Can Superman convince Lex Luthor to regain his villainous genius to decipher Darkseid's chilling creation? Lex Luthor's memory loss has transformed him, leaving him incapable of understanding the Absolute Universe. Superman must choose between Lex's newfound peace and the fate of the multiverse.
Superman 's arch-nemesis, Lex Luthor , might be the key to understanding the mysterious Absolute Universe, but his help comes at a steep price. Recognizing Luthor's unparalleled intellect, even the Justice League's brightest member, Mr. Terrific, seeks his guidance to unravel the secrets of this new DC reality. In a preview for Superman : Lex Luthor Special #1, by Joshua Williamson, Eddy Barrows, Eber Ferreira, and Adriano Lucas, Superman is summoned by Mr.
Terrific to discuss his ongoing investigation into a universe dubbed the Elseworld, which readers know to be the Absolute Universe. Mr. Terrific reveals he's reached an impasse in his analysis of this enigmatic world, and only one person possesses the necessary understanding: Lex Luthor. Superman needs Luthor's help to access the Absolute Universe, a task that requires Luthor to tap into his inner darkness. As Mr. Terrific explains, 'His help could be the key.' However, there's a catch. In Superman #15, Lex sacrificed his memories to aid Superman in a battle against Brainiac. This amnesia has stripped him of his villainous cunning and genius, rendering him incapable of assisting in the investigation. The current Lex Luthor, devoid of his villainous past, is a far cry from the brilliant mastermind readers have come to know. He's adopted a more amiable persona, even embarking on a genuine romance with Mercy Graves. This newfound peace, a stark contrast to his previous life as Superman's nemesis, puts Superman in a difficult position. He must grapple with the ethical dilemma of reversing Lex's progress and potentially stripping him of his newfound happiness to save the multiverse. The fate of the DC Universe rests on Superman's shoulders: Will he allow Lex Luthor to remain on his path toward redemption, or will he sacrifice Lex's peace to access the knowledge needed to confront the terrifying reality of the Absolute Universe?
