Biography[]
Mr. Lyon was a patron of the Windgate Club, a gentleman's club in Metropolis. Lyon frequently doted attention to one particular dancer at the strip club Windgate, who would then disappear shortly afterward. He became infatuated with a dancer named Melissa Paige but she grew uncomfortable with him and attempted to escape.
She tried to tell her story to the Daily Planet but was ran over by a car and killed. Chloe Sullivan and Lois Lane received the call and witnessed Melissa's death. They both believed that Melissa was more than just a stripper and Chloe learned she was from the Windgate Club.
Chloe and Lois infiltrated the Windgate Club and Lois poses as a potential new hire. Lois emerges on stage in revealing clothing and started a very awkward dance routine. Lyon watched Lois with lust. She is noticed by an embarrassed Clark Kent who was doing his own investigation into Senator Jennings.
After Lois gave him a lap dance, Clark noticed a European man, Mr. Lyon, meeting with the owner and used his super-hearing to overhear them talking about $500,000 and the owner's "girls." When Lyon saw Lois Lane on stage performing a sexy dance while she was undercover, he believed she was a new dancer at the club. He asked the bouncer who she is, before successfully buying her.
During a police raid on the club, Lyon managed to get Lois out. Chloe, concerned for Lois, began questioning dancers about Lyon who told her that he wines and dines them then they vanish. A shocked Chloe learned Mr. Lyon had Lois. Deciding to make her his next victim, Lyon took Lois to his penthouse apartment.
He gave her a red dress to wear, which was identical to the one Melissa was wearing the night she was killed, and promised her he wouldn't peek on her while changing. He asked Lois if she needed help putting it on after she was looking through his belongings and then she quickly puts it on.
He then took a photo of her in the dress and tells her she's prettier in the dress then all the other dancers were and she'll make them all very jealous. When Lois tried to get out, he grabs her and forces her to stay. She tries to fight back, but the bodyguard tasers her unconscious.
His guard then carried her into Lyon's helicopter and tried to fly her out of the country to keep her for himself like his previous victims. Lyon plotted to take Lois out of the country by helicopter from the rooftop helipad when Clark arrives. He prints out a fake passport Lyon made for her while Chloe figures out there is a helipad on the roof. He tried to fly her out of the country to keep her for himself like his previous victims. Clark super speeds up there, hooks the helicopter with a line, and starts pulling it down.
Clark yanked the helicopter back down, knocking out the pilot. Lois awakens and punches out her captors. Lieutenant Sawyer and the cops show up but she reveals that Lyon has to be released due to his father having diplomatic immunity for being in a foreign country. Lyon smiled smugly at the outcome. An angry Lois punches Lyon once more and he gave Lois an air kiss as a taunt when he left without her coming along. However, hee was then arrested by Interpol when he arrived in Europe because of an anonymous tip.
