Lex Luthor (Alternate Timeline)

**Alexander Joseph "Lex" Luthor** is a Human supervillain and member of the fallen Secret Society of Super-Villains in an alternate timeline.

## **Origins**

Like his past self, this Lex was born and raised in the Smallville, Kansas to Lionel and Letitia Luthor. He was bullied at school, however was always a gifted student in terms of Science and astrology, as well as believing in the existence of extraterrestrial life. His life is however at home was far from perfect as he had to deal with much of his father's abusive behavior due to his alcoholism. He didn't care for his parents much, however he loved his sister Lena.

Under "Mysterious Circumstances", Lionel Luthor was killed and Lex decided to leave Smallville, cutting all ties with the town he once knew, which also included leaving his sister to live with his aunt. After graduating MIT, Lex founded LexCorp, the aerospace engineering company that eventually became a massive multimillion dollar conglomerate. As a result, he transformed Metropolis into a city of the future, which he looked at as a kingdom.

He later created an underground syndicate to stomp on other competitive companies. Lex's "rule" eventually ended when Superman had made his first appearance in Metropolis and he tried getting the man of steel to work for him. Superman however didn't want any part of his deal. Luthor even went as far as to orchestrate an attack on a public gala which caused him to get arrested. Despite the arrest, Luthor avoided imprisonment and vowed to rid the world of Superman once and for all.

## **Alternate Future**

Because of his hatred for Superman, he and the Secret Society had begun battling Brainiac. With his forces and the remaining forces of the Justice League dwindling, Luthor's hatred of Superman had begun a conflict, resulting in deaths on both sides. Lex managed to drain Superman to the point where he had to fly up to the sun and recharge. Lex however remained on Earth, ordering about the others and eventually battling Wonder Woman.

He tortured Diana to death until Superman heard her screams and headed for him, sending him flying into nearby debris. He ordered Black Adam to kill Superman, however Adam ended up dead due to Superman's heat vision. Luthor continued battling Superman, only to be beaten down once more. Luthor however knew Superman would go to Diana's aid, so he had stuffed her mouth with Kryptonite to weaken him upon exposure. Luthor strolled over to Superman and killed Superman with a Kryptonite Spear just before looking to the sky and witnessing Brainiac's fleet coming into position.

With little choice, Luthor allied himself with what remained of both the JLA and the Secret Society. What was left however was Batman and an Exobyte enhanced villain named Fracture. They managed to seek refuge in the Fortress Of Solitude and created a portal which would be used to bring superpowered Exobytes to the present so the future has a chance against Brainiac. Though Fracture was to go, Luthor however killed him and took the exobytes back, but Batman vowed he would come for him. Despite this, Lex travels back, leaving Batman to battle Brainiac's drones.

Having traveled to his past, Lex explained his reasoning for traveling back and unleashed the exobytes he brought from the future. This is how many beings, including Superwoman obtained their powers.
