He went along with Dr. Virgil Swann, Lionel Luthor, Edward and Genevieve Teague. Therefore, Dr. Swann's daughter Patricia, Lionel's son Lex Luthor, and the Teagues' son Jason were childhood friends. Lionel suggested that not only should they protect the young Kal-El, they could control him too with the Orb. However, both Robert and Dr. Swann disagreed, mostly because Lionel, Genevieve and Edward were too power hungry
