[Euphoric]

​

Character Biography --​

​

A self-made man whose immeasurable intellect is always in conflict with his equally immeasurable ego, Lex Luthor is one of the world's most brilliant minds and most famous villains.

I think Lex will lead the 3rd side. If there is one.

 

[Rathalos]

Lex looks interesting.
Wonder how his mines and his weird little robot drone work.

He seems to have the worlds slowest command grab, it's like 8 billion frames. I'm not even sure if it is a grab, but it is ungodly slow.

 

[PANDEMlC]

I love me some traps.

 

[Spinky]

The amount of people not referring to him as "Sex Luthor" saddens me.

I prefer "Flex Luthor"

I'm interested to know who's going to be a Day 1 Lex. He seems very good, not my main though.

Man, Lex is shaping up to be a beast! That aerial energy axe looks just as useful and powerful as Frank West's chainsaws. That delayed tracking laser was really awesome, and even his normals looked pretty solid. With that force field he can put up, I foresee Lex being an incredibly strong character from almost any position on the screen.

I like the diversity of his projectiles, his zoning seems quite unique.

 

[PANDEMlC]

Any idea what lex probe is exactly?

 

[Juggs]

Dat LAXE

So far he looks to be most vulnerable to high mobility rushdown. Super/WW/Nightwing/Harley/Catwoman/Batman/maybe Doomsday appear to be some tough matchups.

Story wise Lex is perfect for this game, I mean it's a universe where Lex Luthor is right, the big bad overpowered alien came down and enslaved the human race. I can understand why he looks a bit like the hero in some of the trailers...

 

[MashPotatoTower]

This dude is said to be in the demo. What's his character trait?

This dude is said to be in the demo. What's his character trait?

He becomes invulnerable to projectiles for a short period of time. Doesn't work on some projectiles, like Joker's super.

 

[CCVengeance]

Momentary Lex mainer here.Gonna go HAM with him in the demo!

 

[PANDEMlC]

This will be the first character I play in the demo, if it has MP I know everyone will probably play Batman and I gotta test out how good Lex's traps are.

 

[Jack White]

Only character in the demo that I'm interested in playing.

 

[Big Frog]

Still not sure what to think of Sex Luthor. I keep thinking he's underrated, but can't tell if he's viable against rush chars. He's one of my main choices.

From what I've seen, if he doesn't have time to establish his zoning/trap game he can become overwhelmed. I don't think his armour is as useful as some of the other characters either. However once he controls the pace of a match he's a real problem. He needs to find a way to buy time and then he's set. I'm sure a better picture will be painted once the game is fully out and he's explored a little more.
