Did I even spell Lex's name right?
Lex Luthor
Character » Lex Luthor appears in 4366 issues.
Lex Luthor, Superman's arch-nemesis, is one of the most brilliant men alive, whose hatred of "interfering aliens" pushes him down the path of a sociopath. Known for his "ends justifies the means" approach to life, his single-minded and often brutal focus puts him at odds with The Man of Steel. Luthor is arguably DC Comics' most iconic villain.
Lex Luther's IQ?
@Iju:
Its ''Luthor'' ;)
I dont know if it ever been said in the comics, but in the Superman movies its said he had an IQ on 200 and that was his retarded version, he seems smarter in the comics.
- He got a perfect score and even corrected two mistakes on the test
- Like Reed, Stark, etc Lex's level of intelligence would not even rate on a standard scale
Probably the smartest human in DC, don't know how that translates in IQ but I bet it would break the scale

Likely this. Everyone's just lucky he has his ego as a handicap.Probably the smartest human in DC, don't know how that translates in IQ but I bet it would break the scale
Luthor has a 10th level intellect. Lower than Brainiac (12th level) but much higher than the Earth average (6th level)
Well, if you're looking for a specific number, IRL it would vary depending on what IQ test Luthor took. There are many, many different tests, and they tend to measure intelligence differently (for example, the Stanford-Binet test will likely produce a different number than the Wechsler-Bellevue test). And, of course, there is the issue that after a certain point tests fail entirely to judge intelligence- if a subject gets a perfect score in a section (or on the entire test itself) you only really know that they exceed the upper limits of the test's ability to judge intelligence.
Mind you, if 150 qualifies you as a genius, then 200 sounds about reasonable for Luthor (IMO).
@osloer: Just a little bit higher than Batman's? I think thats an understement. On a side note: Welcome to comicvine, poozer. Remember the following rules:

I could have sworn it was the combined intellect of all the humans on earth was meant to equal 6 or 7 yet Jor-el's was 8 or 9 and Lex was round 10-12 i believe (he did outsmart brainiac) but i could be wrong
