Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Alien says that he is humanity's savior. That he fights for "Truth, Justice and the American Way". He makes the entire world love him and look up to him.And yet, there is one man who can see what a threat the alien truly represents, one man who is willing to stand against the being who has been compared with God: Lex Luthor. The battle will be ugly, but the truth shall prevail.An Alternate Character Interpretation of Superman's arch-nemesis, Lex Luthor: Man of Steel was first published in 2005 by DC Comics. It's a bit of a departure from other stories about Luthor, which up until then (and indeed for twenty years previous) had shown him as little more than an unrepentant jerk who just wanted to kill Superman. It speaks to humanist traits the character had taken on since about 2000. First is this: when other comics on the stands in 2005 were about Luthor heading up a large Legion of Doom and manipulating Superboy For the Evulz, an empathetic view into the mind of Lex was seen as an odd thing, though not unwelcomed; many readers came away noting that Luthor may have had a point at times. As it turns out, the story was very well-received.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Was re-released and given the more laconic yet intimidating title Luthor. Works nicely as a companion piece to Azzarello's later work, Joker; even the trade dress, typefaces, and titles (in both incarnations; Lex Luthor: Man of Steel / Joker: The Dark Knight and Luthor / Joker) play up the differences between the two characters.

Affably Evil: Lex is polite to everyone he meets, but which parts are real and which are a facade are hard to determine.

Beware the Superman: From Luthor's perspective, Superman always has glowing malevolent red eyes, and every stitch and seam of his costume can be seen, and is silent during the entire series save for the end.

comment
Break Them by Talking: Luthor tries to do this to Superman twice; once at the beginning, and once at the end after Superman's battle with Hope. Superman isn't very impressed either time, and unfortunately for Luthor his Shut Up, Hannibal! statement at the end is a lot better at doing this.
