Lex: I believe I will retract my statement about a ponytail being at the top of my wish list. I change it to legs. Definitely legs.

Hay!!! Wait a second!!! I have no hair!!!

JasonSpidey
Lex: Your deranged fanatsy cost me my legs, Clark. Now I'm taking your life!
Clark: What are you talking about, Lex? You're just sitting on top of them. Look, you can even see the thick seat bottom where they're hidden.
Lex: Clark, listen to yourself! Secret leg compartments? Hidden caves? Tori Spelling? You're insane! If I still have legs, why can't I feel them?
Clark: Because they probably fell asleep. Look.
(Clark lifts Lex out of the chair, revealing his legs to be fine)
Clark: See?
Lex: (blank look)...LANA BE PRAISED! I AM HEALED!

Lex Luthor's One Weakness: Stairs

My tractor-sense is tingling...I sense BANNINGS AHEAD!

I did get one angry letter pointing out that a guy in a wheelchair is NOT FUNNY and NEVER HAS BEEN. It's the first real complaint letter I've seen for the caption contest.

Honestly, however, it'd be different if we were poking fun of people in wheelchairs. Instead, we're poking fun at the absurdity of the situation. Anyone poking fun at the malady of being disabled would obviously be insta-banned.

But hey, you know, if the contest didn't feature a guy in a wheelchair every now and again, I'd probably get a complaint letter for not being inclusive.

Point being, I don't ban or delete unless there's obvious malice or unless someone gets grievously and justly offended.

Or if Steve says. But that's obvious.

JasonSpidey
He's a billionaire, and he couldn't even afford a motorized wheelchair?

sneakymonkey
That's it! The time has come! Bring me the top half of my battlesuit!

sneakymonkey
Lex: Lana! Number two time! Lana!!!

JasonSpidey
Clearly, there's no way we could have gotten to this point without some sort of Epic Maneuver.

JasonSpidey

Lex: Did you hear what I said? You cheated me. I had a destiny. I was supposed to die in the Crisis! With honor! That was my destiny! And you cheated me out of it! You understand what I'm saying, Kent? This wasn't supposed to happen. Not to me. I had a destiny. I was Lex Luthor.

Clark: You- You're still Lex Luthor.

JasonSpidey
Lex (standing in his office): Wow. I control my father's vast financial empire. I possess an army of superhuman freaks who are currently being brainwashed to do my bidding. The woman I, along with everyone on Earth, love is carrying my child and engaged to me. And I'm pretty sure they gave me a SuperSize fries when I ordered a large. Life is perfect.
(Suddenly, reality warps drastically.)
Lex: (looking down at his wheelchair) F***in' Superboy-Prime.

JasonSpidey
Clark: Don't worry, Lex. I'm pretty sure the writers will have forgotten you're wheelchair-bound by next week.

JasonSpidey
You just know this is because of Chuck Norris.

sneakymonkey
The moment was totally blown, when, after engaging in his customary verbal sparring match with his father, Lex delivered a particularly brutal and brilliant parting comment, then turned to wheel himself out of the room. It was at this moment that Lex caught his thumb in the spokes and shrieked like a lady.

Lex Luthor, after his ill-fated Himalayan mission to take down Ultimate Hulk.

"Khaaaaaann!!! Khaaaaaann!!!"

Lex: Gosh. If only I had the technology to create cybernetic body parts to replace my beloved legs. If only...

Cyborg (rolling eyes): Yep. Bummer, dude. Well, gotta run. (Flexes his arms and legs, making noises like hydraulic lifts, then he turns and runs through a wall.)

JasonSpidey
Lex: Black Adam! Shazam! Captain Marvel!
Lana: What are you doing?
Lex: I thought it might be contagious.

sneakymonkey
Lex: Kneel before Zod!

(Clark gets down on one knee, coming eye to eye with Lex.)

Lex: ... Lay down before Zod!

sneakymonkey
Lex Luthor. The most dangerous torso in the universe.

sneakymonkey
Consistent with the naming conventions of his other vehicles, the vanity plate on the back of his wheelchair read "Lex 1/2".

Super Kal
"You'll pay for this, Captain Planet!!"

Avilos
"I had sex with Lana.....and my legs fell off!"

Planet-man
Clark: Lex, what happened to your legs?!

Lex: Let me put it this way....don't ever, EVER try to milk a wheelchair.

svasuperbat
Clark: You've got no legs left!
Lex: Yes I have!
Clark: Look you idiot!
Lex:... It's just a flesh wound!

He'll fart Clark's legs off!

Planet-man
Clark: "Oh my goodness, Lex! Who did this to you?!"

Lex: "It was a bunch of Super-powered freaks! They broke into my plant and blew the entire place up without even checking to see if I was out yet! But I'll make them pay, Clark. I'll make them all pay!"

Clark: *sweating profusely* "Yeah.....I have to.....go... paint the... hay bales....BYE!"

The awful carnage caused by the misuse of anti-higg, anti-particle, boson, anti-muon devices.

Lex: How �bout we go see a movie?

Lex: NOT THAT ONE!!!

Lana: Okay, so we�re not seeing 'Happy feet'. What about 'Stomp The Yard'?

Lex: What the hell is your problem?!

Suntanned Superman
Boy Scout, Aquaman, Impulse, Cyborg, and Green Arrow? What do they call you? Wheels?

Lex: Shut your face!

BORKfromORK
Lucky he didn�t name his company LegsCorp.

Terminal
Lex: You underestimated me Clark! You hear me?! Your father informed me that if I cut off my legs, I will have the power of Zod!

Jor-El: *Chortle*

Hey Dad!!! Can we get some Meatloaf!

I'm half the man I used to be

Neal: (grabs the guitar from Wayne and points to the sign). NO TEMPLE!

sneakymonkey
Lex: The Jumping Shark? Aye, he's real. Took a leap without lookin' back in ought-seven, when I proposed to a girl named Lana. And out of the waters he rose, teeth like jagged bayonets and eyes as black and lifeless as Season Four. Took both my legs in one hateful bite, then back to the deep he went, quick as he came. Is the Jumping Shark real? Aye, my friend, he's real enough, alright. He's real enough...

Fairwell and adeiu to you fair Chinese-Asian women...fairwell and ado to you ladies of Netrogena!

Rab-El
Lex: Mind over muscle Super....Hey, Hey, Hey! What the hell just happened to my legs
Clark: You were saying...Mind over muscle?
Lex: Ok point taken

richcapo
I'm too sexy for my legs.

super surfer
So now we're milking wheelchairs instead of tractors, is that it?

Wheelchairs are not tractors...they're...they're a SERIES OF TUBES.

emerald_knight
Lex: Call me wheels again and i will END you!

JasonSpidey
He might have had to cut off his legs to do it, but by God, Lex got us over 300 captions!

Lex0807
On a more serious note (so please do not interpret this as a sick joke), I miss Christopher Reeve and hope he may rest in peace. How I would have loved to see more of Dr. Swann, possibly the only guest star on Smallville other than Perry that one time that I actually liked and that helped move the plot along!

On a serious, non-funny moment, I agree. And I'm proud of you guys for not hitting up that line of humor. It impressed me quite a bit, and proved those who might call this image offensive wrong. Good job.
