>>118219444>Man who had everything given to him by his superior genetics and manifest destinyDid you miss the whole point of Lex Luthor? He can save the world if he wants easily, cure all cancer, solve world, reverse global warming and any other problem man has ever faced, but he refuses to do so. His ego is too large to let him help the world and do anything but fulfill his own needs. This is to contrast superman, he uses his power not for himself but for others, a man who for all the powers he has is just a guy who can punch really hard and move really quick, he’s less capable then Luthor but he becomes the hero of the world. Not because of his powers but his willingness to use them for the bettering of others, if Luthor hadn’t been so prideful and shared his gifts with other he could have easily become the world’s greatest hero, he probably would have been a better hero then even Superman. Luthor had everything in his favor but instead of helping others he abuses them and uses them only for gain.
>an uppity black man who rose from poverty and thus had to cut cornersA. Luthor isn’t black he just has a tan
B. You realize that superman’s best friend aside from Jimmy and Batman is a heavily intelligent black man who doesn’t abuse his power like Luthor and instead uses it to help people.
>And when the fuck Superman talked against racism?Since like the 50’s, there’s a poster of him talking to a bunch of ethnically diverse children telling them that racism is bad and all people are equal.
