Lex Luthor

Lex Luthor is Superman's sworn archenemy. If the alien Superman embodies selflessness, Earth's own son Luthor 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.

His talk of empowering the common man is only a cover. Charming, fascinating, and utterly indifferent to the suffering of others, Lex is a true sociopath.

Background
Used by his parents and alienated by his peers, Lex Luthor grew to become a sociopath who continually seeks to use his supreme intellect and skills for power and influence without regard for the pain and suffering he causes. Ever since Superman openly accused Luthor of being a criminal mastermind, Luthor has done everything in his power to discredit and defeat the alien.

Alternate Future
In an alternate future, Lex Luthor was the sole survivor of a war between The Society and the Justice League. However in his moment of victory Brainiac launched an invasion of Earth, which quickly fell without any Heroes or Villians to fight back. Lurking in the shadows, Luthor managed to steal Brainiac's Exobyte technology, which contained the powers of Earth's defeated Heroes and Villians. Traveling back in time the Future Luthor warned the Justice League and Society of Brainiacs plot, and seeded the Earth with the stolen Exobytes to create a new generation of Heroes and Villians. He then disappeared to continue his plan in secret.
