It's a parody. The original is from a book called Lex Luthor: Man of Steel (issue 5 of 5, but really you gotta read all 5 to understand it so the issue number doesn't matter), which is from like 20 years ago. It's pretty good. It's a character study of Luthor, and how he is motivated by the idea that he doesn't believe Superman is human, that Superman doesn't have a soul. So he created a robot superheroine called Hope, to make the people like her more than Superman, to have himself as the people's source of hope (the people know Luthor is behind her), rather than this alien. Yes, the name Hope is very obvious symbolism which Luthor designed on purpose, to make the people see her as a source of hope, but also she is his source of hope. Then he orchestrates a monster for Hope to fight, but actually she (under orders from Luthor) was behind it, and the destruction was all orchestrated to make her (and thus Luthor) look good. Thus Superman finds out and has to fight her, and in the process, Luthor blows her up but makes it look like Superman did it, so really the entire thing was all according to plan. But Luthor seemed to grow to love Hope, but he was dedicated to his plan so he killed her anyway. But did he even really love her, or did he love her specifically because she was his own creation and a reflection of himself?
Also also, this came out right after Superman: Birthright, which was a new origin story for Superman that established he literally had Soul Vision. As far as I know, it was only ever referenced in these two stories. Superman: Birthright came out very shortly before Infinite Crisis, which rewrote history and gave Superman a different origin story, which would be published in Superman: Secret Origin. There was a mini-history-rewrite in the main Superman comics that made Birthright canon over the previous origin story, Man of Steel. (All the origin stories are the same basic "alien baby raised by farmers then goes to the city to become a reporter and superhero, but the specifics are different. However, any elements from each origin story that aren't explicitly contradicted by later ones are still canon. Like elements that take place when he's a kid aren't necessarily contradicted by elements that happen in other stories when he's an adult.)
Anyway, Birthright says Superman is a vegetarian because he can see souls. This did not stick and later stories never show him as a vegetarian, and it's sort of as a bit of trivia that his favorite food is beef wellington. So in Lex Luthor: Man of Steel, Superman doesn't kill, but he can destroy Hope because Hope is a robot and literally doesn't have a soul. But Luthor, although knowing better, loved her as if she did. But he'd kill real people anyway if it was part of his plan. Even if the Soul Vision wasn't a thing, it wouldn't matter because Superman didn't actually kill Hope, Luthor did, because he assumes Superman doesn't see her as having a soul, and he doesn't realize that it's his own mistrust that caused him to kill Hope. Also, Superman has tons of robot friends. Even discounting the ones who sort of have magic spirits inhabiting them or whatever, like the second Red Tornado, Superman still seems to care about them, at least the ones that show some sentience. The Eradicator sacrificed itself to help power up Superman shortly after he came back to life (following the famous Death of Superman arc), but I don't think Superman was happy about it (and The Eradicator was a villain the last time Superman had met it). I don't think he'd be happy to see the Metal Men die, and they're pure robots, as far as I know with no cyborg parts or magic spirits inhabiting them. But of course Luthor always assumes the worst about Superman, so he doesn't realize that.
But this is all just getting autistic. The point is Luthor thinks Superman is inhuman and doesn't have a soul, and thus doesn't respect humanity and its souls. But really he does, and he even sees Luthor's soul, even though he's gotten close to losing it in his diabolical quest.
And that parody image clearly is intended to make Luthor look like a dumbass. It would be hilarious if they tried to have Luthor come out as a tranny though.
ACTUALLY, that reminds me that Superman's original arch-nemesis, actually the first supervillain ever, The Ultra-Humanite, was literally a man in a woman's body. He was a crippled old man (brains v brawn), but after a couple of regular mad scientist schemes were thwarted by Superman, he swapped bodies with famous actress Delores Winters, figuring that the law, and even Superman, would go easy on a woman. If she was lucky, she could even seduce Superman, which wouldn't be gay because she has a real vagina now, but also the real reason was just to make him her whipped servant anyway. I say "she" because once he swaps bodies, he is consistently referred to as she, because this stupid gender nonsense didn't exist. You're called he if you have a penis and she if you have a vagina. Anyway, Ultra actually does more schemes in the female body than the male one, but eventually, like most trannies, she killed herself by jumping into the lava in her secret volcano lair. About 40 years later, it was revealed that Ultra somehow survived, and had since transferred his brain into the body of an albino gorilla (male, btw). Shortly after this a series called All-Star Squadron was released, and told stories that took place during WWII, between issues of the actual comics that came out in that era. It showed how Ultra survived that volcano death, and had a bunch more stories with female Ultra as the villain, before the gorilla body.
Delores Winters' brain, btw, was not put in Ultra's original body, because his brain was shitty, and he considered himself a fan, so he put her in some random female body in the hospital. She didn't like it though because it wasn't as beautiful as her original starlet body. Many years later she found her daughter and stole her body, leaving her daughter's brain to die. This is really only to explain how she could be alive in modern day (as opposed to WWII era) and looking like her original self. This still leaves her old in modern day, however, so she becomes addicted to plastic surgery and stealing organs to keep herself young. At one point she steals the skin of a D-list ice powered superheroine called Icemaiden and thus becomes a supervillain called Endless Winter. Icemaiden is mostly known for replacing the more beloved ice-themed superheroine, Ice, on the Justice League International after she died. Anyway, they tried to save her with super-science that could grow her skin back, but the fight with the supervillain cracked the tank so it looked like she died. 15 years later, just recently, they had her appear in a single issue just so she could refer to herself as multiple people, just to score some SJW pronoun points.
But the point is, Superman doesn't believe in this "female soul" shit. It's whatever your body is that counts. Also, Golden Age comics are based because the first supervillain ever is a tranny, and she came back to continue being a main villain in the bronze age, so things were still sort of based then. They're fucked now though.
