I always thought that Red K doesn't make Superman apathetic but increases his emotions. He was feeling pretty apathetic -- like he wasn't making a difference -- in Individual Resposibility, which is why it increased those feelings in him. Also, when he felt angry about Lois and Scardino, he got REALLY angry (punching hole in Dr. Friskin's wall). So, try this idea again and instead of making Superman apathetic, make him MAD at Luthor or make him JEALOUS.
