Story Overview

The graphic novel follows a pre-teen version of Lex Luthor who is already a pint-sized inventor and criminal mastermind. When his father, Lionel Luthor, is thrown into prison by Superman, young Lex swears vengeance to restore the family name.

He cooks up a diabolical plot to kidnap Lois Lane (who is an enterprising young intern at the time) with the help of his imposing bodyguard and pseudo-guardian, Slade Wilson. Lex assumes Superman will trade anything for her safe return—including his ultimate weakness. However, the plan goes hilariously off the rails when Clark Kent calls in his broody, tactical friend Batman to investigate instead. What follows is a fast-paced, action-packed game of cat-and-mouse between a teenage super-genius and the World's Greatest Detective.
