Season Three
In search of something to write about at the Superfest convention, Lois Lane spotted Winslow Schott and tailed him with Clark Kent in tow to the Schott's Toys booth. She believed Schott was up to something. Kent wished her luck and left to go present Supergirl at a panel as Superman. A mother purchased one of the teddy bears on sale for her daughter. Schott was startled by Lane. She inquired if he had built any dangerous new novelty weapons lately that might detonate or explode. He asked if he knew her. Lane scoffed and reminded him he tried to kill her. Schott remembered she was Sam Lane's daughter and pleaded with her to lower her voice since her family already destroyed his life. Lane was taken aback. He claimed to be a mere toy merchant running a normal business. She asked him if he was sure about that. He asked her to leave him in peace to share the joy of toys with others. She refused and broke several toys in her search for weapons.
Schott insisted he was reformed. Lane still didn't believe him and stated she found the truth for a living. Schott pointed out she was scaring the customers. Lane believed he had a bomb hiding in the teddy bears and snatched one from a girl. Lane warned everyone to back away but realized it was just an ordinary teddy bear. The girl cried and her mother admonished Lane. Lane panicked she was "Villain Lois" just like in Jimmy Olsen's Superman's Pal comic book. She tried to apologize in vain. Clark Kent arrived and presented a new bear and offered to pay for the damaged one. Schott was grateful. Kent saw some Farm Marm toys he wanted, too. He cued Lane to apologize but she spotted oddly accurate looking missiles, a gatling gun, and ammo cases. She decided to taunt Schott into incriminating himself and apologized for thinking he was more than an unremarkable old tinkerer and she overestimated him when there was no way a harmless little toyman could make bear bombs or invent incredible weapons no one ever dreamed of. She "admitted" she was so caught up in their past and getting a story, she failed to see how he could never be a threat to anyone.
Schott had enough and activated his giant mechanical mobile suit. Lane was pleased but not Kent. Before he could change into Superman, Hank Henshaw knocked it outside onto its back. Lex Luthor presented Henshaw as a homegrown American hero, created with his human ingenuity and Henshaw's iron will, after being shot down in last year's alien invasion. Henshaw repeatedly punched the mech suit into submission well after it was defeated. Luthor stated they no longer needed to rely on the mercy of violent aliens to keep them safe. Henshaw struck the mech suit one last time.
