I thikn superman should find a way to introduce Bizarro and Brainiac while keeping Lex. I have an idea for a good plot. The purpose of my plot is to:
1) Introduce Brainiac
2) Introduce Bizarro
3) Get rid of Richard
4) And get rid of the kid
Points:
-Lex Luther has one remaining krystal (unknown to lex luther the krystal holds the computer brain of Brainiac)
-Brainiac explains that he is an advanced alien techno life-form and that he is responsible for destroying Superman's World, and that he can help lex luther destroy superman, but lex has to help him
-Luther helps build Brainiac a body, and Brainiac will help Luther kill superman
-Brainiac and Lex Luthor enter into a mutual agreement that results in the formation of Lex Corp (Lex's company that specializes in weapons/defense technology)
-Lex becomes a public businessman figure. His pitch is that America doesn't need superman and can defend itself...and that Lex Corp is the future of American defense technology. Lex manipulates the public into thinking that superman is to powerful to be trusted and that nothing is to stop him from destroying Earth. Lex proclaims that America must learn to protect itself (the american public is oblivious to his plot from SR..so they don't know he is a villain)
-As the storyline progresses we see that Richard is becoming more and more jealous of the relationship between louis and superman
-Richard wants to get rid of superman (believes the world doesn't need superman and is very envious)
-He goes to Lex because he knows lex hates superman too (is reluctant to go at first, until somehow he finds out that Jason is superman's son...he is almost psychotic with rage and envy)
-Richard tells Lex Luther everything about louis, superman and the kid...Brainiac and Lex come up with a plan to use Richard's psychotic rage to their advantage.
-Lex luther hires some goons to stage a crime just so they can get a piece of superman's DNA
-Brainiac and Lex plan to use the DNA and fuse it with Richard's and a serum that will allow them to clone superman's powers and give them to Richard.
-The experiment almost kills Richard, but he survives...he has all of Superman's powers, but he is deformed and psychotic...when lex observes the finished product he says "OMG, it went all wrong..he's some kind of Bizarro Superman"..and that's when Richard gives himself the new identity Bizarro.
-Lex and Brainiac attempt to manipulate Bizarro, but Bizarro only is concerned with killing superman and his kid, falling in love with louis and being the new superhero of metropolis.
-Bizzaro kidnaps the kid to attract superman and accidentally kills him....which leads to an all out brawl between superman and bizarro.
haven't really thought of an ending...but i think it has potential.
