Lex Luthor originally appeared in '' Action Comics'' #23 (cover dated: April 1940). He has since endured as the archnemesis of the superhero Superman.

Genius
Genius is a characteristic of original and exceptional insight in the performance of some art or endeavor that surpasses expectations, sets new standards for future works, establishes better methods of operation, or remains outside the capabilities of competitors. Genius is associated with intellectual ability and creative productivity, and may refer to a polymath who excels across diverse subjects. There is no scientifically precise definition of a genius.
