Overview[]

Kryptonite ring: Lex Luthor acquired a small piece of Green kryptonite and had it fashioned into a ring. This was his means of not only taunting Superman, but also to Superman from manhandling him. After a while, Lex developed kryptonite poisoning from the ring, and had to have his hand amputated.
Warsuit: The original warsuit was a LexCorp prototype that Superman was forced to fight. However, due to the fact that the untested weapon drove its user insane, Superman was unable to pin anything on Luthor and was forced to pull back. Years later, Luthor obtained a specially made warsuit built on Apokolips and used it when his plan to blame Superman for a falling Kryptonite meteor failed.

As with many characters in the Superman mythos, Lex Luthor's name is part of the double L alliteration trope. Other characters from the franchise whose initials are both the letter L include Lois Lane, Lana Lang, Lucy Lane, Lori Lemaris and Lara Lor-Van.
