Hey Yas Forums, how come Lex Luthor doesn't like Superman?

Hey Yas Forums, how come Lex Luthor doesn't like Superman?

Lex Luthor is a jerk.

he called him a nigger

Superman called him bald

Several reasons, a lot of them petty. He hates a man more powerful than him, especially one that he sees as a safety net that prevents humanity's progress. Doesn't help that despite all of Luthor's achievements, people will remember Superman over him, and adore the alien over one of their own. There's also a bit of a challenge, where Lex just wants to piss off a worthy opponent

Superman can look at Lex's micropenis at any time with his X-ray vision and Lex can't do shit about it.

Lex seems to think that humans can solve their own problems, and that Superman is a crutch keeping them from reaching their full potential. Being that everyone in comics is a goddamn moron though, he's probably wrong.

Just look at him. So sleek. So powerful. So... beautiful, like some great golden god made flesh. Of course, any sensible god would demand absolute obedience in return for his favor. But, no, our Man of Steel protects us, with no strings attached. The people? Hmph. They practically worship him anyway. Enjoy your reign while you may, Superman. For surely as night follows day, there comes a time when even gods must die.

Because he thinks that if humanity keeps relying on superman to save the day, humans will be unable survive on their own because they would become too dependent on him

>Doesn't help that despite all of Luthor's achievements, people will remember Superman over him, and adore the alien over one of their own.
This makes a lot of sense. He knows that no matter what he does to help humanity through endless hours of toil and work that Superman can lazily save a few kids from a car wreck and will get far more recognition. Lex created tens of thousands of jobs and advanced quality of life for millions but no one will celebrate him like they do Superman.

Because he’s Bald and Foolish.

That's Lex's equivalent to Joker's "Chaos is fair" bullshit from The Dark Knight. It's just believable garbage he feeds people because it's a lot easier to get people on his side than "I don't like that Superman's better than me, so I've devoted my life and fortune to getting rid of him".

Because Yas Forums is a big long explanation that puts you in your place and let's me feel superior while simultaneously exhausted degrading myself typing this for you. Gah. I'm so exhausted.
T-Master Shake

Because he's evil.

Lex has a point that writers don't usually talk about. Humans are fucking incompetent and too dependent on Superman.

How comfy!

People are retards though. They all worship Superman but never better themselves. Lex may be transparent in his motives but he has a point.

Its both.
He thinks Superman holds humanity back (he honestly does depending on the writer)
And he’s got petty jealousy because he believes he was the “super” man, the human who worked for mental and physical dominance, to be an example of what a man CAN be, to inspire people to be their best selfs through example, and to lead them to solving their own problems.
His existence does spit in Lex’s face.
Imagine someone like Bruce Wayne becoming a Superman without the powers. All the inspiration, the ability to move worlds for the greater good, and all from a human being, inspiring new generations of mankind to dedicate to fitness, education, and progress of our society.
thats what Lex believes Superman holds us back from.

Yep Lex isn't a one dimensional Saturday morning cartoon character like Yas Forums might believe. DC people are still like the real world counterparts, aka drooling tards instead of being the best of themselves.

>Hey Yas Forums, how come Lex Luthor doesn't like Superman?
He likes him, he likes him too much. That's why Superboy is a thing.

Fuck off Lex, Superman's saved the multiverse many many times.

It's Superman's fault Lex is bald.

Lex is a good character because he's equally believable and enjoyable as a Saturday morning cartoon character who's just evil for the fuck of it as he is brooding about the nature of humanity and the ubermensch

SuperLex was cool... I miss him.

Yes, that's why he became popular.

he hates immigrants

That's all bullshit, user. It's the lie Luthor tells himself. He's just petty and jealous

True tards are Yas Forums users.

If you want to talk about MUH CONTRIBUTIONS TO SOCIETY stopping the collapse of reality is several orders of magnitude higher than creating jobs.

You wrote this without irony or shame.

You're being too simple, Lex is motivated primarily by his envy of Superman, but he is right to some degree. People worship Superman like Jesus. but don't do shit outside of that.

>Superman sees two black dudes calling each other my nigga
>He starts using it because he thinks its a earth greeting
>Calls jimmy & Lois my nigga

why hasnt this been done before god damnit

Do you.. do you not know anything about Clark Kent?

Its a dumb joke, retard.

Probably because Clark/Superman isn't a fish out of water. He's as much as an Earthling as an alien can get. You need to read.

Oh youre right haha
It was dumb

Mostly because he’s an arrogant control freak. He hates the idea that someone is superior to him by his standards.

Cringe.

It was just dumb

Does anyone have that page where Lothor gives up god level power just so he can keep shitting on Superman?

Lex got cucked by Superman when he was attempting to make the moves on Lois.

back to eddit faggots.

>I was pretending to be dumb on purpose
>gets called out
>cringes
Appropriate

The Humanity schtick is a lie. Superman is just the seemingly most powerful thing in his proximity and hes too insecure to let him exist. Anything else is just him trying to appear like hes not 5he petty ass he clearly is.

Agreed, Supes doesn't make sense, it has to be Zod or something.
>Kneel, nigga.
>I will find that nigga!

Because Superman is lame

Hasn't Lex done that too a couple of times by now?

Because Lex thinks Humanity relies on him too much and, instead of becoming more powerful and self-reliant in his absence, they simply stay weak because they know Superman will save them instead of them being forced to cope.

Lex is still a faggot though, it's not like he does anything to improve anything either. He could lead Mankind into a golden age if he wanted to, but he chooses not to.

I still can't get over how I'm suppose to think this Lex is white at all, let alone "Greek". How many Greek gingers are out there?

This could only work if it was John

Now this is great.

Lux hates that superman doesn't abuse his power. Lux is just Jelly.

If you want a good answer. Read Lex Luthor Man of Steel. IMO one of the best comics ever.

>Imagine someone like Bruce Wayne becoming Superman without the powers
That's fucking retarded, that silver-spoon fed trust fund manbaby can't even be arsed to do anything except press events and "donate" his family's money somewhere that us citzens of Gotham don't even see the benefit of! Didn't he even put some money into that looney joint from the 50's? Shows how good that fuckin was, people break out of there every week.

On a surface level:
>Superman is not human so he will never truly be "on our side"
>People will come to rely on Superman to solve their problems rather than try to solve them themselves, creating a complacent, weak humanity
>Superman is absolute power and absolute power corrupts absolutely
Actual reasons (mainly different forms of jealousy)
>Lex had to work and fight tooth and nail to gain everything he has while Superman was just given powers, leading to a sense of false entitlement
>Lex grew up despite a deadbeat, abusive father while Superman had a loving family
>Lex's entire life was driven by a desire not to be small or insignificant and Superman makes him feel small and insignificant
>Lex wants to be the hero of this story, instead he "has" to play the villain

On a related note, this is personally why I liked the Super Lex concept so much. Lex has always said that if it wasn't for Superman existing he would have been the hero humanity needed. So when Superman dies and Lex makes an honest attempt at being a hero in the wake of that death, it would be an great opportunity for Luthor to be forced to put his money where his mouth is and taste where his real loyalties lie.

>Lex grew up despite a deadbeat, abusive father while Superman had a loving family
Does Lex ever really know enough about Superman's private life for this to be a motivation?

Superman isn't the only superhero, Lex; he's not even the only one of his power-level. Lots of humans better themselves, some are even *inspired* by him.

You're just a bald, bitter Greek olive-picker at heart.
