But he never got to finish, because Superman answered Sam's distress call at just that very moment. Superman rocketed through the Department of Defense's wall, bodied Luthor and dragged him outside. However, Clark quickly realized Luthor wasn't home; the suit was an empty shell, being piloted from afar. From the safety of a distance, Luthor muttered, "To hell and back, General. Later, Luthor continued to pursue Kryptonite for his plot to stop Superman once and for all. However, his robotic assistant soon made it clear there was no more Kryptonite left on Earth, which meant he had to proceed without it.
As he reflected on his mission, Luthor flashed back to his own Earth. He dredged up memories of a battlefield, where Sam led the charge against an unseen enemy armed with lasers. Luthor himself fought in the trenches alongside the general, who called for backup amid the chaos: "This is hellfire! Engaging hostile ammo bots! Suddenly, the sky crackled with thunder. Luthor's platoon stopped shooting, and the return fire halted.
Everyone turned slowly to look up, only to see Superman hovering high above them wearing a scowl and a black suit. He immediately trained his laser vision on the trench, killing the men as they scrambled to get away from the deadly blast. In the process, Sam threw himself at Luthor, shielding him with his own body and allowing him to escape unharmed.
However, at the beginning of Season 7, Lex is released when somebody paid by Lionel confesses the crime and it's later revealed Lana was alive and left a stand-in clone to forge her death. Lana had also stolen 10 million dollars from Lex, which he later allows her to keep for good as part of a divorce settlement.
Since then, Lana's been obsessed with exposing anything bad about him. While searching for the truth about his past, Lex kills Lionel by pushing him out of his office window at LuthorCorp in season 7, saying no one will even remember his name.
Lex then drags "Alexander" a personification of himself as a child who acts as his conscience to the fireplace and burns him, saying "You make me weak! This device is somehow a necessity in controlling "the traveler," Clark Kent. In the season seven finale, Lex learns of the Fortress of Solitude from Brainiac, who is posing as Kara. Lex travels to the Fortress, taking the device with him, under the belief that he is fulfilling his own destiny to save mankind from "The Traveler".
A confrontation between the two ensues and Lex activates the device, causing the Fortress to collapse with Clark and Lex both inside. Lex would survive, only to be killed in an explosion in Season Eight.
LX on Smallville. Knowing that his death could result from his visit to the Fortress, Lex - through Project Cadmus - had multiple clones of himself made. Each of the clones had accelerated growth factors which led them to become unstable. One clone, LX-3, was more dangerous than the others and was driven by Lex Luthor's memories. Imperfect, the scientists of Cadmus locked the clone away. However, it later escaped and murdered the scientists and all of the remaining clones except LX Clark was able to do both and LX-3 died soon after.
LX survived under the care of Tess Mercer. In time LX, who called himself Alexander, started to remember Lex's memories and became more and more like his predecessor. Eventually he would escape from Tess' custody and located Lionel Luthor a duplicate from a parallel Earth. Together they decided to eliminate Clark and Tess; however, LX entered into a new stage of the cloning process and turned against Lionel.
Losing the memories of Lex, LX began to show Kryptonian traits. Lionel attempted to gain control over his "son" once again through Red Kryptonite , but Clark was able to free him from Lionel's control. LX would soon afterward take on the name Conner Kent. As he stood over the site he wished for Lex's return, saying he would give anything to have his son back. Seconds later Darkseid appeared, presumably, to accept the offer to return Lex to his father.
Months later, Lionel kidnapped Tess so that he could take her heart and give it to Lex to revive him from death. It turns out that after the explosion caused by Oliver Queen, the remains of Lex was taken by Cadmus Labs and they begun turning him into a composite clone to ressurect him taking cloned organs and body parts and fusing them to the original body. For the next two years Lex was whole again except for the scientists could not fully duplicate a perfect heart.
After Tess shot Lionel, Lionel made a deal with Darkseid: For Darkseid reviving Lex, Lionel gave him his body and soul only wanting his son to live on. With Darkseid's help Lex received his heart and returned to life. Lex Luthor then visited Clark Kent at the burnt down mansion telling him of their future and that he has accepted his destiny and now it was his turn for evil needs its opposite.
Lex then later returned to Luthorcorp and after killing his half sister Tess Lutessa Lena Luthor , Tess left behind a memory wiping toxin that destroyed his memories of his immoral life. Lex Luthor with no memory walks to the window to see Apokolips heading towards Earth with the Luthorcorp sign breaking down and reading Lexcorp.
Seven years later it is shown Lex wearing his white suit and black gloves has become the President of the United States.
Lex will appear as a recurring character in Season 4 of Supergirl with Jon Cryer portraying him. Luthor in Superman: The Animated Series. Luthor in this version was again a corrupt businessman like his Post-Crisis comic book counterpart, and again his jealously and hatred of Superman ultimately brought down his empire. After he was revealed as a criminal and lost his business empire in the first season of Justice League , his characterization turned more toward the original conception of the character as a criminal genius obsessed with destroying Superman.
Later, Luthor's character turned in an opposite way of his comics counterpart; he was pardoned after helping the Justice League defeat their alternate evil counterparts, the Justice Lords , with a power disruptor and implied to the press that he was thinking of going into politics.
It was later revealed to be a ruse to enrage Superman. Luthor was revealed to be financially backing Project Cadmus , a shadow government organization devoted to stopping the League if they ever turned on the earth. Luthor then betrayed them, hi-jacking the League's space-based laser to take out Cadmus leaving the impression the League had attacked the United States government.
While attempting to place his mind in a duplicate of A. At this point, it was revealed that Brainiac had possessed Luthor, secretly controlling his actions. After the two merged into a more complete being using alien nanotechnology, Luthor and Brainiac attempted to destroy the world but were stopped by The Flash.
Luthor returned later to join the Legion of Doom , but, ironically, not as the leader Gorilla Grodd was the leader.
Luthor agreed to join in order to obtain the last remaining piece of Brainiac, which Grodd has in his possession. Luthor is obsessed with rebuilding Brainiac, as what is left of him is inhabiting Luthor's mind, giving him a sort of multiple personality disorder. It is unclear to the viewer, however, if Brainiac really exists and inhabits his mind or if he is simply a mad figment of his imagination. Later on, using the failure of Grodd's silly masterplan to turn all humans into apes as pretext, Lex Luthor shot Gorilla Grodd and took over as leader, and imprisons Grodd.
After taking over as leader of the Legion, Luthor returned to his obsession of trying resurrect Brainiac. Using the power of the Legion headquarters, Luthor spent tireless hours trying to bring a fragment of Brainiac back online. After nearly destroying the headquarters' power supply, Luthor had Tala use her magic to garner any information from the fragment. Tala shows Luthor a vision of Brainiac's base seen in the episode "Twilight" before its destruction and Luthor reconfigures the Legion base into a spaceship with hyperspace capability.
During the journey to the remnants of Brainiac's base, Tala frees Gorilla Grodd and he mounts an insurrection against Luthor with fellow Legion members. The battle climaxes with Luthor fighting Grodd in hand-to-hand combat. Just as Grodd moves to use his telepathic power on Luthor, Luthor uses his belt to take over Grodd's mind.
Afterwards, Luthor forces Grodd into an airlock and jettisons him into space. The Legion, back under Luthor's power, returns to their task of resurrecting Brainiac. Luthor hooks Tala up to a machine, reminiscent of Brainiac's machine used against Superman, to transmutate remnants of Brainiac's base back into a working body of Brainiac.
Before Luthor begins the process, Metron stops time and appears to him warning that he may be unleashing something that will affect the past, present and future. Luthor, still obsessed with becoming a god, ignores him and the process begins.
However, although the process is successful, Luthor ends up resurrecting Darkseid , who attempts to destroy the Legion. The remnants of the Legion, under Luthor, go to the Justice League Watchtower to warn to the superheroes of the threat and insist on a temporary alliance in the defence of the planet.
With the aid of the New God Metron, Luthor manages to acquire the Anti-Life Equation long sought by Darkseid, and uses it on the lord of Apokolips, apparently sacrificing his own life in the process.
Batman, however, believes that the two survived, since no bodies were found in the area. Lex Luthor was also featured in the direct-to-video animated movie Superman: Brainiac Attacks. Lex's character designs from Superman: The Animated Series , his job as a criminal businessman and his bodyguard Mercy Graves were used for this movie, but this version of Luthor acted similar to Gene Hackman 's Luthor from Superman: The Movie.
He constantly spouted one-liners and at one point threw a Tiki Torch Luau to celebrate Superman's presumed death. Lex Luthor was voiced by Powers Boothe in this movie. Luthor's role in this movie had him forming an alliance with Brainiac this is also treated as the first meeting between the two.
He placed Brainiac in a new robot body and sent him to destroy Superman. Afterwards Brainiac would pretend to be defeated by Luthor and then leave Earth to conquer a different planet, while Luthor would appear as a hero to a people and then continue his quest to rule Earth. Naturally this plan failed, and it finish with luthor being defeated by Brainiac and an usual "Luthor under investigation" ending.
Lex Luthor will feature in the direct-to-video animated movie Superman: Doomsday. Lex's character design is similar to those seen in Superman: The Animated Series , but appears to be more along the lines of his Silver Age "evil genius" appearance than his more recent characterisation as a corporate tycoon.
Luthor will be voiced by James Marsters in this movie; Marsters also portrayed villain [[Milton Fine a. Brainiac in the fifth and seventh season of Smallville. In the film, Luthor is indirectly responsible for the release of the creature Doomsday. Upon discovering that the latent radiation from the Earth's core can be harnessed for energy purposes, LexCorp has been illegally drilling into the earth. When Luthor's miners stumble upon Doomsday's alien spacecraft while digging, they accidentally damage it and awaken Doomsaday from his long slumber.
After the creature slaughters the mining team, Luthor orders his personal assistant, Mercy Graves , to cover up his involvement. Following Superman and Doomsday's epic battle, Superman lies dead, and Luthor is free of all culpability. Rather than be pleased, Luthor is incensed that the evidence crediting him to Superman's death has been destroyed; he lashes out by killing Mercy with a handgun, despite the fact she was only following his orders.
Luthor then robs Superman's body from his grave with the intention of creating genetic clones of him. The cloned Superman is more violent than the original, killing crooks, threatening civilians, and generally behaving like a public menace. Meanwhile, the real Superman's corpse disappears from LexCorp during an electrical blackout.
Luthor is visited in his office by Lois Lane , who says she feels distant from her relationship with Superman not knowing that he is a clone. Luthor tries to seduce her and they kiss, but Lois uses a tranquilizer on Luthor and knocks him unconscious; Lois believes he is the one behind Superman's strange behavior. Lois and Jimmy Olsen uncover Luthor's cloning project, but Luthor reappears and tries to shoot them. Fortunately, the cloned Superman has freed himself from Luthor's control and steps in to rescue Lois and Jimmy.
Luthor escapes to a room with red sun beams, similar to Krypton's Red Sun, which will neutalize Superman's powers; he also dons kryptonite gloves, with the intention of beating the insolent clone to death. Instead, the clone traps Luthor in the vault, rips its foundation out of the building, and throws the vault across Metropolis.
Superman never gets sick, he can make fire come out his eyes, he can fly at higher speeds than any man-made aircraft can ever do.
Lex Luthor needs to go to the gym and work until he is sweating to keep fit. He stays fit, and strong without having to lift weights.
Superman has earned the love, and respect of his fellow people without having to ask for it. He stands for the right, and that is what makes an adored figure. But Lex Luthor has to get his hands dirty to achieve his goals.
He is a mortal man, who can only dream about being treat equal to a god. He is jealous. And that is what makes him hate Superman. No matter how hard Lex worked to achieve do good for the broader humanity, he would never receive the same amount of respect as Superman does. Superman can achieve in seconds; what Lex would need years to reach. Lex is a threat to Superman in the sense that he tries to defame him. Lex is aware that he cannot beat Superman using power , so he tries to erase him from the hearts of the inhabitants of Earth.
But he is a god when compared to the mortal inhabitants of Earth. And this is exactly what Lex Luthor tries to use against Superman. He tries to influence people into thinking Superman is a manipulator, there is no space for him on earth, he is an alien.
Think of it this way. Lex Luthor is a good kid. But he decides to bully Superman. But Superman refuses to react because he chooses to do so, even though he can easily knock him out.
