unbeknownst to anyone, luthor has illegitimate sons, two of whom try to kill superman over the course of the last two seasons. the first one entrapped lois and clark in a virtual reality before the two tricked him into letting them out but during the struggle they leave him with no escape window thus trapping him in his own virtual reality and separating his mind from his body. the second one, played by keith brunsmann, is facially deformed and disowned by his father, reduced to living in a furnished sewer/transit station beneath metropolis. lex luthor jr. hires a handsome stand-in, leslie luckabee (played by patrick cassidy) to impersonate him; the impostor poses as lex jr.'s public persona as he murders the ceos of his father's old companies and rebuilds lexcorp. while lex jr. and his impostor manage to get their hands on a recording of the elder luthor (john shea's voice) revealing superman's secret identity, both men are later killed in an explosion that levels the crypt. lois is initially skeptical that lex could have fathered these adult men, but clark insists that no one can be sure of luthor's true age since he was "a master of deception."
