Lex Luthor first appeared
in in Action Comics #23 and was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Originally a pulp magazine-inspired mad scientist known only by
his surname, he was later rewritten as Lex Luthor, an inventor and former
friend of Superboy. After losing his hair in a laboratory accident, Luthor
holds Superboy (and later Superman) responsible
and turns to a life of crime. Following the 1985 limited series Crisis
on Infinite Earths, Lex Luthor was re-introduced as a Machiavellian industrialist
and white-collar criminal, even briefly serving as President of the United
States. In recent years, various Writers have revised Lex Luthor's classic
origin from the 1970's, though the canonicity of these stories is uncertain.

I never followed
the Superman series (any of them), so I don't have much to say about
baldy here. I'll assume he's a really cool villain in the comics, but as a
fighting game character, his debut in MK VS DC was so-so at best. I'm sure I'd
appreciate the character a bit more if I followed the Superman series, but from
my "fighting game connoisseur" point of view, he's kinda boring to me.
His appearance in Injustice was definitely a hell of alot better than his
MK VS DC incarnation. There's a lot of cool things about his Injustice
moveset, even though some of his animations are kinda sketchy. On a side note,
I think his in-game fighting attire is pretty... silly. He spent all that time
designing that high-tech suit of badass armor... but forgot... a helmet. I mean
seriously, his shiny bald head popping out of that armor is just hilariously
stupid to me. In theory, all he needs to do is fall forward on his face, or get
shot in the head... and he's dead. Yep, you're some genius, Lex Luthor. lol.
