Well, can you really blame Alex for his actions? He was born on a dying world, then rapidly aged by the Monitor to save the universe...
And for what? He percieves himself as morally untouchable because he never HAD to grow up and learn, never had to question anything. He was essentially bred to save a universe that went and screwed itself over with darkness, and he never really had a choice in the matter.
On the other hand, I figure they might explain the darkness of the universe itself as a result of the "perfection" of the little Paradise Alex built. I wonder how he would react to learning that all the bad things that have happened to the universe are HIS fault.
(Superboy Prime, on the other hand, has no excuse. He was raised by the Kents on Earth Prime for the first 16 or so years of his life. He is actually older than Alex Luthor, physically at least. Emotionally, yeah, he's about two. And I hate him.)

Chalts! I'm surprised at you, being a fellow conservative and all...
Your point about Alexander is akin to the "I had a rough childhood your honor and THAT's why I killed all 15 of those people!". Please, oh please. I agree with GC on this. "Well, he's a Luthor" just ain't cutting it.
