Supergroup Ideas: LoD and HoV vs. Kyle Tippet (from 'Hug') #2

The 'Legion of Doom' and the 'Hand of Vengeance' vs. Kyle Tippet (from 
'Hug'), second collage:

Lex offers Emily Dinsmore, Lana's childhood friend, as a bargaining chip in 
return for the services of Lana's followers, a group of vigilantes known as 
the 'Hand of Vengeance'.

In return the Hand would aid Lex's Legion of Doom in a strategic attack upon 
the Justice League. This attack would have the the primary goal of 
eliminating League member Kyle Tippet.

The motivation behind the attack is Lex's fear that Kyle's abilities might 
have the effect of cancelling out the abilities of Legion member Mxyzptlk, 
Lex's last line of defense. Lex fears that this might give Clark an 
opportunity to finish him off.

Lana and her followers despise everything that Luthorcorp stands for. 
However Lana ultimately decides to accept Lex's offer. She does this to save 
Emily, her childhood friend in addition to being a powerful metahuman with 
the ability to run at great speeds through solid matter. Another reason why 
she does this is because of her own personal fear and loathing for Kyle 
Tippet.

Lana had first met Kyle when she was only fourteen. She had been riding her 
horse through woods near Kyle's house when her horse was spooked, and she 
was thrown from it. When she awoke she saw Kyle leaning over her. After 
hearing odd stories about him and the woods near his house she came to 
believe that he spooked her horse and planned to attack her.

Hearing Kyle's name also brought back bad memories of Clark. Lana remembered 
that Clark had stood up for Kyle, an action that left her feeling hurt and 
betrayed. It was like losing one of her best friends.

Lex tells Lana that he hates himself for the time that he provided shelter 
and a doctor for Kyle, something he did at Clark's request.

Lex and Lana realize that although they despise each other, with every fiber 
of their beings, they also share common enemies--Clark Kent, Kyle Tippet, 
and the Justice League with them.
