While the various characters from the Superman family of titles have been showing up slowly but surely, there was one character missing that was sticking out like a sore thumb.
Where was Lex Luthor? How, in this world without a Superman, was he not ruling the world?
Well, because he died when he was less than ten years old.
Yeah, so Lionel Luthor took his son with him to Project Superman to see some aliens and try and beat Queen Enterprises to the punch. The guys at Project Superman brought out Subject Two, or Krypto as we better know him. Subject Zero releases some energy from afar, enough to drive Krypto over the edge into a murderous frenzy.
And then Lionel Luthor, father of the year that he is, threw his son quite literally to the dog. Poor little Lex, he never had a chance to be evil or save the world from itself.
