Superman & Lois season 4 episode 6 premiered on November 4, 2024. The episode saw Lex Luthor dealing with the events of his daughter leaving him and furthering his plan to torment Lois Lane. Aside from that, the episode also finally saw Superman / Clark Kent and Lex Luthor throw down hands in a brutal street fight after the latter rendered the Man of Steel's powers useless.

However, Clark was still able to come out on top of that fight in Superman & Lois season 4. Dealing with his injuries, Lex then moved back to Metropolis. There he was met by his ally Amanda, who promised to be by his side no matter what, and the episode ended with her saying that Lex needs a "killer suit."

Over her, Superman & Lois season 4 effectively sets up that Lex Luthor is set to get his Warsuit in the series. With only four episodes left to go, fans can expect to see it sooner rather than later and this also teases another fight between Luthor and Superman.


How does Lex Luthor get his Warsuit in the comics?

In the DC Comics continuity, Lex Luthor received his Warsuit in the post-crisis community on Apokolips. In the books, Lex Luthor used the suit to fight Superman and level the playing field. However, the suit wasn't enough to stop Superman, who was able to disable it. Previously before this, there was another Warsuit too that was a prototype made by Lexcorp, but it unfortunately drove its user insane.

On Prime Earth, Lex Luthor also mysteriously acquired a supersuit. He then reverse-engineered its technology to enhance the tech he already had. After getting out of prison, his company tried developing an armor that could help him defeat Superman. Luthor then first donned the armor when the Crime Syndicate attacked the world, and helped Superman and the Justice League too.

In the comic books, Lex Luthor has also used the Warsuit to become the new protector of Metropolis after Superman's death. The Warsuit gives him powers like durability, super strength, flight, and more.


What can fans expect from Superman & Lois season 4?

Going forward into Superman & Lois season 4, fans can expect Lex to don the Warsuit armor and take to the skies to fight Superman. However, how he gets the Warsuit armor in Superman & Lois season 4 still remains to be seen. In the teaser for the season, Lex can be seen wearing armor that's similar to John Henry Irons' Steel suit, and perhaps that's how Lex may be able to get his hands on it.

This also effectively sets up another fight between Lex Luthor and Superman. Given that we got to see Clark Kent absolutely demolish Lex in a hand-to-hand fight, this will push the supervillain even further to defeat his arch-nemesis. We already know that Luthor knows about Superman's weaknesses, and this may prompt him to equip the suit with countermeasures.

Aside from that, Superman & Lois season 4 will also give us the final battle between Lex Luthor and Superman, given that this is the show's final season as well. However, it will be interesting to see how Lois Lane may get out of this situation too.
