Smallville

Lex Luthor was the son of Lionel Luthor, a millionaire businessman, and heir to his father's fortune, Named after Alexander the Great (Lionel believed himself to be the business world version of Philip II of Macedon), Lex was mutated and lost all of his hair during the meteor shower that brought Kal-El to Earth. Years later, Lex would become best friend of Clark Kent: though Luthor lost control of his Porsche and hit Clark, the latter later saved his life and the two bonded from the incident. For several years, young Lex had noble goals, especially with regard to how he wished to be seen by the people of Smallville, Lex later began to head down a darker path. Eventually, Lex's relationship with Clark came to an end, and his true machinations became apparent when he had Clark, his parents, and Lana Lang taken hostage in an effort to prove that Clark was hiding secret abilities. Through deception and lies, Lex managed to alienate both Clark and Lionel, steal Lana Lang away from Clark, and become possessed by the consciousness of General Zod. Lex continues to progress toward his ultimate destiny as Clark's arch-nemesis. Most recently in an attempt to gain information about the mysterious traveller Lex killed his father, he also enginered the final break up of Lana Lang and clark kent. Though Lex was seemingly killed when Oliver Queen planted bombs under the truck he was in, Dr light recently mentioned that Lex still lives and will one day become Clark Kents greatest ever nemesis.
