Background
At the age of nine, a young Lex Luthor was hit on the head with what was believed to be a meteor (which in actuallity was the spaceship that the baby Kal-El arrived in). Lex survived, but was mutated so that his previously red hair fell out and so that he could never become ill.
Lex Luthor is a billionaire, the head of LexCorp Industries, and a philantrophist, but is also the power-hungry arch-enemy of Metropolis' protector, Superman. Lex is cunning and has super human intelligence which he uses in his struggle against Superman.
In LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes
In LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, Lex Luthor is a trailing presidential candidate. He has also been nominated for the Man of the Year award and goes to Gotham City for the ceremony. He looses to Bruce Wayne, and begins to despise Wayne for not only winning the award, but for the witty comments he made towards Lex and having more female companions with him. When The Joker, Harley Quinn, The Penguin, The Riddler, and Two-Face raided the awards, Lex didn't faint or flee but instead watched them, particularly The Joker, and shared his table with Harley, Riddler, Penguin, and Two-Face as Joker spoke on the stage. When Batman and Robin arrived in the Bat-boat, Lex and the others ran before it landed on the table.
Lex later breaks Joker out of Arkham Asylum with a Kryptonite powered gun, The Deconstructor, which can pull apart shiny black objects. Lex hints that it can be used to destroy Batman's vehicles, such as the Batmobile and Batwing, and they team-up.
Joker robs Ace Chemicals and creates false Kryptonite. When Batman and Robin take it, he and Lex use the tracking device in it to find the Batcave, destroy Batman's vehicles, and take the Kryptonite Batman keeps in a vault.
They leave for LexCorp in a large aircraft with the Kryptonite. Batman and Superman infiltrate the aircraft, but Batman is dropped through a trapdoor and while Superman saves him, the aircraft escapes. At LexCorp, they finish construction of a large Joker-robot and blast through the roof on their way back to Gotham. Batman and Superman try to stop the robot, but Superman is weakened by Kryptonite and Batman saves him.
The robot lands back in Gotham and is approached by Batman and a weakened Superman. Lex and Joker force them into the Metro. After several attempts to stop them, Batman and Superman escape.
Lex gives a speech at the City Hall while Joker sprays a mind altering gas. Once again, Batman and Superman arrive to stop them. The latter uses his heat vision to destroy the robot's flower that is distributing the gas.
Robin arrives in a multi-colored Batmobile. Joker and Lex chase him and Batman through the city while they leave a Kryptonite trail which resembles Joker's face. They then decide to attack Wayne Tower.
However, Martian Manhunter saw the Kryptonite trail from space and alerted the rest of the Justice League. While Superman and Wonder Woman keep the building standing, Batman, Robin, Green Lantern, and Cyborg fight the robot and drive it into the ground. Green Lantern created constructs to keep the building standing, which freed up Wonder Woman and she and The Flash joined the others to finish the robot off. Joker emerges and tries to use his joybuzzer to defeat the Justice League, but was defeated, and Lex soon afterward.
Lex can be found in the hub at the Yacht Club.
On the portable version, Lex's minikit can be found on the level Attack on LexCorp. He costs 500,000 studs.
