Reluctantly, Luthor plays along with the guise and convinces Wonder Man to help him find this mysterious merc.
  
  
• "Good Frank Hunting" - Frank Castle and Captain Marvel
  
  -Once again, he's walking the streets of New York. And even he doesn't know why. But Lex is pleased for the most part. His field suit was a success and he feels more powerful than ever before. Though while things are going good for the criminal genius, he knows it could be better. Memories of his childhood plague him as he heads into a bar. Lex reflects what type of a man his father was and in his anger, he murders because of it. But there's a Punisher out there. His name--Frank Castle.

Enraged by what he finds, he threatens the new comer, who claims he's Ben Reilley, and even repeatedly fire his revolver at him...but to no avail. Reilley further spouts that Norman Osborn has captured his foe, Superman, and if he wants to...Lex can help the web crawler find a way to beat Norman at his own gain. The billionaire agrees, and in turn gives him both a device and schematics that will help the web slinging hero.
  
  
• "Planetfall" - Sentience and Darek U. Ravenhardt
  
  -Sitting in his personal office, Lex is obviously stressed and tired over the past events that have happened in his life. He keeps thinking about Terra Lak Tus and he is positive that very soon he will make his trip there. Of course, it's never a dull moment for the billionaire because while he is contemplating over his plans, a strange noise comes from overhead on the actual rooftop of Lex Corp. Mistaken it for a helicopter, Lex decides to personally get the pilot of his own building and just as the doors slide open, he is taken aback by the sigh before him. There's a machine, Sentience, and younger child, Darek U. Ravenhardt, beside a massive ship the likes Lex has never yet seen before. As it turns out, Sentience personally came to Metropolis to find the billionaire and request his help. To overthrow the Citadel, which the machine calls an unfair organization. While impressed by the request, Lex bluntly says he will only help if the two help him. It's Terra Lak Tus that he has in mind. It's killing his enemy, Superman.

  -Lex arrives on Terra Lak Tus, unbeknown to Norman Osborn. Luckily, he happens to come at the right moment.

The billionaire instantly recognizes the Clown Prince of Crime, and with a smirk he realizes just how fun this day will be.
  
  
• "Apocalypse Now" - Darkseid, Superman, Sentience, Michael McCormick, Ghost Rider, Simon Williams, Darek U. Ravenhardt, Doctor Octopus, Black Rose, Zatanna Zatara, Mac Gargan
  
  -The billionaire's plan to kill Superman has just begun and of course, Lex has friends to help him. Of course, so does Superman. But things are going well for the criminal mastermind. Because not only does the blue boyscout have to worry about him, but he also has to worry about his hated rival, Darkseid. The battle has just gotten underway, and in the end...Lex knows that it will take everything that Superman has in order to survive.
