#happy zsjl's day to everybody who celebrates it!

"--what you can do now, Victor. Your physical strength is just the tip of the iceberg. The tip of the tip.

In a world of ones and zeroes, you are the absolute master. No firewall can stop you. No encryption can defy you. We're all at your mercy, Vic. From our power grids to our telecommunications, everyone's lives are controlled and dominated by complex digital networks that will bend, without effort, to your will.

The fate of the world will literally rest in your hands.

Its entire nuclear arsenal, you could launch with a thought.

The world's monetary systems and its complex interactions will seem as easy to manipulate for you as a child's plaything.

The question-- No, the challenge... Won't be doing it. It will be not doing. Not seeing. It is the burden of this responsibility that will define you and who you choose to be.

Victor... Victor, these are the words and deductions of a scientist. That's how I've been speaking to you.

Now, let me speak to you from my heart. Not as a scientist, as a father. Huh, your father twice over. I brought you into the world and back to it. You can't imagine how proud I am, of who you are, have always been. So many years with you I've wasted, so many wrongs I've left un-righted. Everything breaks, Victor. Everything changes. The world is hurt, broken, unexchageable. The world's not fixed in the past, only the future. The not yet. The now. The now is you. Now, now is your time, Victor. To rise. Do this, be this, the man I never was, the hero that you are. Take your place among the brave ones. The ones that were, that are, that have yet to be. It's time you stand...fight...discover...heal, love, win. The time is now."

—Silas Stone's complete message to Victor in Zack Snyder's Justice League.
