Alexander Luthor (Earth-1955)

"I believe there’s something inherently dangerous when something real becomes mythic. Because when faced with a myth we can’t win. So the mythic must be exposed for what it is. So we can believe in ourselves. Because it’s only what’s in us…the drive to be mythic…that matters."

Maniacal and lustful for power, Lex joined dangerous entities along his way to destroy Superman and subsequently the Justice League, such as the Legion of Doom and the Masters of Evil.
