Lex
Luthor (played by Michael
Rosenbaum) is born in 1977 and is the son of Lillian and Lionel
Luthor. He lives in the Luthor
Mansion. He currently owns and runs LuthorCorp.
In
the Pilot episode we see him run off a bridge hitting Clark
Kent dead on. Clark obviously doesn't
die but rather saves Lex's life by pulling him out of his Porsch. This sparks Lex's four year friendship and obsession
with Clark. Lex is also obsessed by the fact that he lived
through the Porsch accident. He is also greatly puzzled that
he did not kill Clark even though Clark claims that Lex didn't hit him
in the accident. Lex later reveals that the only reason he was friends with Clark
was to get closer to his family because he wanted that life.
As the show progresses Lex
spirals down more and more into darkness. After Clark finds out that Lex
has been investigating him, he starts to not trust Lex.
Lex, in the
beginning of the show, tried to do good and make a difference although HE
always had an evil side to him. However, now he is driven more by self-desire than
anything. He is manipulative, deceitful, vindictive, and has an immense thirst
for more power. He is now involved with Lana
Lang and begins to pull her down
into darkness as well.
