As Superman foils Luthor's latest crime spree, a Smallville teen attempts to attract Superman's attention by putting himself in danger. He dies because even Superman can't be in two places at once, and Luthor gloats because he knows that even if he's captured, it means that Superman was unable to save someone else somewhere.
