Actually…as evil plans go, this is outright brilliant.
See: he doesn’t spend money on lobbying – he spends it on a weapon. Which he then plans to sell to the government. Which…means the government will see the reasoning behind lowering taxes as an investment, since that means it’ll probably create more jobs for Shitropolis people (and in extension, to the people of the country), which is exactly the excuse they need to fuel their own goals!
Truly, this man is a paragon of the right. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to put my brain on bleach for even considering this was a genius idea.
Is there really a difference between a lobbyist and a superweapon these days? Both are capable of putting power into untrustworthy (and sometimes outright terrible) hands, both can decimate entire communities and economies…
I can think of one difference; the superweapon’s basic honesty of purpose.
The super weapon still has a use, after you’ve used it for your purpose, it also employed people in its creation, and in the worst case, can be dismantled to build something else of use.
Roundabout approach to “Cut Lex Luthor a Check” but keeps the flavor of supervillainy while still, as already mentioned, being more honest than the lobbyist route.
This guy Chex Cluthor is talking to has Small-Time Crime ‘Boss’ written all over him. Consider what a massive flex it would be to show him this superweapon, so beyond any level of power he could ever hope to achieve, explain the banal way you intend to use it, and then sit down in the next room and talk about how you want him to kidnap a newspaper reporter, or something.
Well, at least he’s not forcing them to name a freeway after him (and letting him design it).
Well, it’s less dumb than hacking a couple of missiles to sink California in the sea, just to have beachfront properties to sell.
Some would argue that sinking California into the sea could be seen as a desirable ends on its own merits…
You know the government’s a mess when Doomsday devices are less expensive approach than campaign contributions. :P
Actually, I’d say the system’s a mess when campaign contributions let you lower your taxes.
I like a lot that they took the ’70s movie version of LL and Otis.
Did you notice that the LL counterpart design was influenced by the Harley Quinn cartoon? (Which is suitable for anything doing with Shitropolis.)

Really nice Lex luthor reference.
Yeah, I 100% hear this in Clancy Brown’s Luthor voice.
At least this supervillain actually pays his taxes
Unlike some REAL businesses. :-/
Looks like Jake Kong Jr lost his hair, and Eddie Spencer Jr got better fashion sense.

And then get defeated anyway, because someone offered you some fruit pies.
lol I really needed a laugh.
This person should run for President.
He does, and then all hell comes loose.
Phew! For a minute there, I thought we’d be in trouble!
Why is Foggy Nelson dressed like Kolchak?
