Lex is a firm believer of social Darwinism, a narcissist, a sociopath, and before anyone knew it, Superman’s biggest detractor. Lex would have everyone believe he was a handsome, selfless man giving back to all those who helped him, but in truth, he exploits everyone and everything under the sun. So much so, that he actually became the president of the United States at one point. With it, CEO Lex Luthor practically owned Metropolis and much of the world by extension. Name any type of business, and it’s likely Lexcorp was involved in it, directly or indirectly. Situated in DC’s busy and bright Metropolis, Lexcorp was an absolute giant. Using the money they left behind, he started his own company, one that would grow to unbelievable heights: Lexcorp. Fortunately for him, his parents died in a freak accident, one that he was responsible for. Stuck with abusive parents and not much to his name other than his intelligence, he had to get away and start a new life. Lex has many backstories, but he commonly lives a humble and less than satisfying home life. And most importantly, a man burdened with a god complex and an insatiable hate for Superman, the icon of peace and justice across the world. Time to see who would win a Death Battle!Īlexander Joseph Luthor. But without their company, country, or any manipulated underlings or allies to assist them, only one of these maniacal madmen can be shown as superior. Outside the ring, both of these villains have crushed countless under their heels to claw their way to the top. Doctor Doom, the monarch of Latveria and archenemy of the Fantastic Four. Lex Luthor, ruthless businessman and enemy to Superman. When it comes to delusions of grandeur, having a particular superhuman that is a nasty thorn in your side, and a desire to rule over all things because you believe it to be rightfully yours, these two mechanically empowered monsters with wicked god complexes are some of the most ruthless, cunning and utterly unstoppable forces of.well we’d say nature but everything they do is artificial. But when you can create or do anything you want, people will inevitably rise above to stop you, so you do what any totally sane person would do in this instance: build up your forces, point out your target to silence them and take over the world! OF COURSE!Īhem, a-anyway. With money and power-both literal and metaphorical-and also the wisdom of science, even a nobody can become a nightmare. An old tired phrase, but no less fitting for these two tyrants.
