It all started when Luthor was half-way through his first term as President of the United States.
Zatanna the Magician performed at a special charity benefit for the "Earthquake Widows And Orphans Fund" in Gotham City. She had just finished her act, to a standing ovation. And, upon returning to her dressing room, she found a boquet of American Beauty roses on the make-up table.
The note pinned to the tissue-paper wrapping read:
"Congratulations! From your biggest fan."
In place of a signature, however, was the silhouette of a bat.
Smiling to herself, Zee smelled the roses. The moment she did so, however, she was hit by a wave of vertigo. She only had time enough to sit down, on the chair in front of the vanity table, before passing out.
The moment she did so, a strange figured appeared in the mirror!
This golden-masked figure wore a red cloak over matching cover-alls and boots. It also had a red, Pilgrim-like hat, with a golden capital "a" surrounded by a golden circle. And, the only indication it gave that it was male was when it emerged from the mirror, like a swimmer emerging from a YMCA pool, and spoke aloud.
"It looks like the narco-hypnotic scent of these genetically-engineered roses worked! I wonder how Pamela Isley would react if she knew that Calculator had leaked her botanical secrets all over the Internet? Along with the technology behind Mirror Master's unique teleportation and the Mad Hatter's mind-controlling microchips!"
The stranger chuckled as he answered his own question.
"She'd probably cause Arkham Asylum to break out into pure...Anarky!"
