Editing Lex Luthor (section)

===== ''Infinite Crisis'' =====
[[Alexander Luthor Jr.]] (the son of Earth-Three's version of Luthor) returns to the DC Universe along with other survivors from ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' as part of a scheme to replace it with a perfect Earth. He masquerades as the mainstream Lex Luthor and creates a new [[Secret Society of Super Villains]]. In response, the real Luthor takes on the identity of '''[[Mockingbird (DC Comics)|Mockingbird]]''' and forms the third incarnation of the [[Secret Six (comics)|Secret Six]] to counter the Society. The two have a confrontation during the main ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'' story and the mainstream Lex Luthor helps Earth's heroes locate young Alexander Jr. After ''Infinite Crisis'' ends, Luthor oversees Alexander's execution at the hands of the [[Joker (character)|Joker]] in Crime Alley.
