Brave New Metropolis

Together with Superman, Lexruled Metropolis in an alternate dimension.

After Intergang murdered Lois, Superman turned to Lex for help. Together, they made Metropolis a safer city. But they did so by turning it in a police state.

Though they were allies, Lex had difficulty controlling Superman. When another Lois emerged, he feared it would turn Superman into his old self again. So he had Commander Graves execute her.

Mercy failed, and Superman and Lois met. Angry, the Man of Steel stormed Lex's office. He demanded that Lex quit, but Lex still had one trick up his sleeve: kryptonite. In front of a weakened Superman, Lex divulged him his plan: to delives Superman to the resistance; telling them how he was the only thing between them and the wrath of the Kryptonian. But he had not counted on the resistance coming to him. Now that his plan had failed, he made a run for it. He managed to escape the building by jet, but in a fight with Superman, it was damaged. The ejector seat malfunctioned, and Lex was killed when the ship crashed into a statue.
