@laughingbatman: The way, I figured it, he was "good" as far as morality on his Earth went. The thing was, he wasn't a complete opposite of himself like others were. Where Hal is brave and strong on our Earth and a sniveling coward on Earth-3, Lex was still good, but also greedy, arrogant, and power-hungry just like his Prime counterpart.
If he apparently stole the powers of Mazahs, why would he stop there? He took down another one named Blood Hawk apparently. But again, why stop there? There's Ultraman, Johnny Quick, and Deathstorm too.
I would say, I wouldn't be surprised if Luthor was actually more in the line of a "Fallen Hero" or "Tragic Villain." While he may have wanted to do good, his own nature was something he couldn't get over, and from there, it's like they say. "You either die a hero," so on and so forth.
