Early Life
Luthor was born to a wealthy family in Metropolis. The young Luthor was a child prodigy with a genius intelligence. His father sought to use his son's intelligence for the family business, but he chose to work in the field of science. Luthor founded his own biotechnology company after his father severed ties with him. The company grew over the years acquiring various companies and corporations and became a conglomerate.

Quest for Power
During one of his funded archeological digs a mysterious device was discovered. It was technology that had never been seen before. When it was brought to Luthor, he examined it and was telepathically transported to another planet where he met Darkseid. The two made a deal that Luthor would rule Earth under Darkseid's supervision. Afterwards Luthor started getting technology from the planet Apokolips and began developing weapons. He then started a partnership with gangster Bruno Mannheim to distribute the weapons worldwide.

Dealing with Superman
Everything seemed to be fine until Superman began to ruin his operations. When Superman discovered his illegal dealings he rarely made contact with clients. Some of them began to threaten to reveal their dealings to the world. As a response, Luthor sent assassin Deathstroke to eliminate them and destroy evidence that could incriminate him. The lack of evidence leaves Superman unable to apprehend Luthor for it would cause negative outcry against him.
