I KNOW RIGHT???? I fucking LOVED my mental image of Lex Luthor as like, the eviler side to Horatio Alger's rags-to-riches story! And it meshed so well with those cartoons' characterization--a guy who takes his appearance and reputation SO seriously, the guy who can socially manipulate fucking SUPERMAN, who knows how to use the media to his advantage... that always struck me as the behavior of someone who's not used to coasting or resting on his laurels, but someone who's utterly determined NEVER to end up at the bottom again.

Like, man! I would read the backstory of a man like that!

it'd have made him so much more evil to pretend to be aiding his racial group and his community and sometimes legitimately doing so and then turning and throwing them under the bus if it came down to him vs them

Ooh, maybe. But I dunno, the shows I saw regarding Luthor was, he did seem to take an interest in his community and keeping them well (so they'd keep supporting his enterprises). I kinda mentally saw him in maybe a similar vein to the machine politicians who had huge popular support, despite being totally corrupt, because they knew how to keep the people happy.

I could totally see him as the kind of guy who totally crushes the people who might make him look bad though, especially if they make him look bad by pointing out he isn't as shinyclean as his image suggests. Imagine the sort of Internet conspiracy theories he would generate if he was a real person!
