 Kryptonite Man agreed under the condition that General Sam Lane helps him locate his wife.Sam Lane is also seen in the relaunched Superman comics which chronologically takes place five years later in the present day, and his relationship with Superman is not that much different, right to the point where he accuses Superman that his presence in Metropolis is what attracts all the super-powered menaces and for that reason his daughter will always be in danger even though she is now a news producer instead of a reporter.Following the death of US Senator Hume, Sam Lane was chosen as his replacement and has now become a member of the US Senate.
