Society
of Heroes
It has been more than seven years since Jonathan Kent's spirit appeared before Clark (09-24-2010) revealing to him of the darkness he would have to face in the foreseeable future. Now that Clark, as Metropolis' hero “Superman,” has defeated Darkseid, he now has other dangers to face. With his reformed team of heroes known as the Justice League of America, Superman and his allies must take on Lex Luthor, the clever megalomaniac owner of LexCorp and 66.2; the successor to the underground metahuman projects subsidiary 33.1. And, on top of that, rogue agents from Checkmate and the Suicide Squad have resurfaced and made their intentions known to ally with Lex and cause chaos for the unsuspecting inhabitants of Metropolis, Kansas.

Season
One, Episode 01; Return, Part I-
In
this thrilling two-hour season premiere, the cast from SMALLVILLE returns to
continue the stories of the Superman mythology and other notable D.C.
Comics characters.
At
the Justice League headquarters, Oliver (Justin Hartley) and Dinah
(Alaina Huffman) are not convinced that Tess Mercer is deceased. They sincerely believed her to be an invaluable asset to
Watchtower and disclose to Clark of their constantly receiving
messages and clues possibly leading to Tess still being alive. Clark says
that if she can be found, then all must be done to prevent her
state-of-being and whereabouts from being discovered by Lex...
At
the former LuthorCorp Plaza tower, renamed LEXCORP TOWER, Lex Luthor is speaking with
his top scientist on the possibility of retrieving his lost memories.
Since the security footage in his executive office became damaged
with the arrival of Darkseid's planet, Lex cannot verify if there was
a woman on his office floor that day; and if he had found her dead,
or killed her himself. Apparently, when he was distracted watching
the impending doom in the sky, he was knocked out; and the woman he
claimed was in his office, vanished without a trace. He also
confesses that his memories indeed can only go as far back as that
day: the late afternoon of Friday May 13, 2011. Lex's scientist
remembers a procedure that was successful with Summerholt Institute
technicians, but cannot completely remember the formula itself. Lex
orders his scientist to do whatever it takes to locate that
information and to report back to him when he has a reliable lead.
[Prior
to her death, Tess eradicated any paper trail that would reveal that
LuthorCorp's former CEO was in fact Lex Luthor's half-blood sister. Tess
even went through the trouble of rewriting the Luthor family history
so Lex could not ever have a link to his real past. She willed all
true information of herself and family lineage to Clark Kent, her
Watchtower colleague. Unbeknownst to all who befriended Tess in the
Justice League, she still has more to offer her beloved allies, and
that one of them is responsible for aiding her in that very
mission]...
After
learning about the information leading to Tess, Clark sets out to
find her. He traces the signal of the messages to the same apartment
building where Oliver's clock tower loft is. When Clark
arrives, he is surprised to see a hooded woman dressed in red.
Thinking it is the Red Queen, the woman turns around
and reveals herself to be Tess after all. Clark ponders to how this
is possible. Is it the Tess from Earth-2, or a clone of the real
Tess? But, Tess explains to Clark that Chloe was able to restore her
healing abilities after requesting them from Jor-El right before
Clark destroyed Darkseid. Since then, Chloe has become one of
two "emissaries" on behalf of Jor-El in service to 'the Kryptonian House of El.' Chloe was bestowed the
Kryptonian oracle name Rapha-El meaning "The Healer." Both Tess and Chloe do not know who
the other emissary is, but they do know that Martha knows for certain.
Tess also reveals that because of Martha's former insider knowledge of Checkmate, Tess was able to become Martha's Second-in-Command and her
corporeal decoy in the field taking on the code-name "Vigilance" and adopting the
pseudonym "Virginia Lance."
It is now nighttime. Lois
leaves and Lana goes to Metropolis Memorial Park Cemetery to meet up
with her secret confidants. A figure dressed in dark robes stands
above the site of Lionel Luthor's grave marker. Lana announces her
arrival and the figure removes his hood. The man is revealed to be
Lionel Luthor himself (John Glover)! The real Lionel Luthor! Not a
clone or an alternative version!
Shortly
after, joining Lana and Lionel is Lex's second wife, Dr. Helen Bryce
(Emmanuelle Vaugier). Helen was right all along in despising Lex
because she believes wholeheartedly that he has become an evil man.
Although personally sad at this truth, Lionel accepts that Lex is
truly irredeemable. So, he vows to be of service to Clark and the
Justice League in quelling all of Lex's diabolical agendas. Lionel says that when the time is right, he will reveal
himself to Clark with Martha's help...
[In SMALLVILLE: Season Seven, Episode 11, "Siren," Lana warned Lionel that Lex was a foe not to be underestimated. Despite their own complicated relationship, Lana genuinely cared for Lionel's well-being reiterating that Lex was historically prone to obsession. Her former husband had by that time became far more dangerous and unpredictable than ever before. Lionel judged the serious tone and countenance of Lana's warnings and set about putting matters in to motion to prepare for the worst. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AganAMKd_o0)].
[In SMALLVILLE: Season Seven, Episode 16, "Descent," Lex is awaiting his father's arrival in Lionel's office at LUTHORCORP Plaza, the skyscraper world headquarters for the family business. Lex retreats from the shadows and inquires the real reasons Lionel was in the town of Smallville on the day of its first meteor shower, on October 07, 1989. Lionel throws away Lex's suspicions on determining the factual identity of an individual known as "the Traveler." Lionel declared that Lex was that traveler. The Luthor patriarch's association with Veritas had become more and more known to Lex but Lionel could not give up his group's most private secrets, even in the face of death. Lionel proved his undying loyalty to the Kryptonian named Kal-El when Lex was not satisfied with his father's supposed revelations. Lex withdrew a handgun and opened fire toward Lionel shooting the office's principal window. Lex retrieved one vital clue from Lionel, a necklace bearing the Veritas symbol. Lex then exacted revenge against his own father by pushing him out of the office window, forty stories above grade; murdering the man from whose seed had given him life. Lex officially began his "descent" in to becoming an evil man in that very moment. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK_P-XxKks4)].
...However, unbeknownst to anyone, Lionel survived! John Jones used his abilities and gift of flight to save Lionel in time before he plummeted to his death. Lionel was Jor-El's "oracle" and he had to be saved at all costs should Jor-El require him for any further Kryptonian mission work. From research that was uncovered from his own LUTHORCORP sources, Lionel had in the previous year, in 2006, used the technology from Lex's 'Project Ares' to clone himself just as Lex had done to Lana. With the help of John Jones, the clone of Lionel was put in place of where Lionel would have landed had he really died. With his superspeed, the Martian Manhunter spirited the real Lionel to safety to live in obscurity but to undergo trials from Jor-El. After succeeding in these trials, Lionel was given all of the gifts of a 'true Kryptonian' and given his official oracle name of "Lion-El." As Jor-El's oracle, Lionel was to not interfere with Kal-El's progressions until after the ultimate threat of Darkseid and his planet were extinguished. With Kal-El becoming "Superman," as he was known to the people of Earth - and having become a Hero in his own right after overcoming his father's trials - Lion-El could finally surface and be of service on behalf of 'the Kryptonian House of El' in the open with the members at Watchtower.

In "Chief" we learn that Perry White is celebrating his six-year anniversary of being appointed 'Editor-in-Chief' for the Daily Planet. This good news and a reunion with journalistic colleagues Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and James Bartholomew Olsen soon after turn sour as shocking breaking news informs the world. American politics had made a turn for the worse in recent weeks up to the mid-term congressional elections concurrently bringing forth a highly unusual and swift down-turn in the economy, somehow leading to a constitutional crisis. Hmmm... Guess what has happened?! All of the chaos in the country thrust the CEO of LEXCORP toward ultimate political and military power! Alexander "Lex" Luthor became "President-Elect for the United States of America," the new incoming 'Commander-in-Chief.'
On the next day, and already having recently endured "strong-arming" threats from (President-Elect) Lex Luthor, a distressed and distracted Perry White tries managing the world's most famous newspaper attempting to headline the latest developments. Luthor has made known of an aggressive economic recovery plan he is set to address to Congress. Frantically calling on his star reporter and journalist Lois Lane for the latest scoops, Perry turns around in a frenzy startling himself when sighting a replica marble bust of his hero Gaius Julius Caesar IV in his upper-storey office. "Great Caesar's Ghost!"
