After moving to Metropolis from the small town of Smallville, mild mannered Clark Kent gets a job at the newspaper company the Daily Planet as a cover up for what he is really in Metropolis for. While at the Planet Clark meets an amateur journalist named Lois Lane who has been looking for just the right story to make herself more well known. Clark also meets an intern for the Planet named Jimmy Olsen who ends up becoming good friends with Clark. While Clark isn't being a normal man he is also Superman who even though he is mostly loved by the citizens of Metropolis is hated by one man. Lex Luthor is somewhat like Bruce Wayne or Ted Kord in the fact that he is a billionaire and the CEO of his own company. Around when Superman arrived in Metropolis Lex almost instantly decided that Superman is too powerful and started studying which led him to a substance that could damage Superman called Kryptonite. Lex eventually turns the substance into a weapon and confronts Superman. Clark tries to reason with Lex but it doesn't work. Lex brings out an armored suit with a Kryptonite core and goes into a fight with Superman. The battle lasts long and ends with Clark managing to rip the Kryptonite out and throwing it to the moon. He is left weakened and nearly dead but Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen who were there trying to get the story help Superman out of there while Lex vows to end him.
