"No, you need me; You wouldn't be much of a hero without a villain, and you do love being the hero, don't you. The cheering children, the swooning women? You love it so much, it's made you my most reliable accomplice! (Alternate Superman: Accomplice? What're you-) You could've crushed me anytime you wanted, and it wasn't the law or the will of the people that stopped you; It was your ego. Being a hero was too important to you. You as much responsible for this as I am! So go ahead, fix this somehow, put me on trial, lock me up, but I'll beat it; And then we'll start the whole thing all over again."
