history: In the 1940s, Lex Luthor is a renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist who resides in Metropolis. He was married to Lois Lane, a war correspondent whom he met at a charity ball. Widely considered to be a model citizen and contributor to society, Luthor is also personal friends with high-ranking political figures such as Winston Churchill and President Franklin Roosevelt. Only Super-Soldier , a World War II-era superhero created by the U.S. Government, sees through this facade and knows that Luthor is actually a corrupt war profiteer who is aiding the Nazi Party in an effort to prolong the war.While looking into the secret government project that created Super-Soldier, Luthor learns of an alien craft that landed in Kansas and carried a radioactive ore known as Green K, or the "Kansas Lode". In 1938, he arranges for Nazi scientists to steal the ship and its cargo for him. Observing that the green meteorite weakened Super-Soldier, Luthor creates a serum from it, which he then injects it into himself; the result greatly extends his own lifespan, but inadvertently turns him into the cadaverous Green Skull.
Seeking to remove Super-Soldier, the main asset of the Allies, Luthor designs Ultra-Metallo , an enormous robot powered by Green K which becomes the chief weapon of the Axis powers. Both the robot and Super-Soldier engage each other over a fleet of Allied battleships; after a climactic battle, they both sink to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Luthor's second invention is the K-Bomb, an explosive composed of Green K, which he freely hands over to the Americans. As expected, the K-Bomb is quickly deployed, allowing Luthor to cut his losses and bring a swift end to the war. The detonation of the bomb also blankets the Earth in radiation, to which only Super-Soldier is susceptible.
