I don't care what they say about me! I am not a racist! IT'S EVERYTHING ELSE I HATE ABOUT YOU!

— Lex Luthor

Lex Luthor was the enemy of Superman (Calvin Ellis).

History

A citizen of his Earth, Luthor's life presumably echoed that of his New Earth counterpart. However, his Earth's version of Superman is African-American, and as a result people accused him of racism.

His activities are unknown. What is known is that five years after the creation of the Justice League, Lex Luthor was a "mad scientist" using robot warsuits to defend labs in abandoned buildings, while Superman was a key component in US President Calvin Ellis' plan to help fix the world.

As a result of a vision he had while on drugs, he built a bridge between universes, and when a monstrous version of Superman emerged from it, he helped his archnemesis defeat it before running from the Justice League.
