The title says it all. Say something about his greatness, post some of his best moments or whatever. He's not Superman's greatest enemy for no reason, so let's give this guy some respect.
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 Luthor Respect Thread
my God, i cant believe no one cares about lex. HE'S SUPERMAN'S ARCH ENEMY.
he is his complete opisite.
supes is an alien, has powers, is invincible, uses his phiscal powers to do things, helps others, reports the truth, isn't rich, cares about the law and is a humanitarian.
Lex is a human, he has no powers, he is mortal, uses inteligence, helps himself, spins lies, is a billionaire, doesn't care about the law and doesn't care about people
Lex wants to be a God and is devoid of humanity, Superman IS A GOD raised by men
Lex had to claw his way from the cutter to get his power, Superman was born with it
Lex has no friends or family and is closed off, Superman is surounded by loved ones
Lex has is rightous in private, but modest in public, Superman is modest as Clark, but rightous as Superman
Lex is inferiour in every way to superman yet he continues to beat (or nearly beat) him constantly
He is the perfect opisite. yet he gets no respect
Anyone interested in helping me revamp this?
I can get scans from the Black Ring storyline, if you want. The entire thing is just one big Luthor respect thread, really (well, at least up until the end).
