Synopsis | A Luthor hologram appears at a staff meeting at the Daily Planet, and warns Superman to show up at S.T.A.R. Labs in an hour. Superman meets him there, but after both sides switch off with holograms and robots, neither gains an upper hand. Terra-Man finds some red kryptonite in space, and decides to team up with Luthor. Together, they manage to expose him to it; but it just splits Superman in two. The villains escape to figure out their next step. After harnessing magical energy power, they fight the two Supermen. Terra-Man gets captured, but then the Supermen merge again. Luthor is still using magical energy, and seriously injures Lois. Superman arrives, but Lois is dying due to the energy. But Superman's love for Lois overcomes the magical energy, which backfires on Luthor, allowing Lois to live and Superman to capture Luthor. |
