Adventures of Superman#4(1992)

As Lex writes on his personal journal about his latest idea to kill Superman, he remembers how he spent his day. During the morning, Lex buys out Mr. Andrige's company, saying that he will reveal everything he has done to the authorities if he does not comply. Meanwhile, Superman is fighting an android Lex created. Lex also met with some government officials he blackmailed. He provides the government with technology to improve the economy and their safety inspectors turn a blind eye to his extralegal activities. Then, he fires some of his scientists even though he has never personally met them. Later, Lex finishes building a laser that could cut the moon in half. His assistant, Michelle, is concerned that Luthor is building weapons instead of making things that could benefit mankind. Lex considers hiring a new assistant. Then, Lex has a meeting with some world leaders, including Grodd, who is upset that Lex is raising the price of a weapons package he sold him earlier. Lex replies that the first weapon package he sold him contains a failsafe mechanism program to detonate any time he wants. Grodd has no choice but to pay Lex's price. Lex also has a date with an actress at the opera, but he is uninterested and leaves. Meanwhile, Superman has defeated the robot. Lex spends some time at his office after hours when Superman confronts him with his robot's remains. Superman knows Luthor built the robot but he can't prove it, so he leaves, but not before burning Luthor's journal. Lex goes to his safe, retrieve a new journal and begins to write about his new idea to kill Superman.
