LEX LUTHOR

Alexander Luthor (New Earth)

Powers

Lex Luthor briefly acquired superhuman capabilities as a result of his company-sponsored Everyman Project.

Abilities

Gifted Businessman: Lex Luthor is one of the most shrewd businessmen in the world, a trait that has earned him an immense fortune second only to entrepreneurs like Bruce Wayne and Steve Dayton. Unlike Wayne however, Luthor is not above using cuthroat tactics, unethical practices and illegal operations to maintain the success of his business empire. At the height of Lexcorp's power, Lex Luthor virtually owned every business enterprise in the city of Metropolis.

Seasoned Politician: Lex Luthor's corporate skills applied just as sharply in the political arena as they did in the boardroom. As President of the United States, he groomed the best candidates to serve as his cabinet members and knew the intricacies of bureaucratic politicking as well as any other former Chief Executive. Although Luthor's tenure as president ended in scandal, he successfully guided the nation during the massive alien invasion that came to be known as "Our Worlds At War".

Genius-level Intellect: Enhanced physical and cognitive abilities due to his cloned body's specific genetic design construction. Although Luthor possesses a genius level intellect, his scientific prowess is not as refined as his Earth-One, Earth-Two and Earth-Three counterparts who were able to create artificial lifeforms from scratch, interdimensional travel and functional time travel.

Trained Combatant: Lex Luthor is also trained in hand-to-hand combat, though his personal Amazon fighting instructors consider him a a sub-par combatant with poor form. He has single-handedly fought with Nightwing andBatman. In his fight with Nightwing however, Nightwing had already been knocked off-balance by a gas that rendered him nearly unconscious, while in his fight with Batman he had injected himself with kryptonite-enhancedVenom.

Strength level

In his original body, Lex Luthor possessed the strength level of a middle-aged man who engaged in minimal regular exercise. In his cloned body, Lex possesses the strength level slightly above that of a normal human male who engages in intensive regular exercise. He routinely works out with state of the art bodybuilding equipment, and has hired Amazon warriors to put him through a thorough exercise regiment.

Weaknesses

His own great arrogance, megalomania, jealousy, and ruthlessness. At one point, he even had daddy issues. Luthor's main weakness in many stories is his inability to understand the heroes he fights, such as commenting during his leadership of the modern Injustice Gang that Connor Hawke betraying the gang to side with the League even after everything the Gang had to offer him made no sense to him, as well as his inability to learn Superman's true identity at first simply because he couldn't imagine someone with Superman's power wanting to live a life like Clark's.

Equipment

Luthor has created and used many different advanced technological devices including his battle suit,and he possessed a Kryptonian artifact known as a Sunstone. With it, he was able to locate and take command of an ancient Kryptonian warship once used by Admiral Zod.

Weapons

Orange Lantern Ring and Various devices such as his battlesuit.
