* TookALevelInJerkass: While it was already hinted at during "Twilight" and his refusal to help Apokolips, during the ''Justice League Unlimited'' phase, Superman gets more frustrated towards Lex Luthor's presidential campaign, convinced that he's feigning reform, and is far more prone to using more brutal, if not outright lethal, methods on his foes (chiefly Doomsday). "Clash" forced the issue front and center, as Superman's distrust of Luthor caused him to get into a fight with Captain Marvel, resulting in him leveling an entire housing property and nearly ''killing a child''. He was right that Luthor was faking his reform, but the fact he was dangerously close to becoming like his Justice Lord counterpart made him realize how horrible he was acting, and issued a public apology before he announced the League was disbanding (though that last bit never happened thanks to Green Arrow's encouragement).
