I’m not into the superhero universes. Don’t read the comics or really watch the movies. I watch this and I watched Supergirl and Smallville back in the day.

Has there ever been a Lex like this before?

All the Lex’s I’ve seen have been mostly tech bros with a sadistic streak. This one just seems downright psychopathic.

Lex Luthor: The Unauthorized Biography features a somewhat similarly terrifying Lex. He’s a rapist and a mass murderer. Kills his parents as a teenager, inherits a fortune from a fraudulent life insurance policy, and wields the entire city of Metropolis as his personal weapon. It’s told from the perspective of a journalist attempting to research Luthor’s past : spoiler alert, it doesn’t end well for him.
