Lex Luthor has a deep hatred for both Superman and Clark Kent. His anger towards Superman stems from the hero's more substantial help to the city, surpassing anything Luthor has achieved in years. Luthor despises Clark because of his relationship with Lois Lane, one of Luthor's obsessions. Lex creates an inhumane scheme, transforming a soldier into a weapon and creating lethal weapon made out of Kryptonite designed to kill the Man of Steel.
