Sent to Earth as an infant from the dying planet Krypton, Kal-El was adopted by the loving Kent family and raised in America's heartland as Clark Kent. Using his immense solar-fueled powers, he became Superman to defend mankind against all manner of threats while championing truth, justice, and the American way!
I think he's referrring to the time Lex Luthor posed as his own son in a cloned body during the 90s (so yeah, post-crisis)
Lex's original body had aqquired a form of cancer due to exposure to the Kryptonite ring he wore at the time, so he faked his death and underwent an operation, and his brain was transplanted from the cancer-ridden body to a freshly cloned one.
