With his world destroyed, he and other heroes without a world-Superman and Lois Lane of Earth-2 and Superboy of Earth-Prime-retired to a pocket dimension to live out their lives in peace. He was helped to adulthood by the mysterious Monitor, under whose tutelage he helped defeat the Anti-Monitor and save The Multiverse. He was genetically altered after passing through the barrier to Earth-1, which caused him to age to adulthood in a matter of weeks and develop mysterious space-warping powers. The son of the greatest hero of Earth-3, Alexander Luthor, and his wife Lois Lane, Alex was the only survivor of Earth-3 in the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Has his own page where tropes relating to him should go. He is easily the most recognisable, and best known member of Superman's Rogues Gallery, and was rated IGN's "4th Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time." Comic book critic Peter Sanderson has described Luthor as one of the few genuine megavillains, whose adventures cross genres, putting him a league alongside Professor Moriarty, Count Dracula, Hannibal Lecter, Doctor Doom, and Darth Vader. He has also appeared in the animated films Superman: Doomsday, and Superman/Batman: Public Enemies.

Luthor has appeared frequently in other media, featuring in video games, the original Superman films, Superman: The Animated Series and Justice League, Superman Returns, and the television series Smallville. In any incarnation, Luthor is driven by his burning hatred of Superman, which is frequently put down to envy over the fact that, no matter how rich Luthor becomes, no matter how much political power he attains, and no matter how hard he schemes, he will never, ever be Superman. He's even starred in his own spinoffs, serving as the Villain Protagonist in Lex Luthor: Man of Steel, and of the " Black Ring" story arc in Action Comics. He has been the leader of the Secret Society of Supervillains and the Injustice Gang, the mastermind of numerous plots against the heroes of Earth, a participant in General Lane's genocide of New Krypton, and briefly, President of the United States of America. He has faked his own death, impersonated his supposed son, revealed himself as one of Superboy's genetic donors, and met Death. He has since gone back and forth in terms of characterization, at times the CEO of LexCorp, at times a Mad Scientist, at times a classic Diabolical Mastermind, and sometimes a combination of all three. In The Dark Age of Comic Books, he was re-envisioned as a Corrupt Corporate Executive who sold the patents for his fantastic inventions to become not only incredibly rich, but the most powerful man in Metropolis, prior to the arrival of a certain hero. In The Silver Age of Comic Books he was a Mad Scientist who spent most of his time behind bars (to the point that his "costume" was a gray prison suit), later adopting a suit of Powered Armor to fight Supes mano a mano. Alexander "Lex" Luthor is easily the smartest human being in the world (a "10th-level intelligence", according to Brainiac), and uses his incredible brainpower to match the Man of Steel's physical might. The Super Villain and Superman's Arch-Enemy.
But no one will ever be able to prove it. You're going to be destroyed and you'll know who's doing it. One day, very soon now, you're going to die, Superman. I'm going to show them you're nothing, Superman. Who is number one! And I intend to remind them, Superman. and they've forgotten who their master is. They've looked at you, with your costume, and your flashy superhuman powers. The people are mine, to nurture, or destroy, as I see fit.
