Also, surely Luthor, as a bloated billionaire plutocrat, is also the status quo?

We need a hero who not only rebels against the status quo but also against the band Status Quo.

That is a rockist position.

Surely it's anti-rockist as Status Quo were rockin' all over the world, requiring an international coalition of superheroes to stop their nefarious deeds? Much like Millenium but with a pub rock group instead of the Manhunters.
