Comics 101 just did a piece on the "in continuity" story where
Superman supposedly died and had his organs harvested, only to have them
transplanted by Luthor into criminals who developed superpowers as a result:
- in order to catch some fairly run-of-the-mill criminal punks, Superman is willing to order one of his seemingly sentient androids to commit suicide, then have its body harvested and butchered so that these same punks can undergo unnecessary, disfiguring and life-threatening surgery, in full knowledge that the surgeries will be ultimately unsuccessful and lead to their demise.
Does this seem like overkill to anyone else? Hey, here's an idea, Superman: when you had all four of them come in for surgery, why not arrest them before Luthor started chopping off hands and digging out lungs? Just sayin' is all.
