"And Superman's at the hospital."
What cruel musings are percolating inside that bald sociopathic skull now? Interesting that this Luthor totally discounts the possibility that CK might be Superman. To him, power equals use of power for personal gratification. He can't conceive of anyone being that selfless, so he refuses to consider evidence that might point to Superman having a mundane alternate identity.
I'm glad that Jerome thought to use his aura to help Esperanza. Even though I've never heard of this use of his powers before, it's a logical extension of them and should become part of fanon immediately.
Keep posting! This is a brilliant crossover concept, and I only wish I'd thought of it first! I'm almost eager to see what Lex has cooked up for our couples. I'm sure it'll be totally dastardly.
