Superman: They Saved Luthor's Brain

The story of the twisted scientific resurrection of Superman's most formidable enemy.

After a cancer-ridden Lex Luthor dies in a fiery plane crash, a charismatic and young heir suddenly appears to take over the bald megalomaniac's empire. Sporting a full head of vibrant red hair and a thick, authentic Australian accent, Lex Luthor II uses his charm and personality to win the trust of Superman and the affections of Supergirl. But as the city of Metropolis embraces its new son, little do they know that their celebrated savior is in reality a recently cloned body possessing the brain and will of the original Lex Luthor.
