History

Despite the pressures of his job, Sam always made time for Lois when she was growing up, and the two had a great relationship. They had their only major argument when Lois married the famous superhero Kal-El, which Sam warned her would end badly. At some point Sam was put in charge of Project 4377, a military research project to create X-Kryptonite weapons in case Kal-El ever became a threat to the world.

When Sam's grandson Jonathan-El was fifteen, he revealed that he had inherited Kal-El's superpowers. Jon eventually fell in with Ally Allston's cult. Kal-El became obsessed with destroying Ally and started using Green Kryptonite to enhance his powers. His increasingly erratic behavior lead Lois to leave him, taking their other son Jordan-El with her.

Lois went to Sam for help, but shortly after they arrived at the Department of Defense, Jon attacked the building accompanied by Lana-Rho, looking for the military's X-Kryptonite weapons. Sam refused to give them to him but Lt. Reno Rosetti, a member of Ally's cult within the DoD, lead him to the vault where they were kept. Jon told his family to disappear if they would not join Ally. Lois, Sam and Jordan took refuge in a hidden bunker, but Lois maintained contact with her friend Chrissy Beppo.

Ally and her followers seized control of the government and Ally announced that there was another world where everyone had a counterpart, and that she was planning to merge the two worlds together. Kal-El, by now horribly deformed due to the heavy Kryptonite use, tracked them to the bunker. He apologised to them for prioritising his superheroics and fame over them and told them that he planned to steal the pedant Ally needed to complete her plan and take it to the other world where he believed it could be destroyed. Kal-El successfully took the pendant and then disappeared into the other world.

Months later, Lois was contacted by Chrissy, who told her that a man had crossed over from the other world and was hiding at a safe location they had previously agreed. This man, Mitchell Anderson had the pendant and its counterpart from the other world. Lois and her family took him to hide out in the basement of the family's farm in Smallville.

Later, Jon returned to the farm (unaware that the others were there) with Kal-El's counterpart Superman. Jon believed that Superman knew where Anderson and the pendants were, and attacked Superman when he told him that he did not know. Lois and Anderson rushed upstairs and overpowered and tied up Jon, but unfortunately Ally and her counterpart tracked them to the farm, bringing Lana and Kal-El's brother Tal-Rho with them.

Superman and Anderson tried to fight Tal-Rho, Jon and Lana, but they were outnumbered and Jon managed to take the pendants and deliver them to the Allys. The Allys began to fuse together and the pendants to Jon, telling him to go to the other world and fuse with his counterpart. Jon left and crossed through the portal between worlds, but Tal-Rho had a change of heart and let Superman go to stop him.
