Fans of the series Superman & Lois were left both startled and elated in this week’s episodes as character Lex Luthor, portrayed by Michael Cudlitz, made a nod to collaborating with Brainiac. As the plot unfolds (beware, more spoilers follow), Lex acquires an advanced technological container, which he intends to use to safeguard Superman’s deceased heart. The box appears transparent with a metallic border and emitting a light reminiscent of UV, leading us to speculate that it might be designed for weakening the heart through energy bombardment. Regardless, Lex has been assured by its creator, “Milton,” that it will function as promised. When Lex expresses his approval, Amanda McCoy (played by Yvonne Chapman) advises against boosting the supposed genius’s self-confidence.
