*** And they already did. They wanted to kill Superman simply for ''disagreeing with then''.

** Vulnerability to magic? Hat tries to exploit that. Superman's response is to ''rip the air out of his lungs'' to the point that he can't even breathe, much alone say his magic words.

** The fact that this is Creator/GeorgeNewbern somehow makes all of this worse. This is the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' Superman. This is the man who delivered ''the'' WorldOfCardboardSpeech. The way he delivers the every bit of dialogue when he pretends to snap is made that much worse.

--->'''Hat''': (casually flicking it off) Ick.

* Franchise/{{Superman}}'s entire means of dispatching the Elite.
** A simple poison dart, and he puts Pam in so much pain that her heart stops. In a single kill [[spoiler:or what looks like one]], he proves how much harm a single being can do when armed with a fortress full of doomsday weaponry.

** He ''mocks'' Black with the [[spoiler:supposed]] whereabouts of Coldcast. Where is he? Heading for orbit at ''Mach Seven''. For those unversed in such measurements, that means he's exiting Earth's atmosphere at over ''five thousand miles per hour.'' He says, quite simply, "If you had super-hearing, any second now, you'd hear the '[[ExplosiveDecompression pop]].'" Thus is the realization: if Superman wanted, he could ''carry'' most of his opponents to death.

** And during his confrontation with Black, he [[spoiler:makes it look like he]] doesn't bother with limiting collateral damage. He hits the ground like a meteor, and then effortlessly dodges most of Black's attacks to the point that his super speed turns into [[FlashStep Flash Step]]ping. And then he [[spoiler:lobotomizes Black.]] Even after taking the biggest hit Black could throw at him, it took almost ''nothing'' to focus his [[spoiler:heat vision into a scalpel into a meta-gene boosted human and cut out what made him so special.]]

* The realization by the members of the UN that after being 'killed' by the Elite, it's not Superman anymore. He was more than just a FlyingBrick: he was a set of ideals for humanity to aspire to. Stripped of those ideals, he's a morally-unrestrained demigod that terrifies some of the most influential people on Earth with nothing more than a few sentences.

* Superman's entire means of dispatching the Elite.

* The Atomic Skull's murder of innocent people. They're scared, they're glowing, and then crumble to dust.

* The realization that Superman created a whirlwind ''on the moon.'' It's not sci-fi artistic license: he's moving that fast.

Technically, Superman is lying when he says, "If you had super-hearing, you'd hear a 'pop,'" because [[spoiler:for one thing, none of them are dead, but mainly because]] at that speed, Coldcast would've been torn apart by G-forces long before succumbing to the effects of vacuum.
