Lex Luthor was the most powerful man in Metropolis until Superman came to town.

When terrorists attacked a society gala aboard his yacht, Luthor observed Superman in action and then tried to hire the Man of Steel. But when Superman admitted that he'd expected the attack, Mayor Berkowitz deputized Superman to arrest Luthor for reckless endangerment.

Humiliated, Luthor vowed to destroy Superman. He has since devoted much time and energy to that task. Superman survived every attempt but has never been able to prove Luthor's role in the attacks.

Some fear Luthor. Others admire him. No one can ignore him. He is, arguably, the most dangerous man on Earth.
