Justice League Quote
[After Brainiac reveals himself from within Lex Luthor]
Flash: Dude. That is messed up.
Lex Luthor: I don't understand what's happening!
Brainiac: You are under my control. I have lain dormant within you for years, Lex Luthor, subtly influencing your actions until we arrived at this point. Do you not recall my kidnapping you in this very building?
[A flashback to the Superman: TAS episode "Ghost in the Machine" is shown]
Lex Luthor: Yes... You forced me to build you a new body.
Brainiac: Kal-El destroyed that body, foiling my plans. In any event, I always have a backup plan. Consider: how could you have survived that point-blank blast from me, unless--
Lex Luthor: Unless... It wasn't intended to kill me?
Brainiac: The beam carried a nanotech payload that inserted a microscopic, holistic copy of my program inside your body. Since then I have steadily grown in strength, protecting this body until I could arrange my transfer into a more suitable one.
Lex Luthor: You cured my cancer; gave me super-strength!
Brainiac: Your animal-protein shell was insufficient for my needs. Improvements were required.
Flash: Hate to interrupt this special live performance of "The Thing With Two Heads", but it's time to go to jail now.
Amanda Waller: What he said. [shoots Brainiac/Luthor]
