However, the robots were quite dangerous and secretly programmed to kill. After being activated, the LexBots went on a rampage where they encountered the newly unveiled superhero known as Superman who struggled against the machines as he was not accustomed to his powers. However, he was quickly able to overcome the robots and end the plans of Lex Luthor.
