    Lex Luthor

    Character » Lex Luthor appears in 4366 issues.

    Lex Luthor, Superman's arch-nemesis, is one of the most brilliant men alive, whose hatred of "interfering aliens" pushes him down the path of a sociopath. Known for his "ends justifies the means" approach to life, his single-minded and often brutal focus puts him at odds with The Man of Steel. Luthor is arguably DC Comics' most iconic villain.

    How did Lex get the scars on his face?

    well they probably haven't shown yet. He doesn't have them in Unchained, and he didn't have them when he was shown in that super prison in action comics, so I'm going to assume that we'll see in some story that's still set in the past.

    or they'll just ditch them all together. He doesn't need scars like a James Bond villain, he's Lex Luthor for crying out loud.

    Actually wasn't his baldness originally thought to be superman's fault and so that was why he hated him? Bald isn't monstrous anymore, in fact pretty vogue. If they still want him to have some physical reminder of why to hate superman. I don't think it's really necessary, just tossing it out there

    if by "originally" you mean "20 years after he was created" then yeah sure.
