I'm aware envy consumes my every waking moment. 13L. I know when they mention Galileo or Einstein, or one of these other twits in the same breath as me, I feel a tide of vomit burn the back of my throat, but at least Galileo did something. He wasn't some dopey Venusian catapulted onto this planet just to have the world fawn over him, because his strength illuminates how weak we all really are! So my envy is a calling. It is the sole hope for humanity, because it is what has driven me to annihilating you!

—Lex Luthor to Superman

President Alexander Joseph "Lex" Luthor is a supervillain from DC Comics. He appeared in the 46th episode of Death Battle, Iron Man VS Lex Luthor, where he fought against Iron Man and J.A.R.V.I.S. from Marvel Comics. He returned for the 142nd episode, Lex Luthor VS Doctor Doom, where he fought against Doctor Doom from Marvel Comics.

History

Alexander Luthor grew up in one of the worst places in Metropolis, riddled with poverty. He had a rough life until his parents' death, which he was responsible for, left him with their life insurance. He would use that money to create LexCorp and become one of the richest and most powerful men in the world, with unimaginable charisma and prominence in almost every form of media. Lex enjoyed his reign as a god amongst men until the day Superman made his presence known to the world, an actual god amongst men. While many saw Superman as a hero, Lex saw the opposite, feeling that under Superman, mankind would grow weak and leave everything up to this powerful savior. This resulted in him and the Man of Steel becoming archenemies, pitting Lex's brain against Superman's brawn. Lex would not be above battle, however, and will use a custom-made Warsuit to help even the odds against Superman or any of his superhuman allies.
