Abnormal Ammo | |
| Inviolate (Fanfic) / int_12c65d9b | comment |
Abnormal Ammo: Lex's gun during the assault on Cadmus seems like it's just shooting ordinary bullets, until he admits that he specifically needed a large caliber weapon because the bullets have RFID chips in them that provide targeting for a disintegration weapon he had in his coat. | |

Earth Is the Center of the Universe | |
| Inviolate (Fanfic) / int_18e33968 | comment |
Earth Is the Center of the Universe: Played with and justified. We're effectively a Guardian weapons depot. That's why so many last of their kind aliens keep ending up on Earth and why so many alien species out there keep trying to invade it. Eventually becomes literal. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Inviolate (Fanfic) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Considering how often she showed up, it seemed likely that Batgirl was originally intended to play a larger role, but the author acknowledges that in an effort to keep the story on-track, he had to remove a few storylines focused on her and will end up having to use those ideas in a planned sequel. | |

| Inviolate (Fanfic) / int_3a90dc63 | comment |
Aliens Are Bastards: Lex has been of this opinion from day one, and the fic pretty much validates it, once the big bads are revealed. Though it's only the Guardians of Oa that are the Bastards. Lex has gotten over his pathological hatred of Superman. | |

Badass Boast | |
| Inviolate (Fanfic) / int_86b21114 | comment |
Badass Boast: Lex pulls a few of these and so do his antagonists. It's mostly of the jostling for dominance variety, as psychological warfare and an interrogation tactic. "It's not as important to me as you'd think. I've got bigger fish to fry. I can and will wreck this country if you push me. You know I could. You worked for me and you know what I'm capable of. I'll do it and make everyone believe it was your fault. With the push of a few buttons, I can break you. Do not test me, Waller." "Your men are dead. I killed them on my way here. Your cameras are under my control. This entire facility is set to self-destruct at my word. There will be no body for them to find, you have my word on that. There will be no investigation. No one will know what happened to you. My name will be clean, I will be praised to the high heavens. Your conspiracy will die in flames as I disassemble it. There is no carrot. There is only stick. Answer me or die in agony." This one was delivered by Paul Westfield to Luthor on behalf of the Manhunters: "Your race has been shaped entirely by us. What you are today was through our auspices. What you have achieved we have generously given you." Westfield's voice began to take on animation once more. "When Atlantis lay on the verge of taking to the stars. We were new to our task and overeager. We destroyed it entirely. We showed greater restraint when Rome reached the peak of its Empire building. We led the barbarians that sacked it. When the kingdom of Prester John stood poised to unite the African continent under a single rule and from there the world? We destroyed it so thoroughly it exists only in legend. We are why the Han conquered the Chinese. We are why the Crusades happened. We were in command of the Allied forces that toppled the Third Reich. Your entire race's history of trying to rise above it's station has ever been tempered by our hand striking you down." Lex kicked the Negotiator in the side, pushing him into the wall, where Lex pinned him by keeping his foot on the being's chest. "Were you not listening when I explained who we've fought and beaten? I'm going to be busy dealing with the Oans first, but if you give me reason, I promise you I will make war upon you so costly that your Empire's economy will spend generations trying to recover from what I will do to you. You, personally, I will hold responsible. Your people will hold you personally responsible for bringing my wrath down upon them. With this data in mind, do a cost benefit analysis, Negotiator. Ignore your hurt pride. Look into my eyes. What do the numbers tell you?" | |

My God, What Have I Done? | |
| Inviolate (Fanfic) / int_a1b141f4 | comment |
My God, What Have I Done?: After Luthor undoes the tampering the Manhunter's did to the Lazurus Pits that causes insanity with repeated use, this is Ra's Al-Ghul's reaction to all the evil's he's done, resulting in him comitting himself into a clinic in upstate New York; as Luthor puts it, "He's had a rough century". He then tricks the Joker into jumping in (he bet a Klondike Bar he wouldn't) for the purposes of a) further testing, and b) giving Batman less to distract him from the imminent assualt on Oa. When Mr. J crawls out, he's a bawling mess, begging to be locked up in Arkham. | |

Oh, Crap! | |
| Inviolate (Fanfic) / int_ad1db87c | comment |
Oh, Crap!: Occurs multiple times as the situation conspires to really mess with Lex's plans, but most noteable in In Chapter 19: Lex could only scream in frustrated horror as his carefully laid plans to end the Guardians of Oa cleanly and quietly went up in flames and plasma bursts. | |

Deadpan Snarker: Mercy does this on occasion, but mostly when she's "off-duty". Lex do after he's gone through some Character Development. | |

What You Are in the Dark | |
| Inviolate (Fanfic) / int_afc6df04 | comment |
What You Are in the Dark: Played very straight at the end. In Chapter 25, Lex is alone in a collapsing parasite universe. He has an opportunity to attain absolute God-like power, but it will result in the destruction of his home universe. He chooses to not only give up the power, but to sacrifice himself to save everyone else. | |

Bottomless Magazines | |
| Inviolate (Fanfic) / int_b2cdd776 | comment |
Bottomless Magazines: Lex's gun during the assault on Cadmus appears to have one. He claims that it's manufacturing the bullets from thin air, but is actually teleporting them into the bottom of the magazine from a warehouse in New Jersey, so justified and partly deconstructed. | |

Science Hero | |
| Inviolate (Fanfic) / int_b55e8979 | comment |
Science Hero: Lex is most definitely one, with a side of Guile Hero to back it up. Even when he's Storming the Castle, he mostly relies on gadgets, and being prepared. | |

Hypercompetent Sidekick: Eve Teschmacher, Luthor's secretary and then later Executive Assistant shows signs of this, mostly because Lex is so focused on his schemes that he doesn't have time to actually run his company. | |

Despair Event Horizon | |
| Inviolate (Fanfic) / int_dda99fa8 | comment |
Despair Event Horizon: Lex goes through one of these once he finds out that his entire life he has been manipulated. This causes him to to get over his hatred of Superman and take all that hate and point it at the Conspiracy. Lex also weaponizes one by pumping Doctor Psycho full of Fear Toxin and putting him inside the Cadmus building. | |

The Cape: Lex slowly becomes this over the course of the story and clinches it in the Final. He could rule over a new universe as a God at the cost of his own universe. Instead he sacrifices his own life to save his universe. | |

Adaptation Origin Connection | |
| Inviolate (Fanfic) / int_e8dca77c | comment |
Adaptation Origin Connection: The Manhunters, and by extension the Guardians of Oa, have been involved in several key events of the DCU, including the following: Wiping out the Czarnians and manipulating Lobo into taking the blame. Seperating the Burning Ones into the White and Green Martians, and unleashing the telepathic plague that nearly wiped them both out. Kick starting the rampant revanchism and xenophobia that indirectly led to the near extinction of Kyptonians. | |

Mundane Utility | |
| Inviolate (Fanfic) / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: A good example shows up in the first chapter when Lex is talking about his sonic weapon: "I've never actually hit anyone with it at level ten, but I tried it on a steak once. Vibrated the thing so hard the meat not only cooked to medium rare, but I ended up with quite possibly the most tender cut of beef you could imagine as the connective tissues and bones were practically liquified." A gruesomely amused grin crossed the man's face. "I could cut it with a plastic fork. Can you imagine what it would do to a human body?" The device that actually kicked off the plot (the Slide) is a low-energy teleporter that also functions as a microscope, telescope, MRI, spy camera, and video telephone. Perhaps it could do more, but that's everything Lex uses it for. | |
