Lex Luthor
- Lex Luthor: [sees Question sitting in his office] Question, isn't it? I believe you took something that belongs to me.
- The Question: Have you seen the latest polls? It's beginning to look like you're going to be our next president... just like in that other world.
- Lex Luthor: I wouldn't bet against me.
- The Question: No, it wouldn't be prudent. I want you to understand something, Luthor: although my distaste for you as a human being is brobdingnagian, what I'm about to do isn't personal.
- Lex Luthor: What are you babbling about?
- The Question: Everything that exists has a specific nature, each entity exists as something in particular and has characteristics that are part of what it is. "A" is "A". And no matter what reality he calls home, "Luthor" is "Luthor". If I'm to save the world, your existence must come to an end, before you take office.
- Lex Luthor: ...You're going to kill me so that Superman can't.
- The Question: I'm a well-known crackpot. The Justice League's reputation will survive my actions... and Superman's legacy will remain intact.
- Lex Luthor: Interesting plan. Unfortunately for you, it's not really an option.
- [he flings out his arm, hitting Question hard enough to knock him into the opposite wall]
- [Luthor has beaten up The Question, who came to his office to kill him, believing that Superman would do it if Luthor became President]
- Lex Luthor: [laughing] President? Foolish faceless man. My campaign is a farce. A small part of a much grander scheme. President ?
- [grabs Question by the throat and slaps him twice]
- Lex Luthor: Do you know how much power I'd have to give up to be president?
- [throws The Question across the room]
- Lex Luthor: That's right, conspiracy buff. I spent $75 million on a fake presidential campaign all just to tick Superman off.
