Lex Luthor also kidnapped and tortured Lana Lang and drugged Clark Kent's parents just to learn Superman's secret identity. When told Superman was Clark Kent he laughed( because it made no sense to him that somebody with superpowers would pretend to be a mere human)and fired his assistant who proved it.
Pksoze Exactly. He can't accept it. It's like the Riddler in Arkham Knight. Batman is unmasked on live television, but Riddler can't accept it. It all adds up, but he can't accept it. He won't accept that Bruce Wayne has been outsmarting him all these years. Not the pamper socialite.
@@caffeinefree9537 oh there was a reason. It was to spite the school administration for not allowing him to enter his fission powered toaster into the science fair. True story.
Lex is an interesting character. We're talking about a man who gained god-like powers and all he had to do to keep them was not to use them to harm another. Cancer, world hunger, crime in its entirety...with a thought, he could make it go away, so long as he was peaceful. He barely considered it before attacking Superman and losing it all.
Some people are just huge assholes. They can have everything in the world and still be jealous of someone they perceive as better off. It's kind of fascinating in a sad way.
Remember that time that Lex Luthor built a computer to figure out who Superman was, and it concluded that Clark Kent was Superman, so he dismissed it as somehow broken because there was no way Clark Kent Could possibly be Superman in his eyes? That was awesome. Looks like Luthor's real worst enemy is his own hubris.
Lex curing cancer to gain supermans trust that's dumb for so many reasons. Prankster getting a copyright on the English language so nobody can write anything without paying him. Captain boomerang throwing a boomerang at a speedster after talking and explaining what he is doing first.
HAROUT MARASHLIAN Especially when you consider his reasons. He simply wants to be lauded as a hero like he was in Forever Evil. The only people he cares for outside of himself is his sister (to a degree, as he hid her away when he failed to cure her disability) and Bizarro (or B-Zero). A sociopathic superhero is a rarity, but having one in the League? That's a new take, which can be hard to come by in comics.
HAROUT MARASHLIAN Businessman Lex is the scariest version ever. Adored by millions, untouchable, and still a misogynistic, murderous, egotistical son of a bitch. Way better than him having a set of Apokalips armour.
Kryptonite green. :) That's actually pretty amusing scene just for how the Senator reacts. He is thrown so off guard and from that point on just gives Lex whatever he wants.
MrGladBEASTftw Let's rephrase. Peter discovered this fact when trapped in Otto's body and accessing his memories. In other words, Peter saw, heard, and felt the experience from Otto's point of view.
he put all eight arms into each of spiderman's orifices. Yes, for some orifices he used two arms simultaneously. Spiderman was like "Ach ja, stimmt! Ach ja! Ach ja!"
Batman: "I watched helplessly as a man shot my parents, joker killing my robins, and bane breaking my back." Superman: "Lex killed me twice before he destroyed metropolis AND my revived krypton!" Batman: "...did I mention the scarecrow revealed my secret identity leading me to fake my death?" Superman: "oh gee! You were forced to take a vacation after all your enemies were locked up for good!" Batman: "Least I'm rich." Superman: "can you fly?" Batman: "Fuck you!!"
People say Eisenberg's Luthor was "stupid" to make Doomsday, a creature that could destroy the world. In the comics, Lex puts the world's safety at risk all the damned time. It wasn't just Imperiex or the comet that could have wiped out humanity. He also... *spoiler alert* ...brought Doomsday back to life and released it on a major American city, just like in "Batman v Superman". So, yeah, Lex is a genius who ignores rationality and common sense in his quest for power and the death of Superman.
most of the list is good but the fact that you don't have the end of Superman/Batman Generations on here is Criminal. Lex manipulates Supes son into killing his daughter, on her wedding day no less, than kills his son after he does the job. Then as Supes goes after him, Lex encased himself and Lois in a force field and strangled her in front of Superman before teleporting away. That is easily the worse.
Lex killed him 3 times. In the DC Universe Online trailer, he kills Superman with a Kryptonite-tipped spear just as Brainiac attacks. It was undone with time travel, but it's considered canon.
I know this technically wasnt done TO Spuerman, but he had to watch. There was one point where Lex showed Supes his paralyzed sister, injected her with something that made her able to walk again, then injected her with something that made her paralyzed yet again. Why, you may ask? Simply to show Superman that he could do it.
This beat they use in the background of a lot of videos always cracks me up. It was also used as the beat for a cringy rap song about working out that went viral in germany for a few weeks in late 2014.
A ''10 Worst Things Lex Luthor Has Done'' Would have been much better. He has done some evil shit that hasn't even been aimed at Superman (Directly anyway). Do Sinestro or Black Adam next please...
WhatCulture Comics I keep watching your entertaining videos. I've finally subscribed. I don't know what took me so long. Peace and love! One more thing, LEX LUTHOR IS A MAJOR A HOLE!!!!!!!!
Lex had a sister who had a incurable disease that left her paralysed, mute, and in constant pain. Superboy (who is half clone of Super-man and Lex) wanted to prove that Lex isn't all evil, and challenged him to cure his sister. Lex cured his sister, and she began to walk and speak..for about 3 minutes. Lex reveals that the cure was only temporary, and he will happily give his sister a permanent one if Superman kills himself.
Lex doesn't even care about his family. He cured his younger sisters sickness and then gave it right back just to prove to Superboy that he could kill Superman.
You know, the Lexor and "Luthor hero of earth/curer of cancer" things are very interesting because they show a great character study of someone with the potential to be a great hero which he doesn't fulfill due to arrogance and pettiness.
My favorite thing Lex Luthor did (even though it wasn't to superman) was in the 52 series when he gave a bunch ppl superpowers and then on new years eve, where these ppl were flying around, right at midnight, shut the powers off to watch a bunch of ppl fall from the sky to their deaths. It was beautiful.
MrGladBEASTftw He very much did. He acted like a raving lunatic. Lex hates Superman and it may drive him to do irrational things, but the nonsense coming out of his mouth in that movie was so very out of character. Even the idea of him accepting that Clark Kent is Superman is out of character. Lex's entire perception of Superman is that of an alien pretending to be human, including falsifying emotions. He can't even imagine Superman wanting to hide his abilities in any form. The idea that Superman can be some bumpkin reporter from some hick town is ridiculous.
Jake Tyler The whole portrayal by Eisenberg was annoying and crazy. I didn't buy him as Lex one bit. He was too manic and bizarre. Whether that's by script, directing , acting or all 3, all I know is his version is the least like Lex Luthor I've ever watched.
noisepollution He isn't. He lost the ability to ever make that claim when he wiped out the entire Corp in a mad frenzy that was only later retconned into not entirely being his fault.
Look At My Face! It would be so cool for them to make a movie like public enemie or something similar. Seeing a evil lex luthor president resonates strongly with our present times...
how about top 10 horrible things that each super has indirectly caused to happen them, like as a result of saving a life or sacrifice they have to make
I think, I think I finally did it, I found lex Luther's motivation, when lex was growing up he was poor as dirt, so he worked as hard as a mule to make his company and become the C.E.O of it, he earned the city's love, than here comes some Boy Scout in tights who gets the city's love just for fixing a few things and stopping a few villains, Lex wants to kill superman so he can the glory he used to get from the city, quite sad if you think about it.
Metallo is pronounced (meh-tahl-lo) and dont say its because youre english, because Malcolm Mcdowell was able to pronounce it all the time in Superman Animated.
Lex Luthor also kidnapped and tortured Lana Lang and drugged Clark Kent's parents just to learn Superman's secret identity. When told Superman was Clark Kent he laughed( because it made no sense to him that somebody with superpowers would pretend to be a mere human)and fired his assistant who proved it.
That is some next level savagery
Pksoze Exactly. He can't accept it. It's like the Riddler in Arkham Knight. Batman is unmasked on live television, but Riddler can't accept it. It all adds up, but he can't accept it. He won't accept that Bruce Wayne has been outsmarting him all these years. Not the pamper socialite.
To be fair, Arkham Riddler is isn't too bright
Aaron Leandre as much intellect as clay face
So he seeks to learn which mere human he pretends to be, just to laugh that he pretends to be a mere human. That's just mean.
#11:He took forty cakes.

It was Superman volume 2 #2, February 1987.

could you guys do a Dr. Fates origin video? i think it would be an interesting subject ^^

How is Lex even a threat to Superman, let alone his arch enemy. Must he a smart man
He's messed-up enough to be a real person
I wish Lex Luthor had Twitter.
stole cakes.....hmm ok maybe me and lex need to link up
The best part about that is he is rich, which means he did it just to be a dick.
he did when he was a kid and poor
Is it just me, or when he does the hashtag thing it’s hilarious😂😂
when Ben start saying "I suppose you could call him a" shit is about to get real!! hahahahaha!! one of the best part of whatculture.
What about the time Lex gave everyone Superpowers then took them away out of spite causing hundreds to die.
