[@Descartes]Well, I just read your backstory and I kind of need to know a little more. first thing, though...

The RP kind of exists in its own Multiverse. It isn't directly connected to the comic book DCU. Like, we have some people now that are clearly straight adaptions of canon characters (IE, Sinestro), and so your character being "Lex Luthor" is fine...heck, Superman just happening to be named "Clark Kent" in one of the infinite universes out there is fine too...I just wanted to note that our setting's Multiverse doesn't operate by the same rules as the canon one. For instance, Earth-1 in our cosmology is simply a "normal" Earth. A world with no superheroes.

Now, my question is...was your Lex Luthor supposed to have come from the Earth-1 of our cosmology? The "real world", where he worked as a comic shop owner?
