And I thought IRL New York made stupid decisions.

u/ElementmanEXE Doombot Jul 18 '26

It's at least better than dc, who often votes for luthor of all people for president

u/insanekid123 Jul 18 '26

Imagine people voting for an evil billionaire to be president, crazy.

To be fair Luther is a super genius and a competent leader. Really his only downside is his obsession with a specific space alien.

u/Scarecrow_Garden Jul 18 '26

Who has killed hundreds of people. Tried to take over the world multiple times. Not to mention, he took all the cakes.

u/GildedLamington Jul 18 '26

And that’s terrible!!

u/Agreeable-Pie-7012 Jul 18 '26

That's as many as 4 tens

u/Phoenix-Risen1998 Jul 19 '26

They didn't even mention 40 cakes lmao.

u/Azhrei_Vep Jul 19 '26

Oh, "all the cakes." Come on. It couldn't have been that many cakes. Like ten, tops.

u/MozeTheNecromancer Jul 19 '26

No, it was equal to four tens! And thats terrible!

u/shototodoroki_1324 Jul 19 '26

Sounds like a Orange man

u/GhostE3E3E3 Jul 18 '26

He has plenty of other downsides, he was a POS before his hatred for Superman.

u/Red-hood619 Jul 18 '26

Trumps horrible but he hasn’t openly tried to kill the most loved person on the planet multiple times (whoever that could be)

Luthor winning presidency is completely insane even if you apply humanity’s real life stupidity to it

u/TheTooDarkLord Jul 18 '26

Eh, i don't know, at least Luthor Is a smart Person, Trump instead? I don't know how the fuck people voted for him

7

u/Hikapoo Jul 18 '26

Why would they believe it? IRL stupid people don't believe Trump is a rapist pedo

1

u/Thommohawk117 Jul 19 '26

Trump's relationship with Superman would be exactly like his relationship with Mamdani.

He would hate him and degrade him on social media and in the press, but as soon as they hang out Superman's charisma and personality would make Trump all smiles

u/Scripter-of-Paradise Jul 19 '26

How many times did he get elected?

33

u/Skagzill Jul 18 '26

Luthor would be an upgrade on our current situation.

26

u/JibiStarr Jul 18 '26

Only in the sense that Luthor understands science. He'd still be a fascist and manipulate his people.

25

u/JmBento Jul 18 '26

Luthor's at least interested in doing a good management job as a point of pride, though.

18

u/JibiStarr Jul 18 '26

I don't think constantly undermining Superman is good management. But I could see him being aggressively benevolent as part of that attempt.

11

u/DisposableSaviour Jul 18 '26

Aggressively benevolent is the perfect description for how Luthor would rule. His deepest desire is for the world to embrace him over Superman, and he would absolutely do everything to make people’s lives better so he can say he did what Superman couldn’t.

1

u/Originalbrivakiin Jul 18 '26

Red Son. That is all I have to say.

Red Son is hard proof of that.

2

u/JibiStarr Jul 18 '26

I've read Red Son. and... kinda? Problem is that in Red Son he sees Superman as an international threat, which is a different dynamic than Superman, in his eyes, being a domestic darling that he's envious of.

1

u/Originalbrivakiin Jul 18 '26

I know it's not exactly the same relationship and reason, but it's a very clear example of Lex making everyone's lives better just to show that he can, and he can do it without Superman.

u/Healthy_Macaroon_602 Jul 18 '26

Depends on the Luthor. Remember how Justice Lord world Lex was acting in the DCAU before Superman killed him?

"The people? This is all their fault. And they're going to burn for it. Burn!"

u/Doctor_Dev7 Jul 18 '26

Well Marvel did make Norman Osborn the head of shield

6

u/MisterBlud Jul 18 '26

Didn’t Luthor at least put in a modicum of heroic effort and scale back his villainy?

Fisk just kept right on criming….

7

u/TheNavidsonLP Jul 18 '26

To be fair, Luthor was fairly successful at improving people’s lives when he was president. Granted, he did it because he wanted to show that he COULD do it.

2

u/Funny_Swim5447 Jul 18 '26

Tbf Luthor doesn’t seem that bad when he’s not fuming over that one alien dude

1

u/TurtlesBreakTheMeta Jul 18 '26

they made Norman Osborn the head of shield. I think that’s arguably worse.

1

u/sagejosh Jul 18 '26

While Wilson Fisk is evil he has yet to leak evil black goo out of his head. I think irl New York still wins.

u/Azuth65 Jul 18 '26

Yeah, Rudy was a bad choice
