Did you notice the little holes in their foreheads? Also, the only reason those JLA members were 'more ruthless' was because Flash had died, and the cartoon portrayed him as the group's conscience, which isn't the case in the comic books.
Are you sure he didn't kill Lex in that episode? I don't think they showed him again after that scene in his office. I want to say that he did kill him and that's what started the whole martial law bit. I know he neutered the rest of the villains but I think he offed Lex. If he just lobotomized Lex, I don't think there would have been much impact to the story. I think the shock was that Supes finally killed Lex. I have it on tape and i'll watch it again to be sure.
