Luthor's Sin

"Luthor opened the Boom Tube, but that hadn't actually been his intention."

"Before Superman killed him, I spoke with him."

"To fight Steppenwolf, superheroes including Superman and me formed the Justice League."

"But what Luthor truly wanted was to dismantle every organization that protected Superman, then kill Superman."

"The Red Alliance and the Justice League were both his targets."

"Even I found it hard to imagine that someone could do so much just to kill Superman."

After that.

Luthor rescued Aquaman's enemies from Atlantis's desert prison.

They were Orm, the Prince of Atlantis, and a mercenary named Black Manta.

He then had Orm and Black Manta return to Atlantis and fight Arthur for power.

Meanwhile, he declared war on the Red Alliance to tie down its military strength.

At the same time, he deciphered part of the Anti-Life Equation carved into Earth's surface.

None of them could hold back any longer and immediately started cursing.

Luthor had once used a Mother Box as an energy source to transform a Kryptonian corpse into Doomsday.
