#lex has hair in this

[madam-miss-fortune]

I have a super funny elseworlds idea but idk if it's been done.

Basically, au Lex Luthor travels to roughly canon-ish dc world, and everyone has to react to a version of Lex that is, get this, Superman. Like, I'm not kidding.

His name is Lex-El and he's [insert synonym for super]man. He also has hair. And he grew up with the Kents. And he has archenemy named Kalvin Luthor, or just Kal Luthor. You get the vision here?

Also Lex's best friend is Joseph "Joey" Kerr who is Gotham's Joker and Joey's worst enemy is the Batman, a super evil dude who kills small criminals out of hatred for Joe Chill cuz the dude could just never get over it.

I have even more ideas. Like, imagine Lena Luthor and Kara also switching roles! Kara Luthor and Lena Kent. Lena is Lex's cousin obvs and Kara is like a sort of supervillain but not really? Eh who cares.

Lex is Vlad reincarnated

So! Lex Luther, the greatest person to ever exist, had recently made a discovery.

A few weeks ago, a Cult of moronic simpletons had managed to kidnap him. Him! All for some stupid Demonic ritual where they sacrifice the wealthiest man they could find in return for something meaningless like "No More Poverty" or "No More Starvation".

He had survived, of course, and was unfortunately save by Supermoron.

But before the Man of Steel had busted in, he overheard something from the Cultists. Apparently they had chosen him for more than just his wealth, there was something more about his Soul that they were after. It felt "Divine", as if he had the soul of a God stuffed in a Mortal's body.

And obviously it must be correct. He was already the most intelligent man in the world, One of the wealthiest, and held more political power than any single man on the planet, so of course "God in disguise" was the next logical addition to that List.

Over the next few weeks he studied and prepared.

He needed to make sure that his efforts would be rewarded, that those Cultists had been correct about him despite their idiocy.

After buying up as many Magical Artifacts as he could related to Identity and Soul, he tested himself on Each and Every One. And Lo and Behold, he is truly a God.

Well, the Reincarnation of One. Apparently this was common in immortal beings such as himself, reincarnating themselves into mortal bodies as a sort of Vacation from their Duties. All he needed to do now was find a way to regain his Memories and Power without dying, and he would truly become a God On Earth.

A few more weeks of Preparation, and he was ready.

Apparently the Manchild of Steel had caught onto his plan in that time. His Ego probably couldn't bear another God living in the same City as himself, so he tried to stop Lex's plans of Ascension. Thankfully, in his research he had discovered his Rival's vulnerability to Magical Attacks, and set up countermeasures for him and his Breakfast Club should they attempt to interfere.

He stepped into the Ritual Circle, and began his Ascension to Godhood.

Try as they might, the League could not foil his plans this time. The Ritual Circle lit up with a sickly green light, and expanded to cover his entire body. The Ritual began to finally complete itself.

He had Won.

...

Oh.

...

Vlad stood at the center of the circle for a few moments. He took in all his Memories of his most recent Life, and Facepalmed so hard he was sure The Badger heard it back in the Realms.

Ten Tousand Years of Therapy specifically to curb his egotistical tendencies, and That is how he decides to spend his most recent Life? Acting as a Billionare Supervillain attacking a well meaning Hero for nothing less than Ego?! He even Cloned them!? Had he learned NOTHING!?!?

"Careful Team, we don't know how powerful he is now." He heard his current Nemesis say.

Oh right...they were still there.

He didn't really feel like explaining everything to them, and he technically still had about 40 years left on his Vacation...

He simply turned his back to them, flew back to his Mansion, turned back into his Human Form, and set about his Day. Maybe he could right a few of the wrongs he had done on this life?

It would certainly throw his current Nemesis for a loop. And while he may not Hate him anymore, he definitely still liked to Mess with him.

Maybe this would be more entertaining than he thought?

the thing about maws is when you recognize recycled animation assets from Voltron you have to forcibly repress a shudder and keep going

Smallville | 5.11 | "Lockdown"

As sort of expected after browsing the Fodlan games,

At times, the French localised script is different from the eng one, but I've heard this game's eng localisation was discussed a bit so...

I guess as long as there's nothing on the level of Rhage I won't be bothered, granted I'm not over analysing characters and writing serious posts about them yet lol

So far, Ilenia was a badass and would have put Fado to shame, instead of waiting for her execution on her throne, she takes some people with her and launches an attack at the enemy commander to act as a diversion while her son escapes. And then we have a redux of the scene where Finn escapes Leonster castle smuggling his young prince away.

I'm half wondering if not rescuing Scarlett will spare me from jiggle physics because the only other female character I have now definitively doesn't have them, but given how the protag wants to save her...

Alain, on the true and tried fe tradition, beats red units to later recruit them, I can't wait to recruit more people lol.

Non plot wise... The artwork/background/even clothes and armors for the characters are pretty and while I know I'm old, I still don't understand why some devs insist on giving us weird af 3D models when you can still do beautiful and awesome models/graphisms in 2D.

The battalion sort of system makes a frightening amount of sense, and while I know FE is FE so gameplay wise it would have been really complicated to put in place, but I legit can't imagine for hcs or even fics ideas Fodlan now without a similar system lol

LEX LUTHOR AS IVO’S ASSISTANT?!?!?

[bcdwclves]

also im going absolutely crazy over this idea, i have not once stopped thinking about this potential beefcake of a woman.

[luthwhore]

I feel like I have to see where Lena's character is going before I start judging... but if Lena is back does that mean Contessa is too? Lex's marriage is canon again?

hard to say, williamson seems to be playing kind of fast and loose with canon. i’m kind of hoping not though, other than lena i don’t really care for most aspects of that era of canon for lex.

it is interesting though, bc williamson is acknowledging clark and lex growing up together. given that lex seems to be a few years older than clark i would probably probably estimate him somewhere between 45-50? which means with lena being a teenager he was probably early 30s when she was born, much younger than the post-crisis canon actually had him when she was born originally.

we’ve gotten some flashbacks of lex’s younger years already in williamson’s run so i’m curious how in depth he’s going to go. he clearly knows his shit re: canon but he really likes to pick and choose with wild abandon what he’s interested in using and what he isn’t. i mean, we have lena II, clark & lex growing up together (with a bit of a smallville-ish slant to their relationship), leticia luthor being alive and ripped straight out of the cw’s supergirl… it’s a very chaotic mix, but i personally don’t mind too much so far since it’s still largely been pretty easy to follow.

re: the contessa specifically, i doubt he’d still be married to her with lena being as old as she is. if she’s mentioned at all, i’d be surprised if it’s more than just in passing, and i would imagine she and lex are long since divorced, if she’s even still alive and if williamson isn’t scrapping her altogether.

funniest option would be to make her another genetically engineered test tube baby, tbh.

I think the introduction of Alexa Woods in AVP is one of the best introductions to a female character I've seen in a while, because 'leaving her phone's ringtone on whilst scrambling up a crumbling ice wall, almost falling to her death after being startled by said ringtone, and then answering the call whilst still this close to a horrible demise' is a pretty good way to tell your audience that 'this woman has enough wrong with her that a species of honour-before-reason weirdos would look at her and conclude that she is clearly one of their own.'

[angelsdean]

can you BELIEVE lana finally knows clark's secret but she can't DO anything abt it bc she's trapped in a marriage to lex ????!! losing my whole mind abt it. i've been WAITING for her to find out and then she does !! and she's cool with it !! and she was gonna leave lex at the altar !!! and then lionel --we were all rooting for you! EYE was rooting for you!-- sweeps in to threaten her into marrying lex.........this show. created to purposely drive ME nuts

[canvaswolfdoll]

this doesn't even get to the confusion that legacy heroes and shared identities would cause.

also villains and the superheroes themselves skewing results.

ratemyhero.com would be crazy

Tim tells the Batclan he's going on a space mission with Young Justice for a few weeks, he's got everything sorted civilian side and his cases and patrol routes covered, and also if any of his usual Rogue's Gallery suddenly comes looking for him don't worry about it.

And all of that is fine and normal - except that last part hey Tim what the fuck does that mean?

and Tim just goes it's fine don't worry about it anyway gotta go bye! and then he just bounces

and everything is fine until not even a day later when Babs forwards them a video Red Robin uploaded to his social medias that is a music video of him (Red Robin) seductively lip-syncing along to Chappell Roan's "My Kink is Karma" against a backdrop of fail compilation clips of several of the villains Tim has a particular grudge against, including Azrael, Lex Luthor, and most prominently Ra's al Ghul.

so there's Tim, in a form-fitting catsuit styled like his Red Robin costume, in heels, feeling himself up with a video clip in the background showing Ra's tripping on his own robes and face planting into the brickwork, evidence he dyes out some of the gray in his hair, his sash coming undone and pants falling off in the middle of a fight, trying to swipe the effects of a glitterbomb off of himself, etc.

It all ends with the Mean Girls clip of "why are you so obsessed with me?"

The video is immediately viral.

(There's some clips of Red Hood in there fucking up but Jason can't even be mad because he's laughing so hard he's gonna throw up)

Tim's Rogues absolutely DO show up to Gotham looking for him, and while they all want revenge, Red Robin is THEIR arch enemy like HELL are they going to work with these other embarrassments, so they all start fighting each other and it is absolutely CHAOS (Lex decides discretion is the better part of valor and makes a statement that no of course he has nothing against Red Robin he has no idea why he was included in that video haha yes of course it was Very Funny when a bird accidentally pooped on his head he is Very Capable of laughing at himself Thank You, and then he quietly goes to one of his vacation houses and moodily drinks for several days waiting for things to blow over)

Tim, meanwhile, is having a wonderful vacation with Young Justice, catching up with Lobo and Slobo, chasing down some space pirates, and just getting out of Gotham and away from his Rogues trying to challenge him/seduce him/kill him/whatever.

Bruce is taking the constant psychic damage of having the image of softcore Red Robin erotica burned into his brain along with the realization that way, way, WAY too many of Tim's Rogues want to sleep with him like an absolute champ. (Dick is not taking it like a champ, Dick is taking it like an unhinged vengeful wraith and has had to be benched for trying to tear out Ra's throat with his teeth.)

Stephanie is having the Time of Her Life. Damian cannot look anyone in the eye and absolutely cannot look Ra's (or his mother who ALSO showed up prominently in the video) in the face and is Not Having the Time of His Life.

(Jason is with Steph on this one, he is having SUCH a blast, this is so fucking hysterical)
