Lex Luthor's Warsuit is a fictional power armor featured in comic books published by DC Comics. It relates to the Superman line of comic titles and is utilized by the character of Lex Luthor.
Description & History[]
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. The suit made him even with Superman, but the Man of Steel was able to fight back and disable it. Luthor though used a Boom Tube to escape capture. The second suit found itself in many hands before Luthor regained it. However, it was destroyed by Superboy-Prime.
Luthor designed a sleeker version in his attempt to hunt down the Black Ring.
Pre-Crisis[]
Lex Luthor obtained a sophisticated alien battle-suit on his adopted home planet of Lexor while he was living there shortly before its total destruction. Subsequently, Luthor used the Lexorian armor in many battles with his archenemy, Superman.
