Welcome to the Grey Area! You're probably wondering: What is the Grey Area? What does that even have to do with World of Metahumans or the DC Universe? Well, we all have our own definition of right and wrong. But do we really? Everyone has differing opinions and sometimes, being a hero does not mean someone is good and being a villain does not guarantee that the person is evil. In this brand new column, I want to explore the different opinions. Every week, I will put the spotlight on a DC character. (DON'T FORGET TO HOVER OVER THE PICTURE to flip the card.) Let's get started, eh!
--LEX LUTHOR--
Alexander Joseph "Lex" Luthor is the well-known owner of LexCorp. He is also a genius billionaire who possesses an undying hatred of his archenemy, Superman. Lex tends to brag about his intelligence as well as refer to himself in third person. He also believed himself to be the greatest supervillain of all.
In my eyes, Lex Luthor will always be a villain, no matter what. "Does the end justify the means?" That is a question that most people asked when dealing with Lex. His intentions might have been good sometimes, but would it really justify all the innocent lives that were lost? One of the reasons as to why I chose him for this week's article is because I have seen arguments regarding how he was just a human being who made mistakes. Basically the argument was that Superman might be the hero we aspire to be, but Lex Luthor is the hero we all needed.
He was said to have used his intelligence to try and do what he thought was right for the population. Although I terribly disagree, I still do accept all the opinions, so let me know that you think?
Would you consider him as a hero?
