Lex Luthor has risen from Smallville's star pupil to become one of the world's wealthiest and most powerful figures. That isn't nearly enough for a man with his ambition. Time and again Superman and his friends have stood in the way of Luthor's ultimate goal - to rule the world. Individually he has failed but now he sees a new direction, a new hope, a new plan, a new ... team! Luthor hires Mirror Master (the stealth), Cyborgirl (the technician) and Giganta (the muscle) to break into T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Headquarters and steal the Menthor helmet. With a few evil modifications to the device along with the help of his trusty, seductive android RoboLois and an adorable lost kitten named Dex-Starr, Luthor lures Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen to LexCorp. The final piece of the puzzle, the key to finally besting the Kryptonian now answers to Luthor. Jimmy Olsen - Welcome to the Legion of Doom! The New Dawn's most evil adventure kicks off in August and as young Jimmy Olsen would say, "Yes sir Mr. Luthor, Superman must die!"
