“ You know what happens when you take on Lex Luthor? The same thing that's gonna happen to Superman! „ ~ Lex Luthor “ But with him around you're a parody of a man. A duller, a cripple. Next to Superman, even Lex Luthor's greatness is overshadowed! „ ~ Lex Luthor in All Star Superman

Alexander Joseph Luthor is a supervillain appearing in comics published by DC Comics.

Background

Lex Luthor was born and raised in the poverty stricken area of Metropolis called the Suicide Slum, raised by abusive parents, with the desire to better himself. As a teenager, one night, he dismantled the breaks in his parent's car, causing them to die in a car crash. Lex then used his parent's life insurance to get himself out of the Suicide Slum and start his own business, known as LexCorp, which practically ran all of Metropolis. Though everything changed once the Man of Steel arrived. Lex saw Superman as a threat to humanity, fearing that humanity would grow too reliant on this alien savior and stop thinking for themselves. Despite being only human, Lex dedicated his life to removing Superman from the equation, even going as far as to form his own organization of supervillains known as the Legion of Doom.
