In "Luthor Unleashed!", a desperate Lex Luthor flees to the distant planet Lexor, seeking refuge and a chance to rebuild—only to confront his son for the first time. Meanwhile, on Earth, one of his rogue robots begins a violent campaign of vengeance, forcing Superman to act before the destruction escalates. As tensions rise on both worlds, the fate of Lexor—and the lives of those tied to it—hangs in the balance.

In "Ambush Bug II," the chaotic hero leaps onto Superman’s back just as the Man of Steel rockets into the future, landing in the 30th century where chaos follows close behind. Left in the care of the Legion of Substitute-Heroes—Polar Boy, Infection Lass, Porcupine Pete, Chlorophyll Kid, Stone Boy, Fire Lad, Color Kid, Antennae Lad, and Double-Header—Ambush Bug quickly escapes, turning 30th-century Metropolis into his personal playground. With the Science Police chief, Zendak, on his trail, the mayhem escalates as the misfit hero tests the limits of a world built on order.
