Thanks to all those who replied to me Superman question.
 
The concensus of opinion is that The Ice Palace had to be destroyed for any
or all of these reasons...
   
             1)   It's locations was common knowledge, and the keen
                  gadgets inside could be used and abused by the next
                  Lex Luthor to come along.
 
             2)   The 3 baddies were trapped inside, and were thus
                  imprisoned/destroyed in the explosion.
 
             3)   The Superpower drainer was destroyed, so it would
                  no longer tempt Superman to become mortal, nor
                  endanger his powers when the world again needed him
                  in the TaDa Nick of Time. 
 
I still feel sorry for poor Lois though. Better to have loved and lost and
remembered about it that to have been brain-drained.
