Lex Luthor releases information

Superman and Lois season 4 really put Clark Kent in a difficult situation. First, the character was killed by Doomsday. Then Lex Luthor crushed his heart. Now, although Clark was able to come back to life through General Sam Lane’s heart, the organ is not compatible with Superman’s body. John Henry Irons returned in Superman and Lois Season 4, Episode 8, to scan Clark and reveal that not only is Superman losing his powers, but the hero’s days appear to be numbered, as he will possibly only live as long as General Lane left.

After Superman and his loved ones received the hard news in the last episode, Superman and Lois Season 4, Episode 9 reveals that the entire world is now aware that the Man of Steel’s powers are fading. Lex Luthor is now in possession of John Henry Irons’ Steel suit. As Irons examined Clark in the last episode through the Steel suit system, everyone the data from this scan was available to Luthor when Milton took control of the suit. Lex had already told Emmitt Pergande that Clark was Superman, and now he shows the world that Superman’s powers are waning.

Superman trains with Jordan and Jonathan

The Twins Aren’t Ready to Take Down Lex Luthor

Superman’s powers have become a big question mark for the series. Without Clark, could his children face villains like Lex Luthor? Superman and Lois Season 4, Episode 9 explores this. Knowing that he is no longer at full strength and that Lex has access to Steel’s suit, Clark decides to train Jordan and Jonathan in order to face the villain. However, things are not going well. In the Fortress of Solitude, Clark makes his kids fight a hologram of Steel which captures Irons’ approach from when he tried to assassinate Superman at the beginning of the DC series.

However, the boys can barely compare to Steel’s hologram. Clark watches with a worried expression on his face as he realizes that Jordan and Jonathan are not ready to fight Luthor in the Steel suit. When he finally gets tired of watching his children get kicked by the Steel hologram, he tells them both that they can go home. Jordan and Jonathan want to continue training, but Clark assures them there is no need and they leave. Steel’s suit was close to the power of Superman at his best, which is worrying.

After talking to Lois, Clark realizes he can’t give up training the boys. The three reunite in Smallville to train. This time, Clark takes a different approach. Although Clark has had to fight alone his entire life, that is not his children’s fate. Now that Jonathan has gained powers in Superman and Lois In Season 4, Jon and Jordan can take to the skies together. Clark then asks his children to work as a team to punch him. They can’t do that, and the trio is interrupted by the return of Doomsday.

Lex Luthor’s ultimate plan begins to unfold

Man of Steel’s future looks bleak

Doosmday’s return is just one of the major developments in Lex Luthor’s ultimate plan to take down Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman. In episode 8, Lex accepts not being in control and follows Amanda McCoy’s plan, which includes Gordon Godfrey and bringing down Lois Lane’s credibility. It worked, but Lex didn’t like not being in control. Superman and Lois season 4, episode 9 addresses this. Lex makes Amanda the person who holds the largest stake in Luthor Corp, second only to him. However, Lois finds out and exposes to Amanda that Lex is just using her.

Lois Lane gets the means to turn Amanda against Lex through the return of a major character. Episode 9 saw the main villain of Superman and Lois season 3, Bruno Mannheim, by Chad Colemanreturn. After talking to Mannheim in prison, Lois manages to turn Amanda around after telling her how Cheryl Kimble also felt that Lex loved her before she was betrayed. Still, it’s too late. Through data from the Steel suit, Lex Luthor and Milton discover that Doomsday is in Smallville. Amanda confronts Lex, who tells her that he is responsible and dons the Steel suit to go after Doomsday.

Milton managed to revamp the Steel suit, which may look the same on the outside, but has received major improvements on the inside. This includes kryptonite enhancements, which Lex uses in Doomsday, killing the character once again and allowing the monster to take its final form. Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman even managed to get to the mines in time to see Lex and Doomsday there, although he was unable to stop Lex’s plan. With the upgraded steel suit under his command and Doomsday unleashed once againBut now more powerful than ever, things look good for Luthor and bleak for Clark.

Superman and Apocalypse face off once again

The Superman and Lois series finale will be epic

Not only does Doomsday look the most comic book accurate he’s ever seen in live action, but the monster is now extremely powerful and seemingly unstoppable. Lois Lane even tries to talk to Doomsday and get him to leave, like she did before Superman and Lois Season 4, but Doomsday doesn’t listen to her this time. This leads to chaos in Smallville, as Jonathan and Jordan run around town saving people while Superman faces Apocalypse alonestarting their rematch after Doomsday killed the Man of Steel the last time they fought.

A weakened Man of Steel is no match for Doomsday in episode 9. Clark manages to land a few blows, but doesn’t find a way to stop the monster. Superman and Lois season 4, episode 9, ends with one of the series’ darkest moments. Damn Clark tries to take off while his family watches him. Superman tries to tell them how much he loves them before Doomsday takes him away, which could lead to the hero’s second death in the DC series next week when the Superman and Lois the series finale airs.
