## Background

### 1996 - 2012: Lena Luthor

Lena was born to business mogul Lex Luthor & Markovian heiress Erica del Portenza. Sadly, her mother died during childbirth leaving her to be raised solely by her father. When Lena was still young, her father took over control of LuthorCorp after his father's death. She was known to be an exceptionally gifted child even as a toddler.

In addition to being doted upon by her father, Lena grew close with her dad’s employees like Mercy Graves & his other assistants over the years. When she was six, her father married Lana Lang after the two dated for the past few years. In addition, she also gained a younger stepbrother Lewis. She understood Lana wasn't her mother but began to consider her as such in time with Lana treating her as her own daughter.

Lena & Lex would often play chess, talking about their days when she visited him at work. Their chess playing led to her being at the top of the leaderboards on a number of online chess sites. Lena was very intelligent, something noted by her father early in her life. He nurtured her raw intelligence & helped her in any way she could. Not wanting her to go the public schools in the city, he instead enrolled her at Gotham Academy & had his security take her there everyday across the ferry. After skipping multiple grades, Lena would finish high school at sixteen then go to attend Ivy University.

### 2012 - 2017: Lena Luthor

At college, Lena tried everything but eventually settled on focusing on Engineering. Due to her high level of intelligence & her natural gift for computers, Lena became highly proficient to the point where she could hack high level security systems. In her program, she became close friends with two other teenagers, Jacqueline Pemberton & Velma Dinkley. All three women understood the burden of living up to their parents' expectations & status, leading to them forming a close friendship that consisted of studying & venting. They also became a permanent study group despite Lena furthering her studies in computers while Jackie & Velma went into biology & chemistry.

Lena felt that she truly had real friends & lived a blissful life until her father was the victim of an assassination attempt when she was eighteen. Seeing his life flash before their eyes, Lena debated on dropping out of school but Lex forbid it. She later graduated with a Doctorate in Engineering at the age of 20 then got additional degrees in Information Systems & Computer Science shortly after.

Due to her dad's standing as the Owner of LuthorCorp & then later becoming the UN Secretary General, Lena has always been in the media. She was even seen as somewhat of a socialite, though she constantly rejected that label. She has a small but dedicated security detail that shadows her every move but she later got rid of them.

### 2017 - Present: Interface

It's kind of hazy what the exact order of events are but essentially, Lena became friends with Rocky Ballantine while she was employeed for her father Lex. Through this friendship, she met Sonia & became reacquainted with Kathy. Lena essentially became the plus one to all their outings but the trio frequently cancelled on her saying there was a family issue or all three just happened to be busy for different reasons on the same day.

While most people disagreed with them considering her role as the daughter of Lex Luthor, the three revealed their secret identities to Lena after she grilled them one night. It was a shock to hear but one of positivity. Wanting to do more than just simply inherit LuthorCorp one day, she offered her computer & engineering services to the team. She began frequently working with Rocky, using this work to improve her hacking skills & ability to multitask on multiple mainframes. Though she uses the name Interface over the comms, Lena does not consider herself a hero or anything of the sorts. Just a person who wants to do some good in a world full of crap.

In addition to become the unofficial member of their team, Lena also became the official girlfriend of Sonia after months of flirtation finally caught up to them after a late night mission.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Genius Level Intellect:** Lena is a highly intelligent individual, a recognized hallmark quality of the Luthor family & due in big part to her eidetic memory. She finished high school at sixteen then got her Doctorate's then two Bachelor's degrees after. She is even able to beat her prodigious father in chess occasionally. In addition to her three degrees, she has extensively studied in the areas of Mathematics, Physics, Forensic Sciences & Chemistry.
	+ ***Business Management*:** As the heir to LuthorCorp, Lena has been taught in business management by her father. Though not her expert set of skills like computers & technology, Lena is fully capable of handling business tasks & is considered the perfect candidate to take over by the board.
	+ ***Chemistry:*** While Lena will not label herself a master chemist, she is skilled in the basics due to listening Jackie & Velma study all through the night.
	+ ***Computer Operation*:** Lena is a beast when its comes to computers. She's one of the best hackers & operators. She also has a keen skill of being able to multitask very well when dealing with multiple mainframes or systems. She once broke into her school's mainframe in high school when she was fourteen just for hell of it. She could've easily got another doctorate in a computer based subject but decided against it.
	+ ***Eidetic Memory*:** Lena has an eidetic memory, allowing her to mentally recall everything she has ever seen over the course of their entire lives. This had helped her a lot with getting her degrees & studying multiple skills with no problem.
	+ ***Engineering*:** Though computers is her first love, engineering is one of Lena's favorite subjects. It helped having two best friends who were interested in the exact same thing.
* **Martial Arts:** Her father put her in defense class when she was a kid due to his association with certain groups. She got better after training with Sonia.
* **Firearms:** She was taught how to use & dismantle firearms by Sonia.

### Weaknesses

* **Family:** Her family is a hill that she's willing to die on. While her stepmother & brother are clear of any scandal, the same cannot be said for her father. However, Lena will defend him until her last breath & commend him for being a great father, husband & man.

* After getting in trouble for breaking into her school's mainframe, her father got her out of trouble.
* She accompanies Lex to many of his meetings as she's expected to lead LuthorCorp one day.
* Lena came out publicly on her birthday. Because she previously dated men, the media tried to say her being a lesbian as a phase & trying to get in with a "trend."

#### Relationships

* She truly considers Lana Lang to be her mother & refuses to call her stepmother.
* She is close with all the members of the Three Aces.
	+ Sonia found her attractive from the moment she saw her & immediately tried her hand. The two stuck to flirting *forever* until a late night mission led to the two confessing their feelings for one another.
	+ She knew of Kathy as they're both socialites in nearby cities with infamous fathers.
	+ She met Rocky after she began working for LuthorCorp. The two became close friends & when Lena began helping the team, they were usually together as neither was in the field. They make nerdy jokes that not many other people get.
* She is very close with Jacqueline Pemberton & Velma Dinkley. They don't see each other as much but text all the time.
* Because Terri's father is good friends with Lex, she & her brother Terrence became good friends with Lena, Lewis & their cousin Nasthalthia when she came to visit.

## Notes

* Lena Luthor is introduced in *Superman* Vol 2 #131 as Lex & Erica's daughter. Brainiac later downloads himself into her mind.
* Lena being a genius is a kind of a nod to her merging with Brainiac in the comics.
* Her middle name is a nod to Lillian Luthor, Lex's mother in the *Arrowverse.*
* Originally, Lena was a member of The Team & Conner's identity was well knwon to the Luthor family. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized it would be way to easy to figure out the whole Superman Family's identity if that was the case. Also, Lena being a member of a superhero team didn't seem likely considering who her father is. So instead, I settled for her working closely with the Three Aces under the guise of her visiting her detective girlfriend & hanging out with her two friends.
