Hope you're all ready for another dose of Lex Luthor II and his glorious red mane, because we're diving back into that hot mess.

After a few years of pretending to be his own son, Lex's plan fell apart. His clone body began to degenerate, leaving Lex forced to use an iron lung to survive. Meanwhile, Lois uncovered proof of Lex's deception and the fact that he was still involved in criminal activity.

With Lex's entire empire crumbling, his assistant activated a fail-safe program to destroy Metropolis. It was designed as a final legacy, one last way to spite Superman. With a push of a button, hundreds of missiles launched across the city, destroying the Daily Planet and causing chaos in the streets.

And that was only the start. Luthor's robots then started rampaging through the streets, trying to make sure that no repairs could ever be made to Metropolis. This was followed by a cloud of hallucinogenic gas released over all the inhabitants and finally Lex himself taking control of a Kryptonian robot to try and kill Superman in the rubble.

Superman was able to stop most of Luthor's plan, but Metropolis was still devastated and Lex was left a vegetable, trapped in his own body (at least until a demon fixed it because comics).
