Wolé Parks: The Stranger, Captain Luthor

Quotes 

• Superman : How do you know my name?

  The Stranger : I know everything there is to know about the Last Son of Krypton. Where I come from, let's just say the two of us have history.

  Superman : And where is that, exactly?

  The Stranger : Nowhere now. My world was destroyed. But somehow, I managed to survive. I eventually arrived here, where I learned you were here, too.

  [catching him as Superman punches his way through a wall] 

  The Stranger : Not as fast as I thought.

• The Stranger : Aren't you curious how I know so much about you, Kal-El? Like me, your home was destroyed. You were sent here as an infant to a world where you'd spend your whole life trying to prove your worth, convince yourself you were one of them, but you're not! You're still that scared, lost child, desperate for the love of people that will never accept you! And the only remnants of your real home, kryptonite, make you sick.

  [stabbing Clark with a piece of kryptonite] 

  The Stranger : Dust to dust.

• Superman : I found your message. I know you're here.

  The Stranger : And I know you can't see me. Lead encasements. You can't see through lead. One of your few weaknesses.

  Superman : That's why you're choosing nuclear facilities. You can watch me without me knowing.

  The Stranger : And see how good you really are, Kal-El.

• [last lines] 

  The Stranger : We need to improve tactile function and speed if I'm gonna end this.

  A.I. Device : We also need kryptonite. That was the last of your supply.

  The Stranger : Then we'll have to go get some.

  A.I. Device : I'll start the upgrades to your armor right away... Captain Luthor.
