Either way, a Luthor without redeeming characteristics is frankly, just boring as hell to me.

Here's my old collection of Silver Age panels showcasing Luthor's better nature that I put together when I was in college, haha!



Hey my favorite character is Lex Luthor not Snidely Whiplash. Yes, he does have some good qualities. It's just that when he is in villain mode, his evil nature takes over. A Luthor who is no real threat to anyone, is totally pointless as a character.
