I suck with names lol, I'll find a better one in a bit

XXXXXXXX

It's strange, waking up in a place completely different from where you were.

It's even more strange when you wake up in a body completely different from the one you were in.

My first teller, my body being way taller than I ever was. I was 5'10 but I could tell that I was about twice that height.

My next tell was the fact that my skin was completely gray. And not as in rotting or dying gray but as in metallic gray.

The last tell was the sound of knocking on a door, followed by what sounded like someone breaking through the door. Enough that they came off their hinges with a bang even.

"Ivo, it's Luthor!"

No fucking way. It can't be him.

"You got to help me!"

Well, there's only one way to find out. And judging by this body of mine, I'm feeling pretty confident that I should be able to handle him. Which is strange since I just got this body, but it's one I feel more than certain in.

"It looks like the cigarettes finally gotcha. And maybe me too."

As I walked closer to the source of the voice, the back of that bald head along with the green power armor he was wearing confirmed it. It was Lex Luthor, standing in front of the body of a dead man.

My creator, my father Professor Author Ivo.

Wait, Ivo. If there's one thing notable about that name, it wasn't the man himself. It was what he created.

A.M.A.Z.O

Soon enough Lex turned to notice me once my frame got close enough to completely cover him with my shadow. He let out a gasp at the sight of me.

"Well, what are you waiting for? It's not like I won't be dead soon enough anyway." He said in his usual brash tone.

And he wasn't wrong to feel that way. While it appeared fine from the back, his armor was quite damaged as shown by the missing chunks in it along with a damaged chest area. That damage was likely a result of a fight against Superman or the Justice League as a whole.

He was certainly vulnerable enough that even a complete novice like myself could take him out. An Amazo without any mimicked abilities at that. And as I looked at him, a more thorough analysis of him flashed in my mind.

His damaged armor and injuries leave him in a poor condition to defend himself. Once the armor is damaged enough, the chest area especially, he'd be as helpless as any other human assuming that the strain from the poisoning he's under doesn't get to him first.

Yes, if I wanted to I could just kill Luthor here and now and be done with it. And why shouldn't I? He's been nothing but a thorn to Superman and the League so far, hell, this asshole worked with Brainiac which lead to his dumbass bringing back fucking Darkseid.

The only reason I see not to kill him is either because he'd be needed to traverse through the Source Wall for the Anti-Life Equation or the reason that most iterations of Superman put up with his bullshit being due to his potential to do good for the world. Far more than even Superman could.

Yet those two can be argued against. Without him bringing back Darkseid there'd be no need to travel through the Source Wall in the first place. And they're plenty of other geniuses who could do what he could even if they lack his 12th Level Intellect.

"GAH!" Luthor cried out as I grabbed him by the neck.

"You're right, you certainly will be," I said as I applied pressure to his neck.

It'd be so damned easy to do as well. Just crush this man's neck and save a whole lot of people the trouble.

And even if I got into trouble with the League for it, I could justify it as self-defense. Though crushing the man's neck wouldn't paint a positive image of me, nor would the marks of strangulation around his neck no matter how much Superman fantasied about doing the same.

Then again, that chest plate of his is what's holding back the poisoning. Simply break that and make sure that he doesn't escape away for medical help and it'll be an open-and-shut case. At least it'll be one that they can't claim a homicide on my end though.

A series of short gasps brings me out of my thoughts. Luthor is still clinging on to life as best as he can, even as the breath in his lungs has long since become scarce. With him more than helpless, I rip off his chest plate and threw it far out of his reach. With that action, the already dim light in his eyes began to fade even more.

Once he falls unconscious, I let him fall to the floor. I walked to the bed where Ivo died in and took the pillow out from under his head.

I simply hold the pillow over Lex's mouth and nose and wait. And wait.

It was tedious but I continued waiting, I couldn't botch my first murder and in turn gain one of the worst enemies in this world to have. But I'd like to think of it being a public service. Hell, maybe I'll go find the Joker and kill him too seeing as I've already killed Lex.

After some waiting, I checked his pulse and heard silence. My first deed in the DC Universe was done. Lex Luthor was dead.

XXXXXXX

I watched a few video essays on Youtube by Implicitly Pretentious on the DCAU and it reminded me of how much I loved the hell out of Justice League and JL Unlimited when I was a kid. So I wanted to write a bit of a fic for it. Hence this.

Not much here at the moment, just killed Lex. I mean, I like the dude as a character, but as he person, he's a suck of shit. So RIP Luthor. Not much here since this is a proof of concept/prologue but I do want to go a bit further with this so I'll probably write a bit more for it, where Amazo messes around with the Justice League and gets their powers before going off to do whatever the lad feels like.

This is right off the press so it'll be bloody raw. Still tho, I hope you enjoy and leave me your thoughts.
