Somewhere, don’t ask me where, I heard that the secret of the Anti-Life Equation is death. Therefore, this was an effective guard: you had to die to understand it.
Scott Free knows the Anti-Life Equation, so apparently you don’t have to be dead to understand it.
Orion had it for a while in his series written by Walt Simonson (great read) and basically used it to control the universe.
I thought this a good episode – the idea of Darkseid appeaing suddenly with only one episode is appealing to me – things were progressing down one path, but the hereoes have to be ready for anything. Plus, it was all worth it for Superman’s greatest line ever. “Come on! It’s Lex Flippin’ Luthor!”
