## Biography

#### Early Life

Lena Luthor was born in Metropolis to billionaires Lionel Luthor and Lillian Luthor. She hails from one of the city's wealthiest and most prestigious families. At early childhood, she and her brother Lex Luthor would compete to see who was the smartest.

After her fathers death, Lena was appointed as the new COO of Lexcorp from Lex as he became the new CEO. In May 2020, Lillian Luthor returned to Metropolis to see her kids (little did they know that she tricked Lex into giving her control of Lexcorp). After stopping Lillian and Morgan Edge, Lena officially joined the Superfriends.

#### Leaving Metropolis

4 months after her mothers death, Lena had some trouble with staying in Metropolis as she didn't like dealing with all the crazy. She later moved to Central City. 6 months later, Lena later returned to Metropolis for a brief bit to help the team stop General Zod.

#### Returning home

Two years later, after hearing what her brother has done, Lena decided to return to Metropolis to talk about some sense into Lex. She later decided to stay so, Lex can be saved and rejoined the Superfriends.

#### The Reign Of Darkseid

Lena, Lois and Jimmy went to Lexcorp to enlist Lex's assistance to stop Darkseid's invasion. During the Reign of Darkseid, Lena as well as everyone on Earth-0 except for seven specific heroes became affected by the Anti-Life Equation, only to be freed two weeks later after the Justice League stopped Darkseid.

## Personality

Despite being raised by Lillian, following Lionel's death; Lena is the complete opposite of her half-brother and adoptive mother; whereas they are delusional, egotistical, immoral and murderous, Lena is kind, caring, dutiful, selfless, responsible, loyal, moral and honorable; in short, she is everything a typical person would not expect from a "Luthor". While proud of her family name, Lena is ashamed of their deviated conducts, committed under the Luthor name, that ravaged the known world and is determined to return her company to its former good status and grace by using it to help people - and in so doing, absolve the Luthors of the schism incited by Lex.

## Abilities

* **Genius-level intellect/Great business acumen/Master tactician/Leader:** Lena is highly intelligent, a recognized hallmark quality of the Luthor family, able to often beat her prodigious older half-brother in chess in her toddler years. Later as an adult, her intelligence - which enabled her to impressively master several disciplines, academic and otherwise, to her own credit - was proven enough to be the COO of Lexcorp, overseeing it's daily activities and seeing to its successful rebirth as a legitimately legal multibillion-dollar corporation.
	+ **Master investigator:** Easily one of the more perceptive and astute characters as seen in the series thus far, Lena has proven time and again able to pick up and thoroughly comprehend within mere seconds of observation what most others cannot - and with enough depth in that regard combined with her attained deductive and problem-solving prowess to hopefully come up with potent solutions in the midst of and response to obstructions and difficulties. Lena's scope in this covers a wide range, going from merely deducing the inner workings of a then-foreign technological mechanism, such as security devices.
	+ **Master scientist/Engineer:** Lena was able to help her brother upgrade the Superman Suit with tech. Lex still outshines her but, not in every way.
	+ **Expert computer hacker:** Lena is a highly trained computer specialist and hacker.
