On Earth-167, Lex gave himself superpowers with some chemicals on a world where Clark Kent had no special abilities. Lex became Superman and Clark became Batman in a special Brave and the Bold team-up, and the heroic Lex wound up sacrificing himself in the end.
Earth-148′s Lex was also a good guy, and with his partner Clayface, teamed with Earth-1’s Batman and Superman to help stop their world’s evil Batman and Superman. In the end, Lex hypnotized the bad guys into thinking that they were good, and the plan worked. If only it were that simple…
In Superman: Speeding Bullets, Superman was raised by Thomas and Martha Wayne, leaving Lex unopposed in Smallville and Metropolis. Moving to Gotham for a challenge, he came into contact with some chemicals that gave him a permanent smile and a pale complexion that should be familiar to any DC Comics fan.
The most successful Lex of all time? Why, that’s the Lex Luthor of Earth-149, the villain of the Death of Superman story. He managed to fool Superman into thinking he finally went straight as he developed a cure for cancer. Repeated attempts on his life by the mob only reinforced the idea that Lex was reformed. Instead, he was simply waiting for an opportunity to corner Kal-El on a satellite and zap him with Green Kryptonite. Poor Lex wasn’t aware there was a Supergirl who was ready to take her cousin’s place, and he was sent to the Phantom Zone as punishment.
