Early Life
Lionel Luthor was born in East Germany but moved to the United States at adulthood. At America, Lex founded Luthor Corp, a petrochemical company that guaranteed him millions. He fathered Alexander "Lex" Luthor.

Lionel enjoyed exhibiting his son's intelligence to his friends and employees. However, while Lionel showed the image of a progressive and noble man in public, in his daily live hood he was ruthless. He constantly abused Lex, both physically, and mentally. Lex prayed for a god to save him, but after many years, he became deluded with the concept of family and religion, becoming an Misotheist.

Luthor passed away in December 2nd, 2000, leaving the company for Lex to handle.
