- The Alien says that he is humanity's savior. That he fights for "Truth, Justice and the American Way". He makes the entire world love him and look up to him. And yet, there is one man who can see what a threat the alien truly represents, one man who is willing to stand against the being who has been compared with God: Lex Luthor. The battle will be ugly, but the truth shall prevail.

| - The Alien says that he is humanity's savior. That he fights for "Truth, Justice and the American Way". He makes the entire world love him and look up to him. And yet, there is one man who can see what a threat the alien truly represents, one man who is willing to stand against the being who has been compared with God: Lex Luthor. The battle will be ugly, but the truth shall prevail. An Alternate Character Interpretation of Superman's arch-nemesis Lex Luthor, Lex Luthor: Man of Steel was first published in 2005 by DC Comics. It's a bit of a departure from other stories about Luthor, which up until then (and indeed for twenty years previous) had shown him as little more than an unrepentant asshole who just wanted to kill Superman. It deconstructs Superman's Arch Enemy in subtle ways, or at least speaks to humanist traits the character had taken on since about 2000. First is this: when other comics on the stands in 2005 were about Luthor heading up a big honkin' Legion of Doom and manipulating Superboy For the Evulz, an empathic view into the mind of Lex Luthor was seen as an odd thing, though not totally unwelcomed. As it turns out, the story was very well-received. Recently re-released and given the more laconic yet intimidating title Luthor. Works nicely as a companion piece to Azzarello's later work, Joker: even the trade dress and typefaces play up the differences between these two characters. Frank Miller might be proud.
