Lionel Luthor is the father of Lex Luthor, and founder and former CEO of LuthorCorp. He is very different from from his comic book counterparts, who were fairly quiet and low-key individuals. Lionel shares many characteristics with the comic book version of Lex Luthor; rather than Lex orchestrating the deaths of his parents for the insurance money (as in post-Crisis comic continuity), it is Lionel who arranges the murders of his parents, Lachlan and Eliza Luthor, with the help of criminal Morgan Edge.
