"Put your gun down Luthor!" Henderson yelled with anger in his voice. Luthor didn't want to hear it and was about to pull the trigger when one of the cops' guns went off and hit Luthor in his head.

Yes indeed, Lex has a habit of coming back and causing tremendous grief for our favorite reporting duo -- and their family.
