The Machinist is using mind control chips to take hold of people and animals, and cause terror and chaos in locations across the globe. When it's discovered that the chips being used are modified stolen technology originally manufactured by Lexcorp, Superman teams up with Lex Luthor to take the villain down! But when the Machinist manages to tag Lex with a mind control chip, the Man of Steel's ally is suddenly his enemy! And considering their already contentious relationship, is the chip really in complete control of Lex or is it merely expanding his natural resentment toward Superman?
