And then casually takes it away from his sister xD

Lex Luthor: Man of Steel He hires Toyman to bomb a jewelry store, but doesn't tell him it connects to a daycare center, 30-60 kids are killed, Toyman becomes the most hated man on the planet. Lex sends his lab-created superwoman, to intercept. In full view of the cheering public and media, she grabs Toyman to take him way up in the air then drops him... And Superman catches him. Give me more of THAT Lex

Lex Luthor's gotta be one of my favorite comic book characters. He's just such a badass! And I think the fact that he's the archenemy of the comic book world's biggest superhero kind of says it all right there! :D

Happy to see Red Son included. For me, it's the best Luthor story (and victory!) ever.

[@devinphillips9704]

I really wish people would stop mispronouncing his name. It's not "Lex Luther." It's "Luthor." Long "o" sound, thōr, like the god of thunder in those other comics.

[@mastermind3034]

one of my favorite character in DC lex Luthor

[@BobJones-rs3wy]

Luthor was the first person in all of fiction to use a nuclear weapon. In fact the U.S. war dept (allegedly) asked DC to put certain stories on the back burner for a time during WWII. Comics, always with their finger on the pulse.

[@isaiahchapman7660]

He wasn't smart enough to not mess with Superman, because Superman threw a meteor at lexcorp!

[@johnstamos4658]

Jeff Bezos is turning in to Lex Luthor, but there’s no Superman to stop him

[@Masonicon]

This is the reason I use Lex Luthor as some that wants to wipe out everything that's more powerful than a normal person from entire Omniverse (other than he let his xenophobia overrides even his ability to found/join any supervillain teams. Let alone his willingness to have superpowers aside from his suit to level playing field between himself and supers at more efficient manner)

[@Graymaven90]

I think you forgot something: What about the time he stole 40 cakes?! I mean, that's as many as 4 tens!

[@richardarriaga6271]

Don't insult Luthor's intelligence with the lesser leaders of the world. If a Luthor existed, he would already control the world since we don't have a Justice League.

Ah yes who could forget immortal bald man in armor that guy was a true hero

Remember when lex thought he outsmarted the batman who laughs.... guess who got the last laugh.... (pun intended) lol

[@wakko4038]

Lex Luthor is a super hero

[@Fanatic_gamergod]

Deep down in the beginning lex meant well... He really just wanted to make the world a better place and was uncomfortable with a alien

[@krel7160]

It wasn't just being uncomfortable with an alien. It was being uncomfortable with humanity's sudden complacency and willingness to accept such an alien as their "defender". In Lex's mind it goes something like this: This alien far surpasses all of us and humanity's greatest physical potentials, and it's benevolent. But what about the next one? What if there's another? What if he goes missing during a greater threat, or, even worse, is brainwashed into serving something which doesn't share his boy-scout tendencies?

[@MrSophire]

Kerl, but deep down that is the excuse he tells himself, Batman is a big ball of paranoia and he trusts him (he has plans to take Superman down if needed and Superman trusts him for that task) If Lex really believed that Superman was a threat he would keep an eye on him and plan when Supes goes crazy or off planet. Lex is just really arrogant and prideful, he has to be the hero.

[@taiteakopyte1286]

How come none of this versions of Lex was shown in the big screens? I'm shocked

[@Keanopro123]

Batman and lex luthor are great warriors without powers

[@theonechillbeing9317]

DC multiverse there are some Earths where Lex Luther is a really nice and chill guy instead of being a greedy sophathic evil bastard with very low morality.

[@mercyprod.4758]

Saw the thumbnails thought it was 47 (Agent47, from the Hitman series). Not disappointed

[@mercyprod.4758]

Kelvin Martinez a plan for everything and knowledge of everything conceivable (especially if it adds a method of angle of hitting a target)

[@ggt47]

(Gasps)Yes!

[@ricardozk]

I'd like to read a comic arch where Lex goes to war with the Joker.

[@jimsweet3608]

"Luthor cures cancer" was actually one of those "imaginary" stories. Superman did NOT come back from the dead. So Supergirl captured Luthor and then she took over for Superman.

[@danielbigham6290]

Superman could kill Lex "by farting in his general direction". I had to pause for several minutes because of laughing so hard. I normally don't like such humor, but that was too funny.

[@EvilLeprechuan]

Actually lex was compatible with the everyman project, the inventor of it, lied to him cause he was afraid of lex getting superman type powers, he ended up offing himself with all his research to get rid of it and stop luthor from getting said powers

[@smithwesson1896]

It's not logical that Luthor would be permitted to live after his first act of mass murder. One person with a bullet could kill him. Heck, the mafia would kill him themselves, as he's as much a threat to them as anyone else....

"Anything less would make him boring" Personal opinion here...but to an extent; "smart" characters, in terms of heroes AND villains are all boring to me already. They're smug, vicious, arrogant, mean and don't care about who they hurt to make a point...just look at Batman. For me, the only "good genius" is an eccentric one; like Willy Wonka, Frida Kahlo, Pablo Piccaso, Howard Hughes and Ellon Musk
