Lex Luthor

Lex Luthor is a villain in the DC Universe and the archenemy of Superman.

Origin
Born in Suicide Slum, Lex Luthor was a child prodigy...one that his abusive parents could easily exploit. Tired of living under their cruelty, Luthor took up a large insurance policy, then killed his parents by tampering with their car breaks and causing their car to crash. In adulthood, he used his money to start his own company, LexCorp, which would go on to become one of the leading industries in the world. When Superman first appeared, Luthor saw that for once, there was someone he could neither control or intimidate, and became determined to get rid of the Man of Steel. Either by himself, or thru hired muscle, Luthor continues his neverending war with Superman.

Powers
Luthor has no powers, save for his incredlby high intellect. His battle suit grants him super strength and durability, supersonic flight, and the ability to project kryptonite energy beams.
