Lex Luthor

Alexander "Lex" Luthor is a DC Comics supervillain who appears in American comic books. Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster invented the character. Lex Luthor first appeared in Action Comics issue 23 in 1986. He has remained Superman's archenemy ever since.


From the 1960s to the early 1980s, Lex Luthor was portrayed as a selfish and egotistical mad scientist. Since the late 1980s, he has been presented as LexCorp's power-crazed CEO. He wants to eliminate Superman from the world, ostensibly because he sees him as a menace to humanity, but in truth, he envies Superman's popularity and power. Given his high profile as a supervillain, however, he has often come into conflict with Batman and other superheroes in the DC Universe.


Lex Luthor is a normal human with no innate superpowers, but he possesses above-average intelligence, an inventive genius, and a strong knowledge of science and technology. He uses his Warsuit on occasion, a mechanized suit of armor that grants him greater strength, flight, superior weaponry, and other skills. While Lex is most often depicted as a supervillain allied with other villains such as Metallo, Parasite, and Bizarro, and frequently leading DC supervillain teams such as the Legion of Doom, he has also been portrayed as an antihero who will team up with Superman and other heroes when the situation demands it. The character was ranked 4th on IGN's list of the Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time and as the 8th Greatest Villain by Wizard on its 100 Greatest Villains of All Time list.
