    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.

    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.

    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

    I'll just say that if it wasn't for Lex, I'd probably not care much about Superman comics.

    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).

    Intellect

    Official DC power rankings put Lex at the #1 spot for "Smartest person on DC Earth". His intellect is his greatest weapon, and what makes him such a dangerous foe against even S-tier heroes like Superman.

    New 52

    Figures out Batman’s secret identity

    Hacks into the Hellbat armor, the most advanced piece of tech on current DC’s Earth

    Post Crisis

    Cures an incurable disease. Then he gives it back, because he’s a douche. 1, 2, 3, 4

    Bioengineers a human bomb that destroys the planet. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

    Sciences a yellow sun into a red sun just to fuck with Supey. 1, 2, 3, 4

    Engineers a robotic Lois Lane 1. 2

    His androids are so lifelike, Grodd tried to eat one’s head

    Takes out members of the Bat-Family with odorless nerve gas

    Bioengineers Hope, an enhanced human who can harm Superman 12

    Outhacks Brainiac

    Achieves nigh-godhood

    The Warsuit

    Lex Luthor’s weapon of choice, the Warsuit is a high-powered mech/armor suit that gives him enhanced strength, durability, and energy projection, as well as the whole array of Kryptonite themed-gizmos specially geared to take down Superman.

    New 52

    Survives a full-on barrage from Alexander Luthor/Mazahs

    Tanks hits from Ultraman, who was casually shattering Nth metal

    Tanks a speedblitz from a bloodlusted Barry Allen

    Tanks blows from a sundipped Superman 12345

    Post-Crisis

    The suit is made of biometal and can be stored in a briefcase.

    Tanks an attack from Larfleeze

    Snaps Brainiac’s neck

    Staggers Brainiac

    Fights

    Unarmored with prep vs. Batbrats (Post-Crisis)

    Armored with prep vs Brainiac with prep (Post-Crisis)

    Armored no prep vs Larfleeze (Post-Crisis)

    Armored no prep vs Ultraman (New 52)

    Armored no prep vs Alexander Luthor (New 52)
