Is he basically just evil Iron Man?

>evil
>Iron Man
That's redundant

Sure, Lex never managed to implement a gulag for superheroes set in a hellish parallel universe, but he's "the evil one".
Fucking Tony Stark.

Serious question here

What's Lex's motivation?

>>87356212
So he's Obadiah Stane.

Fuck Superman in the butt.

>>87356341
Ego. Envy and jealousy of Superman. The man is brilliant but cannot stand the fact that not everyone worships him 24/7 like he's Felicity.

>>87356341
What was Lex's motivation and goals before Superman became a thing though?

>>87356341
hes bald

>>87356341

Superman is holding humanity back

>>87356341
He's a manlet who suffers from impotency and jealously.

>>87356395
L-lewd.

No, Lex Luthor is way older than Iron Man.

Outwardly he says he thinks Superman is either a threat to humanity either literally ro figuratively through complacency
Deep down however Superman just makes him insecure as he likes to imagine himself the ubermensch then when Supes cam and set up shop in his backyard he's forced to confront the fact he isn't daily.

>>87356420
being all smug and satisfied that he's better than everyone else. the problem is Superman came and showed him that there's someone who's stronger than him, which he probably could have handle except for the fact that Superman kept outsmarting him too

>>87357280
Plus Supes is a morally better person who spits in the face of his cynicism. So naturally he must be a fraud of some sort. Someone can't be that much better than him and use it for good out of the kindness of his heart. It makes no god damn sense. There has to be an ulterior motive of some sort.

>>87356341
To make Earth great again.

>supes is a better person than Lex meme
stop posting Lois

>>87356212
No, Iron Man is just slightly-more-good Lex Luthor.

>>87357775
>Supes isn't better than Lex
Talk less, Alexander.

go back to your own world. Oh wait you can't. And if the sun was to explode you wouldn't tell everyone to launch ships, you will tell everyone to hope that YOU can save the world. YOU would have us all die because we can't do anything for ourselves, you have to save US. So another sun blows up and takes another planet with it cause we didn't do anything for ourselves.

I mean, Lex has a point

Yeah but he also makes a point of making hundred mile trips for the sole purpose of shattering what little happiness back water waitresses might have.

He's hardly morally superior.

No, he's DC Doctor Doom, at least in the Bruce Timm cartoons.
And this is what made him amazing. Best Luthor ever.

>>87360789

Remember when Doom got past some guardian that would kill evil people? I imagine Luthor could pull it off as well.

An equally indomitable will.

>>87356341
He is human, therefore flawed and in all his flawed existence he lashes out against Superman who is the embodiment of everything perfect and something mere humans can't never reach.
