LuthorCorp Experiments: The Hero’s Commitment




CHLOE: “LuthorCorp experiments never end well.”










Supervillain experiments never end well,
viewed from the perspective of the hero’s girlfriend
and it’s always been a mainstream media trend
to feature that belle when there’s a story to tell

of a supervillain dragging the world to hell
in his mad plan—dream, design, scheme, quest—to transcend
the world on which the hero and girlfriend depend
for assurances they’re free, not locked in a cell.

The supervillain’s learning—he’s a scientist!—
whatever the outcome of an experiment.
The hero’s girlfriend can’t or won’t see his craft. Her

whining about him the experimentalist
and the hero listening—the hero’s commitment—
must be the fons et origo of mad laughter.
