply far from home! All that power, used to fuel his delusions! He's just a normal man, just a normal man, just a normal man lying to you!~"

"~Everything he does, is about his ego! Nothing can harm him, nothing can stop him, he's all-powerful here! Yes, indeed, your precious hero? Nothing more, than your puppetmaster!~"

"~So why do they love him, instead of me!? I've saved them, I've bettered them, I've shown them a brighter future! He's just a normal man, just a normal man, just a normal man compared to me!~"

"~Everything I do, is for your own good! Communications revolutionized, space my backyard, nature revived! Yes, indeed, your precious hero? Nothing more, than sideshow distraction!~"

"~So why do I, have to show them? Why can't they just, see the light!? Their false idol will fall, his lies broken before me! He's just a normal man, just a normal man, and I'm the real Superman!~"

So, I wanted to make a fan art to thank the OP for their work, but cannot draw to save my life. Thus, I tried to make something passable using my amateurish photoshopping skills.

So I got bored and wrote an Atrocitus song. I hope you all enjoy it. Let me know if you can think of improvements to it. I enjoyed writing this and I'm curious if people would like to see more content like this from me.

The Last Incursion's Manifesto

The Bull in the ring sets our hearts ablaze
We'll stay silent no more
The old order will be washed away
Watch as it falls before the Red Lantern Corps!

Cast aside your heart and soul
There's only the goal
Only the wrath

Beasts seeing red
Guardians will be dead
That is our path

Cut a swathe through space
Paved in blood and gore
Rise in anger Red Lantern Corps!

Destroy those who ruined our worlds
Teeth bared, claws unfurled
Blood will flow, like a rich man's wine
Finally vengeance will be mine!

My hour is nigh
I'll wipe out the Guardians the I abhore
Vengeance from on high
Behold my Red Lantern Corps!

Cut a swathe through space
Paved in blood and gore
Rise in anger Red Lantern Corps!

From space, I'll purge the Maltusian race
You will watch me settle the score
Feel the rage of Oa's mistakes
Scream now for the Red Lantern Corps!

 

[King crimson]

So I had this rolling around in my head for a bit but I've finally got it out and working. I don't know what to title it but this is my Lex Luthor song. I'm curious about the response I'll get to it. I'd also appreciate potential titles for the song.

The Real Superman: Lex Luthor Song

You mock my every effort
Call me a villain behind my back
I understand you're intimidated
By my vision that you lack

Content for things to stay the same
Can't say that I'm impressed
I'll shatter society
Remake it for the best

I won't apologize for natural evolution
This was the only true solution

Onwards, Forwards
Into the future
Inevitably, I'll achieve my destiny
I am Lex Luthor

You'll see
I'm the hero
I am always right

I am the only one who can do what's needed
Crush everyone in my way who would jeaprodize
The truth I'll champion till you all recognize
I'll lead you to salvation and save all your lives

I am the greatest mind
I know which path to take
I'll champion humankind
And determine our fate

Those who'd stand in my way
You've dug your own graves
I've no time to waste
There is a world that only I can save

Don't act as though there is some confusion
All things must come to their natural conclusion

Onwards, Forwards
Into the future
Inevitably, I'll achieve my destiny
I am Lex Luthor

I am here
I am your savior
I'll be immortalized

I am,
The superman who is here to save the day
True peace is something only I can realize
No matter what I do I am justified
All who oppose me must pay with their lives!

 

[King crimson]

Here is a little Sinestro song I've been cooking up for a while. I hope people find it entertaining. I'll also be getting a quick little summary on Greek gods up and maybe a non canon omake.

Beware my Might
I've never thought fear to be essential
It's used best for excesion
But this yellow light has potential
When aligned with myight and vision

The guardians have had me banished
Besmirched, besmeared and despised
But now with this opportunity I've managed
To ensure that the order is revised

It's clear from their fear that they're helpless
Cowards who are weak at heart
But my will is fortunately endless
And to bring order I will do my part

So beware of the old orders annihilation
Beware of my paths culmination
A glorious new era
Is growing clearer
Where my might is enforced
To bring in line the universe's worst

There'll be no quarter
Within my new order
At last we'll have a peace that is true
All illuminated by the yellow lights glare
So beware

Of course since I've been rejected
I'll need to prepare for war
But that's all rather expected
I won't tolerate Green Lanterns anymore

Life is full of surprises
I never thought this my destiny
Yet the reason why I must terrorize is
You all refused to listen to me

So beware for the rise of a new corps
Beware of what you fear worst
Meticulous planning
Tenacity spanning
A whole career of denial
Yet through fear I'll
Establish order undisputed
Remove the Maltusians
And show them all my might

My corps will claim the yellow light as theirs
So beware

You reap what you sow
So now you must know
That I was in the right

No one who stands in my path will be spared
So beware!

So I figured I'd mix things up a little. I've got four other songs on the backburner but I wanted to try my hand at a duet for once and a song that is less of an obvious character piece. For those curious as to the notation B is lines Batman says and R is lines the Red Hood says. I'm curious for reactions to this as it is significantly different from the other stuff I have.

One Rule
B: There are lines that can't be crossed
There are things you shouldn't do
For you pay too high a price
And you lose a piece of you

You don't justify the means
In the service of an end
Smashing all rules to smithereens
Till there is no code left to break or bend

Set a thief to catch a thief
Trap a liar with a lie
But don't traffic in their grief
Caught up in the score of eye for eye

Nothing wrong can turn out right
By saying wrong's all right to do
Men like us must fight the fight
But this tenant still holds true

You don't kill someone
This rule's absolute
You don't load a gun
Then take aim and shoot

You don't kill a man
Just to get a clue
This is not a plan
Gotham's defenders can pursue

R: Old man, frankly I know better than you
Look what your code did to me
If we all follow your plan then we're screwed
It's nothing more than another form of insanity

B: You don't kill a someone
R: This job must be done
B: This rule is absolute
R: And that is the truth
B: You don't load a gun
R: I will be the one
B and R: To take aim and shoot

B: You don't kill a man
As part of some design
R: It's all right I can
Rid us of the scum that ruins lives

B: You've crossed too many lines
R: You don't get to dictate this path of mine
B and R: I'll have to stop you this time

So I figured you all might enjoy a song I have been working on in the background. Let me know what you think. It's a little repetitive but I ended up liking the final product somewhat. I appreciate feedback as this is a bit of an out there song.

Doomsday Song

Endless destruction,
Annihilation,
Eradication,
Obliteration,
Complete and total decimation
The end has come

Its all on the line, you do or you die
You're out of time, staring death in the eye
Your destination, the final damnation
Your whole world consigned to the conflagaration

Cometh the beast, who bays for blood
Cometh the end, bodies broken in mud
There's nothing left
Fight on, that's right on
You'll die like the rest

Doomsday!
Doomsday!

You can believe, but none of it mattered
There's no reprieve, you'll be broken and battered
The end is upon you, the last of days
The monster moves ever onward, in a violent craze
There's no hope, at the end of the rope
Endless might, your final fight
Nothing to save, the world's a grave
Doomsday is upon you, and destruction is what he craves

The final mercy, the unworthy, all falter before the beast
Endless carnage, death unvarnished, his glorious feast

Endless destruction,
Anihillation,
Eradication,
Obliteration,
Decimation
The end has come

Its all on the line, you do or you die
You're out of time, staring death in the eye
Your destination, the final damnation
Your whole world consigned to the conflagaration

Cometh the beast, who bays for blood
Cometh the end, bodies broken in mud
There's nothing left
Fight on, that's right on
You'll die like the rest

Doomsday!
Doomsday!

You can believe, but none of it mattered
There's no reprieve, you'll be broken and battered
The end is upon you, the last of days
The monster moves ever onward, in a violent craze
There's no hope, at the end of the rope
Endless might, your final fight
Nothing to save, the world's a grave
Doomsday is upon you, and destruction is what he craves

Doomsday!
DOOMSDAY!
