President Lex Luthor

The idea of Lex Luthor ascending to the highest office in the land is one of DC's most deliciously audacious concepts, and President Lex Luthor made his catalog debut in 1995, brought to life by the legendary duo who started it all — Superman's original creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Spanning appearances from the mid-'90s into 2018, this incarnation of the iconic villain trades the lab coat and boardroom for the Oval Office, sharing pages with the likes of Superman, Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, Green Lantern, and The Flash — a who's-who of DC's finest forced to reckon with a Luthor at the peak of his power. With key appearances in Adventures of Superman and the prestige crossover JLA/JSA: Virtue and Vice, this is a character who embodies DC's love of high-stakes political drama wrapped in superhero spectacle. If you've ever wanted to see what happens when humanity's most dangerous schemer goes legitimate, President Lex Luthor is exactly the rabbit hole worth diving into.
