8 Ways Lex Luthor Can Be More Practical Before Man Of Steel 2
5. Dont Worry About Supermans Secret Identity
Yes. I know Superman doesnt need one anymore since he was smoked out. But if he still did, it wouldnt be as valuable to find out as it would seem, because even if you used those he cared about against him, that foolish wannabe Boy Scout would find a way around itand in the end, it would probably result in knowing you tried to hurt people he cares about and sending you to prison. You need to focus not on the image(s) Superman hides behind, not on his feelings toward others, and not on where he lives, but what he really is (an alien who thinks hes better than usdid we already cover that?) and what he can do. Sure, you could technically accomplish the task of finding out the human identity(ies) he uses (a little torture conducted on the staff of the Daily Planet could go a long way), and it could help win you advantages in some ways, but the results of such a search would leave you open to scenarios rife with liability. Such a tangent is just not worth it. Document what the creature can do, and find discreet ways to exploit your conclusions. Maybe you should build a better drone first.
