Lex Luthor Explained

Les Jones on what superhero comics have taught him:
If you make a sentient robot that’s indistinguishable from a human being and has superpowers like flight, laser bolts, and invisibility you shouldn’t start a business and sell it on the free market. Instead you should try to kill Superman and become mayor of Metropolis.

This is something that I've thought about for quite a while. If I had superpowers, the first question I would ask myself is "How can I make a lot of money from these powers?", not "How can I become a secret, tormented hero, likely to be killed at some point in the future?"
