The story begins with Lex staring at a building he''s in the process of constructing from LexCorp, where he sits on his desk and has a casual conversation with the cleaner, Stanislaw Levin. Next a scantily clad woman by the name of Mona enters the room and begins to brief Lex on the information she''s collected on Superman, which consists of blurry photographs. Lex expresses his thoughts of Superman being a threat, while Mona argues that no-one else believes that, which causes Lex to strengthen his resolve and claim that''s the reason why he''s so dangerous.
