Articles relating to Lex Luthor and his depictions in fiction. He is a supervillain in American comic books published by DC Comics. Since 1940, he has remained the ultimate nemesis of Superman, embodying the hero’s polar opposite in every way. While Superman represents hope and selflessness, Luthor personifies unchecked ambition and the supremacy of the human intellect over the superhuman. Unlike many supervillains, Luthor is an ordinary human with no superpowers or secret identity. His true strength lies in his unparalleled intelligence, vast wealth, and influence over politics, science, and technology. A genius with an extraordinary aptitude for business and manipulation, he is also proud, calculating, pragmatic, and vengeful—driven by an insatiable thirst for control and devoid of ethical principles. Luthor does not envy superheroes for their abilities but rather for the adoration they receive. He believes that the admiration society bestows upon them is recognition that rightfully belongs to him.
