As we get older, I tend to agree with the supervillains.
Lex Luther wants a weapon to counter this insanely strong, invulnerable Superman that can destroy the planet ..... I'm like: Yes we should
Magneto considers mutants superior and if humans wage war, then mutants have the right to wage war back, and win. Survival of the fittest. If I was a mutant, I would be on Magnetos team.
Magneto wanted supremacy, not equality, and was willing to use genocide of non-mutants to get it. And Lex Luthor was a narcissist who was jealous of Superman's power and popularity; he wasn't acting for the benefit of humanity, he was acting in his own interests.
Every good villain has mostly justifiable motivations, they just take it too far. Magneto would be justified if he sought equality, and Luthor would be justified if he developed but didn't use the weapon until Superman did something evil.
The only justifiable amount of force is just enough to neutralize an active threat, and no more.
