In a story in the same issue, Luthor creates a city on the sunken <a href="/wiki/Lost_continent" class="mw-redirect" title="Lost continent">Lost continent</a> of Pacifo and populates it with recreated prehistoric monsters he plans to unleash upon the world. Superman thwarts his plans and Luthor is seemingly killed by the dinosaurs he created. Luthor returns in <i>Superman</i> #5 with a plan to place hypnotic gas in the offices of influential people so he can throw the nation into a depression with the help of corrupt financier Moseley. The story ends with Superman defeating him. </p><p>In these early stories, Luthor's schemes are centered around financial gain or megalomaniacal ambitions; unlike most later incarnations, he demonstrates no strong animosity toward Superman beyond inevitable resentment of the hero's constant interference with his plans. Luthor's obsessive hatred of Superman came later in the character's development. </p><p>In Luthor's earliest appearances, he is shown as a middle-aged man with a full head of red hair.

This led to the new Silver Age of Comics and the first DC Comics reboot, with characters across the board being reimagined or having their histories and nature redefined. The earlier Golden Age stories of Superman and Batman were later said to have taken place on <a href="/wiki/Earth-Two" title="Earth-Two">Earth-Two</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Parallel_universe_(fiction)" class="mw-redirect" title="Parallel universe (fiction)">parallel universe</a> that was part of the larger <a href="/wiki/Multiverse_(DC_Comics)" title="Multiverse (DC Comics)">DC Multiverse</a>. </p><p>The Silver Age version of Luthor was introduced in <i><a href="/wiki/Adventure_Comics" title="Adventure Comics">Adventure Comics</a></i> #271 (April 1960), now given the first name "Lex" (later said to be short for Alexis, eventually <a href="/wiki/Retcon" class="mw-redirect" title="Retcon">retconned</a> as Alexander) and an <a href="/wiki/Origin_story" title="Origin story">origin story</a>. Originally hero-worshiping Superboy, teenage Lex Luthor of Smallville is determined to prove he is Earth's greatest scientist by creating artificial life. His recklessness and inexperience causes a fire in his lab and he calls on Superboy to save him. The Boy of Steel puts out the fire but, in the process, accidentally destroys the artificial life form and the years of research notes that led to its creation, while fumes from the chemical fire cause Luthor's hair to fall out. Unwilling to hold himself responsible for the lab fire and the destruction of his own life's work, Luthor decides that Superboy was jealous of his intellect and caused the fire himself. Believing he's been betrayed by his hero and friend, Lex swears revenge. His first attempts at that are grandiose scientific and engineering projects around Smallville to steal Superboy's thunder. When these attempts, for which, unknown to Luthor, Superboy was supportive as consolation that Lex was at least being constructive in his vendetta, each go disastrously awry and force Superboy to intervene while earning the citizenry's scorn, Lex's hate for Superboy only grew in rationalization of his failures.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>This revised origin makes Luthor's fight with Superman a personal one and suggests that if events had unfolded differently, Luthor might have grown to be a more noble person. Luthor's ego preventing him from personal growth and the tragedy that he and Clark could have been a force for good together are played up in various stories throughout the 1970s and 1980s, particularly in <a href="/wiki/Elliot_S._Maggin" title="Elliot S.

To distinguish him from the modern-day Lex Luthor, the original incarnation is shown as having kept his red hair and is retroactively given the first name Alexei. In <i>DC Comics Presents</i> Annual #1 (1982), Alexei Luthor of Earth-Two and Lex Luthor of Earth-One team up. It is shown that Alexei is arguably colder and more villainous, perfectly willing to destroy all of Earth in order to prove his superiority, whereas Lex hesitates to do so because he had no desire to rule a lifeless world and doesn't want his sister to die.<sup id="cite_ref-DCP_Annual_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-DCP_Annual-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Years later, Lex Luthor and the villain Brainiac recruit an army of super-villains during <i><a href="/wiki/Crisis_on_Infinite_Earths" title="Crisis on Infinite Earths">Crisis on Infinite Earths</a></i>, including Alexei Luthor from Earth-Two.

Upon graduating from <a href="/wiki/Massachusetts_Institute_of_Technology" title="Massachusetts Institute of Technology">MIT</a>, Luthor founds his own business, <a href="/wiki/LexCorp" class="mw-redirect" title="LexCorp">LexCorp</a>, which grows to dominate much of Metropolis. </p><p>Luthor does not fully appear in <i>The Man of Steel</i> mini-series until the fourth issue, which takes place over a year after Superman's arrival in Metropolis.

Enraged, the Mayor deputizes Superman to arrest Luthor for reckless endangerment.

In the new history, Luthor is only a few years older than Clark Kent and his family moves to Smallville when he is a teenager. Possibly abused by his father Lionel, and alienated from others by his intelligence and his ignorance of certain social cues and behaviors (he does not understand why gifts are given on birthdays without a promise of payment of some kind), Lex only finds friendship with Clark, impressed by the young man's knowledge though also finding him naive. Luthor discovers <a href="/wiki/Kryptonite" title="Kryptonite">kryptonite</a> meteors in Smallville and uses the radioactive mineral as a power source for his experiments. When Clark sees the machine and feels ill from proximity to kryptonite, Luthor mistakes his reaction to mean the young man doesn't believe in the experiment, that he also thinks Lex is lying or "crazy" as others do. The machine then explodes and Luthor survives but loses his hair as a result of radiation. Years later, his scientific research, largely based on his ideas about alien life, results in a small fortune that he uses to create LexCorp. When Superman appears in Metropolis, Lex is angered the man won't bow to his control and takes it very personally that a powerful alien, the kind of companion Luthor had often hoped for and believed would see him as a peer, instead looks on him with disapproval and moral judgment. This, along with Superman interfering with his criminal agenda and openly disrespecting Luthor in front of the media, motivates Lex to humiliate and destroy the alien hero. </p><p>The initial story arc of the <i><a href="/wiki/Superman/Batman" title="Superman/Batman">Superman/Batman</a></i> ongoing series depicts the fall of Luthor's reign as U.S. president before he finishes his first term of office. In "The World's Finest" (more commonly referred to as "Public Enemies"), a kryptonite asteroid threatens Earth with its incoming impact and intense radiation. Luthor has been secretly injecting himself with a new version of the "super-<a href="/wiki/Steroid" title="Steroid">steroid</a>" Venom (a chemical associated with the Batman villain <a href="/wiki/Bane_(comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Bane (comics)">Bane</a>) mixed with liquified synthetic kryptonite of his own design. While increasing his physical strength and speed, it starts making him irrational and more prone to aggression. Seeing an opportunity with the appearance of the asteroid, Luthor decides to finally end Superman and tells the media that he has evidence the Man of Steel himself is drawing the deadly radioactive rock towards Earth. He offers a billion-dollar reward for the Last Son of Krypton's capture. As these efforts fail and the meteorite is destroyed, an enraged Luthor decides to fight Superman directly, injecting himself with more of the synthetic kryptonite-laced Venom and donning a high-tech warsuit. </p><p>Maddened by the Venom, Luthor admits during the battle that he has no real proof Superman is the cause of the deadly asteroid heading to Earth and reveals he traded the creature <a href="/wiki/Doomsday_(comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Doomsday (comics)">Doomsday</a>, a living weapon of mass destruction, to <a href="/wiki/Darkseid" title="Darkseid">Darkseid</a> in return for weapons during the <i>Our Worlds at War</i> crisis and <a href="/wiki/Apokolips" title="Apokolips">Apokoliptian</a> technology to create a new warsuit, a deal that was done illegally and would be considered immoral by many. After Superman damages his warsuit, Luthor retreats to LexCorp HQ only to discover that Talia has sold the entire company to the Wayne Foundation. Without resources and realizing his confession to criminal acts and conspiring with a hostile power was recorded and broadcast, Luthor flees, now a wanted fugitive.

Wearing it grants Lex great superhuman strength, not equal to Superman but still enough to overpower many of Earth's heroes. The suit can deliver powerful energy blasts and a molecular sheath capable of blocking Superman's body from absorbing energy from solar radiation, meaning his powers will weaken over time. Powered by red solar radiation, the suit can also deliver red solar beams to directly weaken Superman. The suit has other features including advanced sensor systems, a hypnotism weapon, and illusion casting technology. </p><p>The warsuit introduced in 2004 is built with technology from <a href="/wiki/Apokolips" title="Apokolips">Apokolips</a>, granting greater superhuman strength and resistance to injury, a powerful force field, flight, electrical weapons, and a variety of kryptonite-based weaponry such as energy cannons, axes, and a collapsible sword.
