    Lex Luthor finally goes mad and convinces himself that, if he can't have Metropolis, nobody can! He's dying slowly, due to the cloning process and has decided to destroy metropolis, by detonating various bombs placed around the city and Superman can do nothing to stop them all at once. Superman confronts Luthor, but doesn't have the heart to strike a dying man. Meanwhile, oblivious to what's going on there, Lana is having her wedding, which adds such a bizarre and sad ambience to the whole thing...
