10 Worst Things Lex Luthor Has Done To Superman

The bottled city of Kandor has long been one of Superman's greatest failures. The former capital city of Krypton, it was shrunken down and stolen by Brainiac to add to his collection. Superman rescued the city but couldn't find a way to return it to full size.

That changed in the story 'New Krypton'. Kandor was restored and resided near Superman's Fortress of Solitude at the North Pole.

However, the Kryptonians of Kandor clashed with the people of Earth who feared them. After Luthor unleashed an army of robots on the city, they used their advanced science to leave Earth and build the planet of New Krypton.

This wasn't enough for some Kryptonians though and a faction led by General Zod planned to invade Earth. As a retaliation, the US Army sent a clone of Lex along with the kryptonite powered villains Reactron and Metallo to the planet to attack Kandor.

During the attack, the clone of Lex, under orders from the original, caused Reactron to explode. The explosion started a chain reaction which destroyed the planet, killing almost all its inhabitants.

Superman was forced to watch as the most traumatic experience of his life happened again. After years of searching, he had finally achieved his greatest dream and found his people, only to have them taken from him again by Lex Luthor.

And that really is terrible.
