In the real world, Lex Luthor calmly closed the PR script, an impeccable professional smile on his face:
"All right, that's the general outline. Sorry for the trouble with this interview."
"No problem. I'll cooperate."
Martian Manhunter nodded slightly.
At the same time, his immense Mind Stone Power swept through Lex Luthor's brain like spilled mercury.
He confirmed that Lex Luthor had told the truth, but deep within the schemer's mind, he also saw countless deranged ideas.
