I'm trying to put together a list of episodes where one or more of these elements are major factors (as opposed to secondary background storylines, particularly in Lex's case):
  • globe
  • spaceship
  • kryptonite
  • Lex Luthor
  • Bureau 39
  • Tempus
  • New Kyptonians


So far this is what I have:
  • The Pilot 1 & 2 (first confrontation with Lex & spaceship referred to)
  • Neverending Battle (Lex tests Superman)
  • Strange Visitor (first appearance of Bureau 39, globe & spaceship)
  • The Green, Green Glow of Home (Bureau 39, spaceship & first kyrptonite appearance)
  • Foundling (the globe)
  • Barbarians at the Planet & The House of Luthor (Lex & kyptonite)
  • Madam Ex (first time Lois sees kryptonite in action)
  • Metallo (kryptonite powered cyborg)
  • Top Copy (Superman suffers massive kyptonite exposure)
  • Tempus Fugitive (Tempus)
  • Individual Responsibility (kyptonite)
  • And the Answer Is . . . (kryptonite & Tempus connection)
  • Ultra Woman (kryptonite & a Bureau 39 connection)
  • Home Is Where the Hurt Is (spaceship)
  • Tempus, Anyone? (Tempus)
  • Through a Glass Darkly & Big Girls Don’t Fly (New Kryptonians & spaceship)
  • Lord of the Flys & Battleground Earth (New Kryptonians & kryptonite)
  • Soulmates (Tempus)
  • Meet John Doe & Lois & Clarks (Tempus)


Maybe apply:
  • Ordinary People (kryptonite appears, yes, but I can’t remember just how much of a role it plays in the story)
  • Lethal Weapon (does kyptonite exposure cause his problem originally?)


Have I missed any?

EDIT NOTE: I had reversed the plot elements of Neverending Battle & Strange Visitor so I fixed those two. Also, I intentionally didn't include the non-wedding arc that does include Lex but just remembered that there was another episode that he appears in post-death, which is his first bald appearance. What is the name of that one?
