Lex Luthor is one of the smartest individuals in DC Comics, and one of the most devious. His character started in 1940 with Action Comics as a Superman villain. Though he is still one of Superman’s greatest nemeses, he is now a foe for every hero in the DC world. He even is found fighting the entire Justice League.

This is all impressive since Lex Luthor has no powers. That’s right, one of the greatest villains of all time in the comic world is powerless. Not only that, he’s hairless as well. Though he used to have red hair, Luthor became bolded when he was conducting an experiment. It when wrong and the building was set on fire. Superman blew the fire out but in doing so destroyed the experiment and spilled chemicals on Lex making him bold. Lex Luthor vowed revenge.

So why is this hairless, powerless villain so great? Well as I have said in the past posts, powers are not everything. Like a lot of villains and heroes before, Lex gets on this list do to his genius. His brilliants gives him the ability to outsmart the governments of the world, the entire Justice League, the smartest rival villains, and every alien worlds. He was even smart enough to fake his own death and also smart enough to become the president of the United States. He is also a great inventor and can create weapons for his purposes. Lex also own Lex Corp (or Luthor Corp), a billion dollar company. Though the Heroes know he is a villain, Lex is smart enough to not get put in prison, most of the time. He also is smart enough to know Superman’s weakness of Kryptonite though he has yet to kill superman with it.

Any man this clever is indeed most devious. Lex Luthor is one of the greatest villains.
