X - El is a dead ringer with all of Superman ’s powerfulness and Lex ’s sick hotshot .
unluckily , that include his fixation with work Superman bear for “ steal ” Metropolis ’s passion , and penalize Metropolis for “ lead astray ” him .
Mercy has spend the retiring several calendar month upgrade the clon with the memory of Lex before his creative thinker was pass over in the struggle against Brainiac , and the datum she collect about Superman ’s ability from solve with him .
He ’s at least on the same point of enduringness as the Man of Steel .
And unlike Superman andnew Superwoman Lois Lane , he was n’t annoy by the Kryptonite Mercy used to sabotage them .
However , that resistivity to Kryptonite might add up from the fact that X - El is n’t just a knockoff of Superman and Lex , he is base on the same cloning operation Lex used to produce his own Bizarro a few old age ago .
That obscure contingent manifest as he combat Superman , Superwoman , and the literal Lex Luthor , as his thinker and visual aspect begin to cheapen as he struggle not to say the contrary of what he have in mind .
A Bizarro adaptation of Lex with all of Bizarro ’s intensity level is the last affair Metropolis need , and he made trusted to essay it by have a go at ruin the metropolis .

This was this bizarro lex was altogether ghost with stamp out superman and disembowel metropolis , and put up a darn right prospect of doing so , even with lex , superman , and superwoman make for together .
The latter two were still break by Kryptonite and test to prevail accompaniment until X - El anticipate to obliterate Superwoman ’s intact sept , admit her boy Jon .
Superwoman did n’t take that kindly , and unleash a bam of estrus visual sensation so potent it could be assure as a reddened mainstay from extinct quad .
regrettably , the monolithic flack sap her , and she collapse next to Superman , who was still fight his cherry-red Kryptonite contagion .
The now almost amply Bizarroed X - El attend like he had get ahead , until Lex rejoin to his own mode and execute the ringer , take for him too unsafe to keep active .
This was this , mercy let out , was her program all along , to coerce lex to come back to his more nefarious tendency and make morose selection for the smashing commodity .

This was now superman and lex luthor are once again at betting odds with each other .
It seems that X - El did n’t just get in as one of Superman ’s most grave foe , but also foretell the possible oddment of Lex Luthor ’s incumbency as one of Superman ’s ally .
X - El is the combining of Lex and Superman , exchangeable to Superboy , except that this dead ringer was the metaphoric theatrical performance of the depravation of Superman ’s major power with Lex ’s vicious personality .
He was Lex ’s speculative thought and intuitive feeling give material body , and having been force to face that , it might be that Lex will once again range from the route of the righteous and towards more unsavoury selection as he has so many meter before .
meter will only secernate if X - El was more than a Bizarro Lex , which is already unsound enough on its own .
Superman#25 is on sales agreement now .
