One Earth: The Marvel/DC RPG
Character you would like to play:
Alexander J. "Lex" Luthor
Powers: Lex has no meta-human powers. However he does have a genius level I-Q, several weapons including a Battle-Suit, and tremendous wealth as the Founder and President if LexCorp.
Brief history of the character: Lex grew up in the Suicide Slum section of Metropolis. He was a victim of child abuse and hated his life in the Slum vowing to not only escape but one day make his father pay for the abuse he suffered at his hand. Luthor used his Genius level I-Q to win a full ride scholarship at Metropolis University where he met his chief rival Victor Von Doom. (Lex was not about to have his power and standing in the academic community taken from some European Gypsy off-spring and sabotaged one of Victor's experiments...though Victor doesn't know this). Lex was more than content to let his other rival Reed Richards take the fall. After graduating from Met-U MIT was begging him to attend which he did further enhancing his reputation as a Genius. Lex used his tech savvy gifts and ruthlessness to build LexCorp into one of the most, if not THE, powerful companies in the world also managing to hire several of the greatest minds on the planet to work for him outbidding such contemporaries as Stark Industires, Oscorp, and Wayne Enterprises. Luthor's hatred of the heroes such as Superman, Spider-Man, and the others extends from the fact that inspite of his wealth, power, and influence he cannot control ANY of them, so if he cannot control them he will destroy them at all costs. He has declared war on them and willing to align himself with others to see their destruction.
List a few reasons why you have chosen that character: With the exception of The Atom in the Ultimate DC universe RPG this is the character I am most known for. I love this character!
What are your plans with this character? Do you have a story:Lex seeks to destroy the heroes, but also have the people of the world admire and respect him. He keeps his hatred in check and doesn't make it public knowledge. I view him as an evil version of Bill Gates. While he gives away millions to charity it is all a front. If he were to give you $1,000 dollars somehow he is making $10,000 and at your expense.

Please provide a sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contains at least 1 line of dialogue):
Lex stares out at the Metropolis Skyline as he finishes putting on his Tuxedo Jacket for the LexCorp charity ball. His assistant Mercy Graves knocks on the door to his office.
He says, "
Enter."
Mercy hands him an envelope and says, "This arrived by courier abut 10 minutes ago."
Lex says, "
Thank you Mercy have the Limo in front in 15 minutes."
She bows slightly and leaves the office. Lex opens the envelope and it shows several pictures of Senator Layden in a less than flattering light.
Lex smiles and scans a few of them. He then calls Senator Layden and says, "
Good Evening Patrick. How are you?"
Layden responds, "What do you want Lex? It's a bad enough I've gotta play nice in front of the cameras for your charity event tonight."
Lex responds, "
Oh come now Patrick no need to get uppity with me on this besides you're about to owe me."
Patrick asks, "For what?"
Lex replies, "
For keeping this out of the National Spotlight."
Lex sends the scanned documents to Patrick who mumbles, "
How? It's not possible I was HOW?"
Lex replies, "
Not important the fact that I have them though is, and you are about to do exactly what I say or you can be ready to have Jon Stewart and his crew have a good time with these tomorrow night."
Patrick asks, "What is it you want?"
Lex replies, "
Simple the Mutant Registration Act; you are now in favor of it."
Layden says, "But I campaigned against it. I've written editorials against it. I made my opposition the center piece of my time in the Senate!"
Lex says, "
You had a change of heart. It's either that or your family and you can work out your change of address, because I'm betting your wife will not want you in her life or your children's lives especially if scan #2 is seen by the public! WOW! Anyway Your call Patty."
Layden says, "All-right Luthor you win, but know this I will devote my life to seeing you burn in hell!"
Lex says,
"Whatever just remember to smile for the camera tonight during our photo-op."
Patrick hangs up the phone and Lex says, "
Not even a goodbye. Well that was rather rude."
Lex begins to chuckle as he leaves his office.
