Crawling up his way from the unfriendly neighborhood of Metropolis's Suicide Slum to a successful inventor to the billionaire businessman to the President of United States, Alexander Joseph Luthor is the most powerful man on Earth. He developed an enmity towards Superman, as he worked very hard to reach on top of fame and power but the alien from Krypton got it for free.
Apparently, he used a clone to blame for all of his crimes in early days as well as fooling Supergirl. Apart from antagonizing the Man of Steel, Luthor picked a fight with Bruce Wayne/Batman during the crisis of No Man's Land and then he tried to frame him by hiring David Cain (Bruce Wayne – Fugitive). Luthor struck a deal with Darkseid in the time of Imperiex War by delivering Doomsday.
Luthor was always aware about Superman’s secret identity but remained silent as it may harm Lois Lane, the only woman he cares for but Manchester Black erased this knowledge from his memory (Ending Battle). He grew extremely arrogant about his adversary and blamed Superman for an oncoming Kryptonite meteor (Public Enemies).
His Earth-Three counterpart was responsible for Infinite Crisis but ended up getting killed by The Joker. He tried to frame his doppelganger for his previous crimes and to get away with the Everyman Project, which also failed (52). Along with many other villains Lex was transported to a prison planet before Final Crisis (Salvation Run). Upon the rise of New Krypton, Luthor accessed the knowledge of Brainiac.
