[When the guardians of the status quo include the Justice League, sometimes extreme measures are necessary for the advancement of mankind. If Big Boy Blue could ever bring himself to do a simple cost-benefit analysis, maybe he'd realize how much his infuriatingly rigid and self-serving view of morality is holding back the civilization to which he's appointed himself protector.]
