Civilian Personality: This iteration of Lex Luthor believes that everything that is going on in the universe is wrong, that he knows how to fix it, and that he will fix it. He sometimes will attempt to predict the future. As one might expect, his predictions some times come true and some times don't, to a degree that it could simply be considered blind probability. However, when certain things don't occur in the way he predicted, he will claim that things aren't happening as they should.
People shrug him off as being "crazy" or "eccentric". Biting comments are met with the claim that he's one of the few things actually going right and that it's everything else that's not as it should be, sometimes referring to himself as "Lex Luthor Prime", as if implying that he is the true and definite form of Lex Luthor, whatever that may entail.
Luthor's feels the most vitriol against Super Man, who he claims is "a perversion of the original". This hatred had pushed Luthor to purchasing obscene quantities of Kryptonite.

Biography---------
Character History/Origin: The story of Alexei Luthorenko comes in two different accounts: That is, there is the official account that most people know and that is documented within different media in this universe, documented on government papers, and so on; as well as the version which the current, living Lex Luthor might tell to someone.
His official story states that Alexei Luthorenko was born in Metropolis to a family of immigrants from the Soviet Union and raised in Suicide Slum. When his parents died, Luthorenko made enough money off of the inheritance to start his own business, LexCorp. In his early years, LexCorp had grown tremendously due to Luthorenko's intellect as a business and ability to educate himself on different subjects. He had a reputation as a genius and a philanthropist, even running for political office. His story was the prime American dream: a young man born with nothing, picking himself up by the bootstraps and slowly climbing his way to success, carving out his own legacy.
Things did not continue this way. As his career had dragged on, the business man and philanthropist seemed to grow more nihilistic. It had been made known for years that he had made plans for suicide, usually stopped by therapists convincing him not to. That is, until one fateful day, when he jumped off a bridge. His body had not been found, and the business man was reported as dead.
Months later, another man going by the same description as Luthorenko was found in Gotham City, and the supposedly dead man had suddenly come back to life, even reclaiming his position as CEO of LexCorp, as if nothing had happened, however, as people spoke to him, especially news sources, he had peculiarly shortened his name from "Alexei Luthorenko" to simply "Lex Luthor".
Though he won't tell his entire life story to everyone, to someone he trusts, he might divulge his "true origin", though the validity of such claims seems more bizarre the more one listens to them. The accounts of his early life seem tame enough, in spite of contradictory evidence of things that have actually happened. According to Luthor, he was actually born in Smallville, where he lived his his parents and sister. He was known to be a genius from a young age, even skipping a grade. He met the love of his life in High School and spent a good chunk of his days reading comic books. He was a business man by nature, picking it as his profession, and moved on to found LexCorp.
When he grew old enough, acquiring enough capital, he settled down, back to his home town of Smallville with his wife. He stepped down as the CEO of LexCorp and started a comic book store in Smallville which he ran with his wife. This was until one day, on a late night walk, he looked up at the sky at a shooting star only to trip and fall. When he came to, he was in Gotham City and found that his entire world had changed.
However, there are no official documents ever stating that Lex Luthor was ever married, nor has there ever been any news that he was ever getting married; his birth certificate states that he was in fact born in Metropolis; and there are no reports of any comic book store in Smallville run by a couple. Thus, any claims of such can be chalked up as the ravings of a mad man.
Since his attempted suicide and later reclaimation of his company, Lex Luthor stopped showing signs of depression but began to exhibit symptoms of schizophrenia, often talking to himself. He looked at the world's super heroes as something garish and fake, and that none of them deserved their position as a super hero. His greatest target is Super Man, who he sees as a "perversion on the original" who needs to be purged. Though he had taken no overt offensive action against Super Man, Luthor has bought with a decent chunk of his company money, large quantities of kryptonite. He always carries at least a bit of kryptonite with him, just in case the opportunity arises. Enough so in fact that Luthor eventually got cancer.
