Trufax--ruthless is hot. Ruthless in the pursuit of obsession for a person is amazingly hot. Evil becoming conflicted by these mundane things is hot like whoa.
This explains my Smallville, Queer as Folk, and due South obsessions very nicely.
I keep wanting to hyperexamine your Sam so much, because he has these tantalizing bits of Lex after he got over being evil for evil's sake and returned to baseline vaguely amoral with a side of conscience. It's not that they're at all the same, but the mental methodology of darkness in characters that are at best not born sociopathic is pretty damn funny. It's not Evil Lite so much as Evil But Kinda Wondering If This Entire Conquer the World Thing Really Needs This Much Drama, or something.

Maybe I am overthinking it.
