In the duplicate universe with the good Superman, Lex Luthor is in his cell at Stryker's Island that is just a glass box in a large open space. As he read "Mystery Island" by Jules Verne on his bed, the lights begin to flicker. Lex wonders what it could be. Electric bill not paid? A guard pulling a prank on him? Or something else? He got his answer soon later.
Mysterious Voice: Lex Luthor!
Lex had a slight sense of fear inside of him buy tried his best to hide it. However, the voice sounded slightly familiar.
Lex Luthor: (slightly scared) Yes? Who is it?
Mysterious Voice: We've met before. You took me from my home world and brought me here.
Lex Luthor finally had a strike of realization once he remembered who this was.
Lex Luthor: Ah yes. I remember you, Mr... Candyman.
Just then, the Candyman (who is an undead African-American male with a hook for a hand and a bee hive in his abdomen and wears some furry Winter sweater) reveals himelf from the shadows and says, " Not that you have remembered me, I need to know the answer to this question: 'Why am I here?' If you give a good, long, and reasonable explanation, I may just spare your life."
Lex Luthor shrugs and announces, "If you insist. I need something to do anyway." Lex gets up off of his bed and says, " The reason I brought you and many other of the heroes and villains of the horror genre to fulfill a prophecy."
"And what prophecy might that be?"
" Give me a moment to recipher it." Lex clears his throat and he says the following.
In an unjust world of the Alien and the Bat,
a team of horror starring a hockey mask and a gloved man with a hat.
These and many more of the horror icons of fiction,
shall change this world, rubbing the corruption off like friction.
They appear there by a bald inventor who is rich.
This man is villainous and teacherous like a witch.
This man will bring the destruction and a gospel of dismay,
to other worlds, one being robots from the depths of a bay
with the help of a Mad Titan with a gauntlet of gold,
a doctor of doom, and a metal-manipulative mutant of old.
Many shall try to save the universe, including an owl named, "Vanoss"
but may be killed by the Mad Titan, Thanos.
Lex Luthor: And that's just the first verse. I forget the rest many times.
Candyman: That explain the appearance of Freddy Krueger an Jason Voorhees, but what about me and the others?
"That was a technical error in the machine that had brought you here. With the help of Ra's Al Ghul, the man that had told me of that prophecy, I found the dimension that was the home to the two villainsyou speak of. Unexpectedly,the machine over-heated and brought many other of the inhabitants of that world including two demon clowns, a few living dolls, and two rival species of aliens."
"If I free you, you will take me back to my home world, right?"
"I would if I could, but the technology I used to bring you here wasn't mine. It belonged to the Justice League. In order for me to get technology last time, I hired Deathstroke to sneak into the Watchtower. However, with him currently in a cell, I find that unlikely."
"In other words, you want me to do your dirty job for you."
"Precisely."
"To not waste time, tell me: What mustI do?"
"You need to find a way onto the Watchtower and search for the hero known as "Cyborg." He will provide the technology in order for you to return back home. Well, as long as you force it out of him."
"I'll do just that"
Candyman begins tocwalk away as Lex asks, "Wait! What about my freedom?"
"Oh don't worry," Candyman replies. "You're already free. Just open the door."
Lex does just that and is about to ask how is that possible untill Candyman says," On my way here, I killed every guard on sightand any prisoner who didn't look like a threat. Inside the command center, I pulled the switch that had granted the freedom to everyone on the island. It didn't aound off your cell because you were in what people call the 'VIP section.'"
Lex announces that Candyman is impressive right before the serial killer disappears.
