Although the character is normally portrayed as a bald, charismatic business magnate, Lex Luthor was originally depicted as a recluse with a full head of red hair who, in the vein of [[pulp novel]]s, wreaks havoc on the world with his futuristic weaponry.<ref>[[Jerry Siegel|Siegel, Jerry]] (w), [[Joe Shuster|Shuster, Joe]] (p, i). ''Action Comics'' #23 (1940). [[DC Comics]].</ref> The character later became hairless as the result of an artist's mistake. A 1960 story by [[Jerry Siegel]] expanded upon Luthor's origin and motives, revealing him to be a childhood friend of [[Superman (Kal-El)|Superman]] who lost his hair when a fire destroyed his laboratory, a fire which Lex blamed on Superboy, who was attempting to save Lex from a lifeform Luthor had created in vitro that was threatening to kill Luthor.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://theages.superman.nu/encyc/entries/index.php?entry=luthor |title=The ENCYCLOPÆDIA of SUPERMAN: Lex Luthor |publisher=Theages.superman.nu |date= |accessdate=2010-06-17}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.comics.org/details.lasso?id=15604 |title=GCD :: Issue :: Adventure Comics #271 |publisher=Comics.org |date= |accessdate=2010-06-17}}</ref> In current continuity, Luthor's hatred for Superman stems from viewing him as a rival for the status of the most powerful man in Metropolis.
Following the [[1985 in comics|1985]] [[limited series]] ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]'', the character was [[retroactive continuity|re-imagined]] as a [[Machiavellian]] [[white-collar crime|white-collar criminal]], even briefly serving as [[President of the United States]]. In recent years, various writers have revived Luthor's roots as a scientific genius.
The character was ranked 4th on [[IGN]]'s list of the Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ign.com/top/comic-book-villains/4.html |title=Lex Luthor is Number 4 |publisher=Comics.ign.com |date= |accessdate=2010-06-17}}</ref> and as the 8th Greatest Villain by [[Wizard (magazine)|''Wizard'']] on its 100 Greatest Villains of All Time list.<ref>McCallum, Pat (July 2006).
