So, I think it's fair to say that Lex would have been almost as obsessed, even without Superman, and might well have blown up the planet etc. (Assuming the city survived without Superman to stop the Toasters and Nightfall and everything else...)
But without CK/Superman in the picture, Lois might have died at the hands of Toni Baines, or (assuming she survived Toni, or never went to the hangar) while on the spaceship going up to Prometheus! Lex would never have had a chance!
We could talk about this forever... too many variables to consider, I think!
Gotta love fanfic, huh? Anything's possible.
