Molly Kathleen Ringwald (born February 18, 1968) is an American actress, singer, dancer, and author. She was cast in her first major role as Molly in the NBC sitcom The Facts of Life (1979–80) after a casting director saw her playing an orphan in a stage production of the musical Annie. She and several other members of the original Facts of Life cast were let go when the show was reworked by the network. She subsequently made her motion-picture debut as Miranda in the independent film Tempest (1982), which earned her a Golden Globe nomination for New Star of the Year. Ringwald is primarily known for her collaborations with filmmaker John Hughes. She established herself as a teen icon after appearing in the successful Hughes films Sixteen Candles (1984), The Breakfast Club (1985), and Pretty in Pink (1986). She later starred in The Pick-up Artist (1987), Fresh Horses (1988), and For Keeps (1988). She starred in many films in the 1990s, most notably Something to Live for: The Alison Gertz Story (1992), The Stand (1994), and Some Folks Call It a Sling Blade (1994 short film – precursor to Sling Blade). Ringwald had regular roles on the television series The Secret Life of the American Teenager (2008 - 2013) as Anne Juergens, Riverdale(2017 - 2023) as Mary Andrews, and Feud: Capote vs. The Swans (2024) as Joanne Carson. She is also recognized by younger audiences for her role as Sara Flynn in The Kissing Booth movies. Ringwald was part of the "Brat Pack", and she was ranked number one on VH1's 100 Greatest Teen Stars.
I'm not going to go in depth but its not an origin story and as far as I know its not based off of any comics. Basically Brainiac is the villain but hes like a program rather than a kryptonian android. The program was a chip that was found in the kryptonian ship wreckage and Lex Luthor steals it from the kents. Also Lex is an Elon Musk allegory and he has a company called Spacelex. I want Lex and Brainiac to have arguments inside of his brain and they argue because brainiac wants to destroy the world and Lex believes he is the savior of humanity and the whole reason he founded Spacelex is to take humanity to the largest moon of Saturn, Titan. Brainiac takes over Lex's body and shaves his head so he can plug those cord things from the comics in (we needed a reason to have Lex shave his head and for brainiac to have those things on his head.) In the final battle Brainiac is going to destroy the planet if Superman doesn't stop him but Clark doesn't want to kill Lex which he could do with a single punch so he has to talk to Lex and tell him to reject Brainiac from his mind and in the end Lex saves the world and Clark doesn't kill anybody. Clark is also working at the daily planet throughout this movie and after beating Brainiac he finally asks Lois out, not as Superman but as Clark.
