[Hello important person who just did an important thing.]

Clark Kent, Daily Planet. Mind if I ask a few questions?

[The scene: the aftermath of a huge battle between none other than Superman himself and some kind of giant spider robot. The property damage was immense, but in the end Superman was victorious and the day was saved!]

Then a minute later, Clark came puffing up.]

Whew...Sorry, got lost in the confusion back there. I didn't miss too much, did I?

[Just as you, being the villainous sort, were crowing your victory to the world, this guy showed up, hovering in the sky above you like gravity was no more than a local parking regulation.]

Maybe you should consider a new career choice.

[A citizen in danger! Just before the meteor hits/you lost your grip on the ledge/the flood wiped away you house, Superman descends from the sky to whisk you away to safety!

What now? Effusive thanks? Did you have it under control already?]

[The soldiers yell and throw down their arms. Their fearless leader gives a little smirk and clasps his hands together behind his back.]

No. I rather consider myself a sane man. For I believe what I am doing is...

[A yellow eye motions away from Superman and to Dok manning the camera. He gives a wink. Dok, nodding, motions for his coat pocket and reveals a remote. With a press of a button, the camera bursts into flames, cutting the feed.]

... is evil unquestionably. But I couldn't very well say that in front of all the eyes watching in the world, could I?

[The Major starts clapping.]

Welcome, Superman! Welcome! We have been anticipating your arrival.

[ex_last_son324]

We don't have time for your moralizing and your speeches, Major. Cancel the launch now, before you drag the whole world into another war!

[He honestly doesn't expect him to agree just like that, but he has to try.]

[genuine_human]

That is absolutely my goal. And yet, it is not.

[The Major toys with the medals he has hanging on the front of his coat.]

This has been a long year for me, you know. Infiltrating the Kasnian military was simple enough. They're so eager for new toys that the entire government may as well be run by children.

[Their surroundings all in all were state of the art, but reminiscent of a certain unsavory period in history.]

I waited through sleepless nights and agonizing days for a chance to acquire the bomb that is making everyone wet themselves. Or as I prefer to call it "bait". Ubermensch.

[He leans forward and extends an arm.]

It is you! It is you I wish to wage war on!

[ex_last_son324]

Well congratulations. You wanted a war with Superman? You got one!

[With that, Superman flashed across the distance between them, his fist raised and ready to punch the Major's lights out!]
