Red Sun is a Red Kryptonite-infused wannabe hero with an obsession for Lana Lang.
History
Origins
Amos Aimes was a teenager and somewhat of a juvenile delinquent when he met teenage Lana Lang, with whom he quickly fell in love. After almost getting killed in a motorcycle crash with Lana, and observing Clark Kent's powers saving her, Amos grew jealous, as well as overcome with guilt.[1] Amos made it his life's mission to become Lana's hero, and to that end he began experimenting with Red Kryptonite, unintentionally transforming himself into the angry monster Red Sun.[2]
Rebirth
When Lana went back to Smallville she met Amos and accidentally triggered his powers and turned him in Red Sun, who in turn took control of her. Lex Luthor managed to stop Red Sun but called Supergirl to deal with Lana.[1]
They took him back to The Scabbard and analyzed him but unable to revert him to his true form they set him free and fought him while trying to reason with him. They managed to defeat him and talk to him but were interrupted by an attack by the new Maxima who was stopped after the real one arrived.[2]
