Quotes 

• Lex Luthor Clone : I am dying, Clark. But don't flatter yourself, you didn't do it. I'm just sorry that this mutated body won't last long enough to see the world turn on you.

  Clark Kent : What did you do?

  Lex Luthor Clone : There's an explosion rocking the roof of the The Daily Planet. You can stop the beacon from plummeting into the rush hour traffic, or you can save the woman you love.

  Clark Kent : Lois. Where is she?

  Lex Luthor Clone : Even you aren't fast enough to save both. Today, the world will finally lose faith in its heretic hero! And it will destroy you.

  Clark Kent : Where is she?

  Lex Luthor Clone : Where I first saved you.

• Clark Kent : Where's the *real* Lex?

  Lex Luthor Clone : The creator died two years ago. Nasty truck explosion.

  Clark Kent : If he's not alive, then why...

  Lex Luthor Clone : Why am I? He created us to heal himself. He just didn't live long enough to reap the benefits. You remember this place, don't you? Not far where we first met.

  Clark Kent : The bridge. Yeah, Lex would have died if I hadn't pulled him out of that car.

  Lex Luthor Clone : And you never let me forget it. The truth is, by the time you dragged me to shore, something new had crept into your heart - pride. The most damning of the seven deadly sins. Now you wear that pride on your chest. Right here in that self-righteous symbol. But just beneath it lies the darkness in your heart. Just like me, you are your own worst enemy.

  Clark Kent : I'm nothing like you.

  Lex Luthor Clone : We're more like brothers than you think. That's why you could never stop me. Because deep down inside, you know you brought death and destruction! The only reason anyone ever calls you a hero is because you clean up the disasters you unleash.

• Lois Lane : You know Clark?

  Lex Luthor Clone : I saved him that day. Right here on this very spot. And all he did was betray me!

  Lois Lane : Lex? What happened to you?

  Lex Luthor Clone : I've evolved. And with age comes wisdom. Hmm? You see, Lois, you are his greatest weakness. Or should I say The Blur's greatest weakness. Your death will break him.

• Lex Luthor Clone : "And would that I might endure his agony as well as mine." The Scarlet Letter. Of course, the letter... is a mark of shame. At least it was when I found Clark tied to that post ten years ago.

• Lex Luthor Clone : There can be only "one" Lex Luthor.
