Lex Luthor

Alexander Luthor, commonly known as Lex Luthor, is is a powerful and influential businessman, and owner of LexCorp, and Superman's sworn archenemy. If the alien Superman embodies selflessness, Earth's own son Lex is selfishness personified. He uses his genius-level intellect and driving ambition only to advance himself and crush others. Even without superpowers, Lex is easily the most dangerous human being on the planet.

Lex believes that rules based on morality are pointless and serve only the weak to hold back the strong. As such he reasons that they do not apply to him due to his superior intellect. He is a true sociopath.

Lex is a member of the council of the Light, designated L-3.

"Everything that exists has a specific nature, and possesses characteristics that are a part of what it is. A is A... And no matter what reality he calls home, Luthor is Luthor."
