One day when Batman was visiting Metropolis, Luthor participated in a crime that involved kidnapping Lois until Lois released herself from Luthor's ship. Luthor is confronted by Superman who defeats him by destroying his ship and arresting him. Despite his arrest, Lex Luthor manages to escape from the authority and sent a red kryptonite to Superman via Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen. The red kryptonite brought out a crude, mean-spirited, violent Superman who began to make the people of Metropolis hate him for his random acts of mischief and hostility across the city. As Superman decides to try and take over Metropolis as the king and Batman fights him, Superman was able to overcome the control of the red kryptonite.
