Message: <blockquote data-quote="Klaus" data-source="post: 2049906" data-attributes="member: 607">Plus Lex could do what he did in the comics: blame it on his evil clone! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Quick recap: At first Luthor was an overweight bald man. He started using a kryptonite ring to keep Superman at bay. The K-radiation cost him his hand (had to use a robotic replacement). Afterwards, Lex found out that the K-radiation gave him cancer, and he was doomed to die. Lex faked his own death in plane crash and had his scientists tranfer his preserved brain to a newly clone body: younger, healthier, stronger and hairier (no lie!). The Lex-clone presented himself as Lex Luthor II, and posed as a benefactor, inheriting Lexcorp and even dating Supergirl (!!!). During the "Fall of Metropolis" storyline, Luthor II went mad (his body was decaying, like the bizarre Superman-clone had decayed before) and went trigger happy with missiles over Metropolis and Superman. He was put on trial. But Lex struck a deal with DC's Mephisto-like demon Neron (during "Underworld Unleashed") and sold his soul in return for a healthy new body (albeit bald). He convinced the world that he was Luthor I and that Luthor II was an evil clone, and got back Lexcorp and a clean record.Afterwards, he went on to become President, with Pete Ross as VP. Recently, things went downhill for good ol' Lexy.</blockquote>
