At the Kent farmhouse, Clark has a paper, “Focus on ONE Sound”, Jordan takes off the headphone and tries to focus on water dripping from the sink, he hears bugs chirping, the drops of water slam down, it is too much for him. The RV of Luthor, he has finished work on the formerly crushed computer ball (Daisy Tormé), he hears a knock at the door and takes a gun from the refrigerator. Luthor sees that it is Lois and puts the gun in his back. He tries to invite Lois in and she says to meet her at. This leads to a flashback where Lois kisses him in bed. This repulses their teen daughter, Natalie (Tayler Buck)! She was in the horror movie, Annabelle: Creation (2017). They are distracted by the appearance of Superman in black. I suspected who she was from the comics. He is flying in the city along with other Supermen. They level the city with heat vision!
Jordan sees a clock and tries to concentrate on its sound, but gets overwhelmed by sounds and puts on the headphones. The school bell rings, Jonathan checks on Sarah, she’s suspicous about Jordan’s disappearance. He admits that Tag caused his headaches and Jonathan leaves disappointed that she didn’t care about his broken arm. Lois kisses Clark and heads into the diner. She meets with Luthor. Clark enters the RV and the computer identifies him as Captain Luthor. He says that an army will take over the Earth. Lois gets a call from Chrissy about a possible shipment of X-Kryptonite. Lois joins Clark in the truck. The computer reports the intruder and shows video of Clark. Lana meets with Avery’s mother, Emily (Leeah Wong), for the leadership program. Driving, Clark goes over the identity of Captain Luthor, he has seen a van ten miles ahead. Inside is two men guarding the cargo. He has also seen that ahead of them is Captain Luthor with a rifle! He aims his rifle at the truck.

Clark sees the armed men in the van. He takes it away before the truck reaches Luthor. Clark has brought the van to the edge of a canyon. Luthor has the driver in a zip tie and throws a device to the back of the truck. It explodes and Luthor takes out a suitcase that Clark can’t scan. Jonathan meets with a girl at school, she leaves, and Sarah disagrees with her. Jordan at home tries to take off his headphone, but again sounds are overwhelming. He sees a picture of Sarah on his cellphone, the sounds filter out and he hears her conversation with Jonathan! Frustrated, he puts his fist in the wall. Lena uses her super hearing to listen in on Luthor, Clark, and Lois’ conversation. Luthor has a flashback with his daughter watching Lois reporting on television. Superman rises behind Lois as she explains his weakness to Kryptonite.
This Superman blasts Lois with his heat vision! Luthor gives Lois the case for a meeting with Superman. Lois has driven to the Smallville Gazette to meet with Chrissy. She wants Clark to check the DoD about the captain. Clark smiles. In the alternate world, Captain Luthor prepares, having X-kryptonite and gives his daughter a chest plate. They are working to build a device for her. It looks like parts of a super suit. They have assembled the suit that we saw Captain Luthor at the start of the series. Jonathan arrives home and sees his brother. He is suspicious about his conversation with Sarah. Jonathan is angry and this overwhelms his brother who falls. Lana has assembled five of the leadership candidates. Edge brings up that Kyle should be a candidate. Chrissy has researched that she can’t find Captain Luthor. Superman arrives at the factory with Captain Luthor and the RV. He brings up Lex Luthor.
A military contact has researched this man. Captain Luthor has the RV blast Superman with red light that weakens him. The contact tells Lois that his name is John Henry Irons! The character was introduced in The Adventures of Superman #500 (1993). Also played by Shaq in the Steel (1997) movie. The episode’s title refers to Iron’s identity as one of the Superman taking up the Superman name when he was fallen. I get from the daughter that there was a Steel connection. In the comics, his niece, Natasha takes up the Steel armor. She first appeared in Steel #1 (1994). Luthor has a massive hammer that he uses to slam Superman. He says it uses kinetic energy. Luthor throws it to slam Superman. This is of course Steel’s classic hammer. We have more mysteries solved with Iron’s daughter later saying the armor thinks it’s wearer is a Luthor. We have some answers about "Captain Luthor", more of his world, and the struggle and victory for the sons of Superman in this episode of Superman & Lois!
Five Kryptonite Crystals out of Five!
