Luthor and his team continue their quest for the Black Ring energy, this time to Uganda, where they are being monitored by Gorilla Grodd. Grodd sends his apes to kidnap RoboLois, discovering she's a robot. He then attacks the team directly, beheading Luthor with his combat spoon and eating his head; but he finds it's another robot. Instead, Luthor has infiltrated Grodd's headquarters, where a black sphere is. After getting what they want, they escape in a chopper, but Grodd returns in time to shoot Luthor with a raygun rifle, and Luthor falls to a likely death.
