The cloned 'son', who of course was really Luthor in a new younger healthier body, got killed by the Clone Virus that afflicted lots of DC clones (including Superboy). As I recall, in the Underworld Unleashed miniseries/crossover, Luthor made a deal the Neron, the DC version of the devil, to get a healthy new body since his cloned body was rapidly dying from the virus. But Neron has the last laugh as this new body is, of course, bald.
For a while they gave Luthor red eyebrows to show that he had recently been in the cloned 'son of Luthor' body (who had long flowing Scottish locks of red hair), but they stopped doing it after a while. I thought that Luthor with eeevil red eyebrows looked cool.
Incidentally, I say Scottish just theoretically, because it's been hinted at in various Superman incarnations that the name Luthor is Irish or Scottish or Welsh, something like that -- flaming red hair on the son, Lionel's grandfather having the very Irish/Scottish name "Lachlan Luthor" (also continuing the LL tradition) on Smallville, etc. |
