 * __Lex Luthor__**

Lex Luthor is a supervillian who appears in comic book published by DC comics. He is the foe of Su perman and was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. In earlier comics and movies Luthor is described as a powerful, evil scientist of many technological powers. His goal is destroying Superman, in order to achieve world domination. Luthor has traditionally lacked superpowers or a dual identity. In newer depictions, such as in Smallville (modern day show of Superman’s teenage years), he is portrayed as more of a corrupt business man than an evil scientist. The show suggests that Luthor and Superman once had a friendly relationship which turned sour. Luthor has full knowledge of Superman’s weakness, kryptonite. “ It's kryptonite, Superman. Little souvenir from the old home town. I spared no expense to make you feel right at home.” Superman, 1978. The quote shows Luthors hate for Superman and his need to defeat him at any costs.
