@753: Mr Majestic to me represents not what Superman IS but rather an extremely cynical view of him that reflects the creator's insecurities and inability to understand that not everything is horribly filthy and corrupt. I like the direction they've taken of late with MM, having him become MORE like Superman and thus gain a more positive outlook on humanity. Don't forget it was Superman who convinced him that if he lived more among the humans he might learn to appreciate them more. Indeed he learned a lot from spending time with humans and isn't as much of an ******* anymore.

Except that's false. He abused his powers too much. He was corrupted too much. He stole the most amount of money in history. His sons raped people, killed, and soo much more. That was a bad example.To be fair though, what Sinestro did on his home world is something no other hero on earth can do. Look how much Superman, Batman, and the hundreds of other heroes struggle just to put people in jail only to make them come back a month later. Imo, they won't be able to hold the entire world using that system.
Under Saddam Christians and Homosexuals were safe to walk the streets, that isn't the case anymore. He isn't really much different from Sinestro.
Yes but where is the line? A good leader shouldn't be a hardass, a good leader should be a contemplative and compassionate paragon of wisdom and justice. I'll say it again our world would benefit greatly from a guy like Alexander Luthor Sr, far more than it would from some fascist vigilantes or superpowered Punishers like what the Authority represent.
