Lex Luthor is heir to a wealthy family and head of Luthorcorp, a Smallville-based company. His destiny changed in 1989 when a meteor shower hit the small Kansas town. At that time, Lex, who is only a child, is hit directly and loses his hair. From that day on, he's been on an avid quest to push back the laws of nature.
In Smallville, Lex Luthor is portrayed as an ambitious young billionaire, above the law and willing to do anything to get what he wants. Possessing all the material possessions he wants, Lex is looking for the love of a family, friends and relationships, and will soon jealously guard Clark's life to the point of coveting his powers.
