'Superman & Lois' Episode 2 Spoilers: What does The Stranger want from Kal-el in 'Heritage'?
Is Jordan really worthy?
To understand the real powers, Kal-el’s son, Jordan, must understand the heritage of his father. In Men of Steel, Kal-El discovers the ancient Kryptonian Scout Ship 0344 buried in the Arctic, accompanied by a loyal robot and a hologram of his father, Jor-El. Kent takes his son to the scout ship to tell his father the reality of his very own son.
Upon observing Jordan, Kent’s father, Jor-El, tells him that his son lacks real power, which breaks Jordan’s heart. However, Kent remains hopeful that his son will inherit all the powers when the right time comes.
Will Lex Luthor kill Clark Kent?
In the first episode, we saw how The Stranger is trying to kill Superman. During the final moments of the episode, we learned that The Stranger is Lex Luthor. In ‘Heritage’, we get to discover who he really is and what does he want from his archenemy.
As it turns out, Luthor or The Stranger, in this case, is from a different planet Earth. He tells Kent’s father-in-law Samuel Lane that on his Earth, Kal-el went mad and killed everyone. He has come to this earth to put an end to Kent’s action so that he does not turn evil and destroy this planet. He gives a digital drive to Sam that has footage of Kal-el from his planet, where we see how he has killed everyone who has come in between his path.
In DC Comics, Luthor is shown as the sole survivor of Earth-Three after it was destroyed in the ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths.’ In the second installment of ‘Arrowverse’, we saw how Lex Luthor stole the Book of Destiny and used it to jump from world to world, killing the Superman of every Earth. So, there is a possibility that before coming to this planet Earth, Luthor might have killed some other Superman along the way.
Lois Lane versus Morgan Edge
Meanwhile, in the second episode, the primary conflict arises after Morgan Edge is introduced. The episode revolves quite a bit around the new story Lois is working on that revolves around Smallville. However, since Edge is her boss at the Daily Planet, Lois is prepared to write her best takedown piece yet, but as it turns out, her piece is heavily edited as it depicts the reality of Edge and how he destroys families just to make a profit.
‘Superman & Lois’ Episode 2 does a much better job of telling us what we can expect from Clark and Lois’ personal lives. That said, it is still unclear what exactly Superman and his wife Lois are trying to be – are they going to help their son in becoming the better version of themselves or does Kent become what Luthor has predicted?
More will be unveiled in the third episode of ‘Superman & Lois’ titled 'The Perks of Not Being a Wallflower', which is set to air on March 9, 2021.
