Bob Fences

**Bob Fences** is a villain in the series.

He was a sick and twisted computer genius who wanted to hold the world at bay for profit so he chose someone closest to Superman to be used as a pawn to get him out of the way while he made his deranged dream a reality.

## Personality

Bob appears to be portrayed as a spoiled child who will stop at nothing to get his way even if he has to kill millions to do it. He is also a nutcase with his fascination for aliens and his interest in space hero action figures which he plays with in his office.

## History

It is clear that Bob was a very intelligent man who was brilliant with computers which gave him a opportunity to found Nanosoft, one of the greatest computer software companies in Metropolis. He also hired Simone as his personal assistant.

Though the business was a success, Bob became greedy as profits made from the company had been limited by trade barriers overseas in certain areas. He had tried to make negotiations with them but had failed so he decided to use a much more resourceful and deadly method, so when he heard about one of his employees Dr. Martin Solsvig making a high-tech Microwave transmitter, he saw his chance.

### Season 3

Knowing that Superman would try and stop him, Bob kidnapped Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane who was driving home. He then had his men drug her and had Dr. Solsvig insert a chip in her to make her believe she had been captured by aliens and constantly having hallucinations of them as a guarantee that nothing would spoil his plans. While Lois was constantly throwing herself into danger, the Man of Steel would be too preoccupied.

Later Dr. Solsvig told Bob that he was almost ready to make the transmitter fully operation but there were two problems: firstly he needed a special computer chip called a Zenith and secondly a stronger pulse amplifier. Bob promised him that he would have those things soon.

He then had his men break into Zenith Technologies to grab the chips. At precisely 11 o'clock Bob then activated the chip he had implanted in Lois to make her see aliens again, making her unthinkingly jump out of a helicopter. While Superman was saving her, Bob's men successfully made off with the chips.

Simone then told Bob that the robbery was a success and that Superman had been too distracted to stop them. Bob then proceeded with his next plan to steal the pulse amplifier.

Meanwhile Lois and her news partner Clark Kent were paying Dr. Solsvig a visit to see if they could get any leads on why Lois get getting these hallucinations. Bob then appeared and introduced himself,. Unbeknownst to him, Bob had gotten careless and had reflected his face in one of the devices that had brainwashed Lois. Lois immediately recognises him, but Bob covers her suspicions by saying that he had been on the news a lot lately. Clark said that he had read Bob's interview on trade barriers and Bob agreed saying that the unfair trade barriers were the reasons why so many business were failing and declared if negotiations couldn't be made then war might follow suit. Clark replied that he hoped it wouldn't come to that and Bob watched him and Lois leave.

Meanwhile Bob activated Lois' chip again at 3 o'clock so his men could steal the pulse amplifier. Dr. Solsvig later caught on with what Bob was trying to with the transmitter and was horrified, wanting no part of it. Bob then had him killed and had his men continue work on completing the transmitter.

Back in his office, Simone appeared saying the transmitter was almost complete, but Lois and Clark were back. After Simone sent them in, Lois immediately out-rightly accused Bob of brainwashing her and had killed Dr. Solsvig. She also says that she has a witness who can vouch for her, but as she had seen all this in a dream, Bob gleefully shakes this off as one of Lois' hallucinations and makes them leave.

Knowing that the two reporters were now onto him, he ordered Simone to tighten security and hold his calls as he was typing a letter to the Cayman Islands demanding one billion dollars to be delivered to an offshore bank or he would activate the transmitter which would destroy their cities at 5pm, Eastern standard time. Unfortunately Clark, who was also Superman used his enhanced vision to catch a quick glimpse of the letter on Bob's computer before he shut it off. Bob was planning to activate Lois' chip again so Superman wouldn't stop him.

Bob and Simone were then in Dr. Solvig's laboratory proceeding to activate the transmitter after the country didn't give in to his demands. Simone was still worried about Superman, but Bob said Lois should be putting herself in danger again, so the Man of Steel would be too distracted. However Superman and Lois entered, just after Bob turned on the transmitter. Superman then used his heat vision to destroy the rod on top of the transmitter. causing it to it topple and hang downwards. Bob then berated him as it was still going to fire but now the whole transmitter would explode.

Thinking quickly, Superman grabbed all three people from the laboratory and went to a corner, shielding them all with his cape while the transmitter exploded, sending flying debris everywhere. After Bob and Simone had recovered from the shock, they saw Superman go over to Lois who had a gash on her forehead and was unconscious. As Superman checked her pulse, Bob enquired about her. He then faced an enraged Superman who berated both him and Simone for getting Lois involved in their scheme in the first place. The two shrank away, thinking Superman would kill them, but he instead tied the horrid man and his nasty assistant back to back with some heavy metal cable and left them for the authorities while he flew away with Lois to get her some medical attention. They watched Superman leave and struggled to get free as the Man of Steel had tied them up too strongly. They were most likely arrested after this.
