Lex Luthor

Legion of Doom Team Member

Lex Luthor is Superman's arch-nemesis and Earth's leading supervillain. He was the one-time leader and usually the brains of the Legion of Doom.

Luthor occasionally sports a power suit that makes him much more of a physical threat to the  SuperFriends.

He is also the most frequent opponent of the Justice League, returning again and again more times than any other villain.

Character Biography
Lex grew up on a farm in Smallville. He was good friends with Superboy. He aspired to be the greatest scientist in the world.

He did lab experiments in a shack. In his lab he had a shrine dedicated to Superboy. Superboy saw this shack and the shrine and decided to create a new lab for Lex. Lex was so grateful that he began to work on a Kryptonite antidote for Superboy. He had just perfected it when a fire broke out in the lab.

Superboy sees this and without checking inside uses his superbreath to blow out the fire. The vapors were blown onto Lex, causing his hair to fall out. This of course was an accident, but nevertheless, Luthor held a grudge against Superboy, and vowed that one day he would kill him.

In the mid 70's Luthor would form the Supervillain team, the Legion of Doom. By 1979, the Legion had been disbanded. Luthor was doing time at the Metropolis State Prison. Sometime this year, Luthor broke out of prison with help of his sidekick Orville Gump.

By 1984, he was still in hiding and collaborating with Darkseid to destroy the SuperFriends when he could.

By 1988, Lex Luthor is a reformed criminal in the public eye. He now operates his criminal career under a more secret and safe environment, under the protection of his business at LexCorp, and he is now highly respected, except by those who knew him well before, such as Superman and Lois Lane. Although disguised as a legitimate businessman, his main goal hasn't changed: to humiliate and destroy Superman.
