==Powers and abilities== Lex Luthor is one of the brightest minds in the DC Universe, standing out not only for his prodigious intellect but also for his extraordinary analytical ability and deep knowledge across multiple scientific and technological disciplines. His genius is not limited to theory alone but extends to the practical application of his knowledge, allowing him to develop cutting-edge technology, devise extremely complex strategies, and accurately anticipate the actions of his enemies. Since his inception as a character, Luthor has been described as the most intelligent human in the DC Universe and one of the brightest beings in any world. His [[eidetic memory]] enables him to recall any information with absolute precision, reinforcing his mastery of virtually all branches of [[science]], including [[aerospace engineering]], [[biochemistry]], [[robotics]], [[artificial intelligence]], [[computing]], [[nanotechnology]], [[genetics]], [[Nuclear energy policy of the United States|nuclear energy]], [[List of synthetic polymers|synthetic polymers]], [[telecommunications]], [[Quantum mechanics|quantum physics]], and [[time travel]]. His expertise in these fields has allowed him to develop everything from highly sophisticated weaponry to teleportation mechanisms and advanced augmented reality devices. Unlike most scientists and technologists in the [[DC Universe]], Luthor does not limit himself to scientific innovation but has also demonstrated unparalleled skill in business and politics. He is the founder and CEO of LuthorCorp, one of the most powerful corporations in the world, with interests spanning multiple industries, from energy to biotechnology. Thanks to his cunning, charisma, and determination, he has become one of the richest and most influential people on the planet. His strategic genius has even led him to hold the presidency of the United States, showcasing his ability to manipulate public opinion, gain powerful allies, and eliminate political threats. In combat, although he is not a natural fighter like [[Batman]] or [[Deathstroke]], Luthor has received martial arts training, specifically in [[Karate]],<ref>''Action Comics'' #700 (June 1994)</ref> which allows him to defend himself in emergency situations. In some versions, he has also received training from the Amazons of [[Themyscira (DC Comics)|Themyscira]], further enhancing his hand-to-hand combat skills. However, his true strength lies in his ability to anticipate any confrontation and prepare advanced strategies and technology that enable him to emerge victorious without relying on physical force. Despite his immense intellect, Luthor rarely acknowledges others as his equals. With the exception of the extraterrestrial entity known as [[Brainiac (character)|Brainiac]] and, on occasion, Batman, Luthor believes that no other being in the universe matches his intellectual level. This arrogance, combined with his unwavering determination to surpass Superman, constantly drives him to seek new ways to expand his power and influence.
