:''"I'm not the {{Lionel}} you knew."'' - Lionel Luthor to [[Lois Lane]], ''[[Scion]]''
+
+
'''Lionel Luthor''' (1944-2011) was [[Lionel Luthor]]'s doppelganger from [[Earth-2]], [[LuthorCorp]]'s billionaire founder/CEO, and [[Clark Luthor]]'s adoptive father.
+
+
After escaping to [[Earth|Earth-1]], he briefly became LuthorCorp's fourth CEO, [[Clark and Lionel|schemed]] against [[Clark Kent]], [[Tess and Lionel|dueled]] against his daughter [[Tess Mercer]], had [[Lionel and Conner|tried]] to bring [[Conner Kent|"Alexander Luthor"/Conner Kent]] to his side as an heir, and sold his own soul to [[Darkseid]] to [[Lex and Lionel|revitalize]] his son [[Lex Luthor]].
+
+
==Physical Appearance==
+
+
[[File:Luthor2.jpg|thumb|Lionel Luthor of Earth-2]]
+
+
Like his [[Lionel Luthor|doppelganger]], this Lionel had long hair and his beard was also graying, showing his age.<ref>Lionel's original appearence in ''[[Luthor]], [[Beacon]]'' and ''[[Scion]]'' was similiar to his doppelganger's appearance in {{S1}}, {{S2}}, the second half of {{S5}} and first half of {{S6}}.</ref> He casually wore slacks, nice dinner and dress jackets, frequently gray and black long sleeve shirts.
+
+
After Tess had stripped him of his company, Lionel appeared much more disheveled, with a bushier beard and much greasier hair.<ref>Lionel's disheveled appearence in ''[[Finale, Part 2]]'' was a combination of his doppelganger's long hair in {{S3}} and sickly appearance in the first half of {{S4}}.</ref> When he made the deal with Darkseid to give up his own heart and soul to get Lex back, becoming a host for the alien entity, his eyes were sunken and he had the appearance of a walking corpse with blood dripping from his chest wound.
+
+
==Personality==
+
Lionel is just plain evil, as in power-hungry, and self-absorbed. He was ruthless, domineering, and vindictive,<ref>Lionel's personality was just like doppelganger's original personality in {{S1}}, {{S2}}, {{S3}} and {{S4}}.</ref> as he was willing to sacrifice [[Lex Luthor (Earth-2)|his own flesh and blood]] for the sake of power and control, showed contempt towards [[Tess Luthor|his illegitimate daughter]], and had much love and affection for Clark Luthor yet expressed fear and dread towards his adopted son because of his incredible power. While all of these methods for controlling Clark were used in the hopes that Clark would finally kill him and be a son that Lionel can be proud of as well as a rightful heir to LuthorCorp, It frustrated Lionel greatly that despite Clark's ruthlessness and disregard for life, he had not found the courage to kill him. Unlike his doppelganger, Lionel was not afraid to get blood on his hands and was not afraid of staring death in the face.<ref>In ''[[Luthor]]'', Lionel used duel swords laced with [[blue kryptonite]] with Clark and used his own belt to beat Clark. In ''[[Beacon]]'', he personally drove to Suicide Slums to find "Alexander" and remained claim while "Alexander" pointed a gun at him twice. In ''[[Scion]]'', he would have excuted Lois had Conner not rescued her and personally used [[Green kryptonite]] to incapasitate Clark and Conner. In ''[[Finale, Part 2]]'', Lionel has no problem selling his own soul to Darkseid to revitalize Lex.</ref>
+
+
Having a deep regret for letting Clark kill his own flesh and blood in his world, Lionel tried to make amends by trying to bring "Alexander"/Conner to his side even though the first attempt ended with [[Lex Luthor's clones|the genetically engineered version of Lex]] trying to kill Lionel and the second attempt ended with [[Kryptonian/Human hybrid|the hybrid clone of Clark and Lex]] choosing Clark's side instead of Lionel's. When his attempts failed and he was thrown out of LuthorCorp by Tess, he descended into madness trying in wanting to restore Lex and even went as far as to try to have Tess's (or Conner's) heart removed to give to Lex. When this failed and he was on the verge of dying, Lionel refused immortality from Darkseid and gave Darkseid his own soul so that Darkseid would give his heart to revive Lex.
+
+
==Early life==
+
Lionel's earlier life consisted of the murder of his parents for the insurance money that would later create LuthorCorp, his affiliation with the [[Veritas Society]], the murders of the Queens.<ref>Lionel pointed this out to Oliver in ''[[Beacon]]''.</ref> While raising his son Lex, he opted to raise his daughter Tess alongside. In [[1989 meteor shower|the meteor shower]] that rained down on the town of [[Smallville]], Kansas, Lionel was the one who found baby [[Clark Luthor|Kal-El]] in [[Miller's Field]].
+
+
Lionel raised Lex, Tess and Clark together training each of them to be his heir and pitting them against one another in the hopes that one of them would prove a worthy successor to his empire. However, his primary hope was that Clark would prove the most worthy due to his alien powers.
+
+
Due to Lionel's treatment of his children, each of them turned out different: Tess proved the most rebellious and was cut off at some point by Lionel but also started a relationship with Clark behind their father's back, Clark took on a more dotting son role as he was being groomed and trained by Lionel but Clark secretly hated his adopted father and wanted nothing more than to get out from under his control and kill as many people as possible to do it, and Lex branded Clark with [[Luthors|the family crest]] on his arm using [[gold kryptonite]]. In retaliation, Clark murdered Lex with Lionel's approval.
+
+
Lionel used Clark's powers to expend LuthorCorp into a new empire and they took control of [[Metropolis]] by turning it into a dark and depressing city.<ref>The best example ot this was the {{Daily Planet}} turned into [[Daily Planet|LuthorCorp Media]].</ref> In order to accomplish his evil goals, Clark took on the identity of [[Ultraman]], much to Lionel's approval, feeling a secret identity would allow him to get away with his destructive desires and keep the family name unharmed like when Clark murdered the Swanns.
+
+
==Season Ten==
+
+
===Life in Earth-2===
+
+
:''"You could conquer the universe. The man of tomorrow -- [[Clark Luthor]]!"'' - Lionel to [[Clark Kent]], ''[[Luthor]]''
+
+
[[File:S10ep10-0113.jpg|thumb|Lionel duels with Clark.]]
+
When Clark Kent of Earth-1 [[Luthor|accidentally switched places]] with Clark Luthor of Earth-2 using the [[mirror box]], Clark found himself greeted by Lionel in his doppelganger's bedroom with two girls in the [[Luthor Mansion]]. After Lionel lectured Clark, they dueled with swords laced with [[blue kryptonite]].
+
+
[[File:Luthor 0699.jpg|thumb|left|Lionel discovers Tess searching in his office.]]
+
Lionel later caught Tess sneaking around into Lionel's office to get a hold of [[Swann's journal|a journal]] that had information regarding the mirror box. Before having Tess arrested by his guards, Lionel claimed that she was not a worthy heir to [[Luthors|the Luthor name]]. Tess got a parting shot at Lionel and slapped him before being dragged away.
+
+
[[File:S10ep10-0364.jpg|thumb|Lionel in the Fortress.]]
+
When Clark went to the [[Fortress of Solitude]] in the hopes of getting help from [[Jor-El]], Lionel was there and had the Fortress integrated with Earth technology. Lionel stated that he caught Tess trying to located the mirror box, which was odd as he had done all he could to destroy any [[Kryptonian]] artifacts. Clark lied and claimed he asked Tess to help in order to destroy the box, and Lionel then claimed that [[Oliver Queen (Earth-2)|Oliver Queen]] had the box.
+
+
[[File:1010Smallville1424.jpg|thumb|left|Lionel holding the mirror box.]]
+
This was revealed to be a lie and Lionel himself had the Mirror Box. He had instead wanted to locate Oliver and to discover if Clark was going to betray him as he once assumed. Lionel stopped Oliver from killing Clark using {{kryptonite}} rays and a gun, but then instead of helping Clark, Lionel said that he had failed him as a father, and that if he were a true Luthor he would have killed Lionel by now and Lionel blamed himself. Lionel started to beat Clark with his belt as he ranted about how only the strong survive, and how he will be the strongest in this earth, or any other. At this point, Oliver realized that Clark was the "good one" and turned off the kryptonite. When Clark grabed the mirror box and activated it, Lionel was running towards him in the background.
+
+
[[File:1010Smallville1768.jpg|thumb|right|Lionel in Earth-1.]]
+
Unknown to Clark, Lionel made it into Earth-1. While purchasing a newspaper about [[the Blur]], a vendor asked Lionel if he's seen him before. Lionel stated that he's was merely someone who was making an expected visit from [[Earth-2|out of town]]. Guessing that he made it back in the nick of time, Lionel said he wouldn't want to miss "how it all turns out", before walking into a crowd.
+
+
===Life in Earth-1===
+
+
:''"I never intended to live forever. There's only one life I care about. Let my [[Lex Luthor|son]] live."'' - Lionel to [[Darkseid]], ''[[Finale, Part 2]]''
+
+
[[File:S10ep13-0079.jpg|thumb|left|Lionel confronts Tess at the ''Daily Planet''.]]
+
Lionel [[Beacon|researched everything]] to find out more about his [[Lionel Luthor|doppelganger]]. Although he found out that Lex was dead, he discovered Lex was "saved" in the form of [[Conner Kent|Alexander Luthor]]. When Tess ([[Lutessa Luthor]]) was walking to her office, Lionel was sitting there waiting for her. He reached out to her, to be the father that she needed and be there for Alexander. [[File:S10ep13-main.jpg|thumb|right|Lionel with his "son" Alexander.]]He intended on finding Alexander before Tess did and do right by him. Lionel managed to find Alexander in [[Suicide Slums]], staying in an old apartment. He realized that it was him who attacked Senator [[Martha Kent]] in order to kill Clark. Lionel managed to take "back" [[LuthorCorp]] and returned Alexander to LuthorCorp; [[Oliver Queen]] and later Martha confronted him about his actions.[[File:1013Smallville1212.jpg|thumb|left|Lionel at the mansion that was being burned.]] When Alexander thought that Lionel still favored Clark, he decided to do away with both his "father" and Martha. After Lionel was saved by Clark, Lionel watched the Luthor Mansion burned to the ground. As Lionel was in [[LuthorCorp Plaza|his office]] watching the television about Oliver and Martha's victory over the [[Vigilante Registration Act]], [[Chloe Sullivan|someone]] he didn't reconize appeared on his tv then Clark at his office and the two talked about who was a better influence for Alexander, leaving Lionel speechless in anger.<ref>This occured in a deleted scene from ''[[Beacon]]''.</ref>
+
+
For weeks, Lionel [[Masquerade|remained]] in control of LuthorCorp.
+
+
[[File:SV1016-202.jpg|thumb|Lionel searches Cadmus Labs's ruins]]
+
Lionel [[Scion|went]] to [[Cadmus Labs]], finding Tess there as well. He vowed that he would have his "son" Alexander, but Tess showed him Alexander’s "remains". But Lionel discovered she was lying by using the remains of [[Lex Luthor's clones|one of Lex's other clones]] after toturing [[Christina Lamell|Dr. Lamell]] and went to find his "son".[[File:S10ep16-0512.jpg|thumb|Lionel threatens to kill Lois.]] Lionel realized Alexander was now called [[Conner Kent]] and had changed his hair and developed [[Clark Kent's powers and abilities|Kryptonian abilities like Clark]] due to [[Kryptonian/Human hybrid|actually having Clark's DNA as well as Lex's DNA]]. He reached out to Conner, to "remind" him of being like Lex instead of being like Clark as he gave him [[red kryptonite]] in the form of [[Kryptonite ring|a ring]]. Lionel then took Conner to [[Lois Lane]] who was captured because she was going through his files in his office about being a "fake" Lionel. [[File:S10ep16-0734.jpg|thumb|left|Lionel tries to persuade Conner to join him.]]Before he could put an end to Lois by shooting her, Conner whisked her away. He realized that the red kryptonite made Conner more excited in his infatuation with Lois, and then continued to track Conner back to the Luthor Mansion's remains where he had to subdue Clark and Conner with [[green kryptonite]]. He went there to try to remind Conner about the fact he is still [[Luthors|a Luthor]] instead of [[Kents|a Kent]], but Conner remained on Clark's side. [[File:Sv10x16-239.jpg|thumb|left|Lionel visiting Lex's grave.]]Returning to his empire, Lionel was eventually thrown out by Tess who regained control of the company and started tracking every step he maked. Late at night, Lionel paid his respects at Lex's gravesite. As he was leaving, Lionel was approached by Darkseid.
+
+
When Clark Luthor [[Kent|used]] the mirror box to travel to Earth-1, he set out to find Lionel to have his revenge for everything that had been done to him during his life. It was discovered that Tess had the ability to track Lionel's movements through she diverted Clark before he could kill Lionel, only for Clark to attempt to kill Tess for her betrayal.
+
+
[[File:S10e22-003.jpg|thumb|right|Lionel and Tess in PreClox's lab.]]
+
At some point, Lionel used his limitless funds to create the biochemical researching company [[PreClox]] and discovered that Lex had instituted another project deep inside the chambers beneath the Luthor Mansion where Lex had taken [[Lex Luthor's clones|his many clones]]'s best pieces to create the perfected clone but was missing a heart.
+
+
After failing to locate Conner, Lionel launched a plan to capture Tess so that her heart could be removed for Lex. Shortly before the surgery, Tess escaped and [[Finale, Part 2|shot]] Lionel in the chest.[[File:S10e22-004.jpg|thumb|left|Darkseid possesses Lionel.]] Darkseid returned to Lionel offering him the deal that Lionel had previously turned down: to live forever. However, Lionel had never intended to live forever and only wanted Lex's life to be restored, considering him to be the one worthy of his legacy (as his doppelganger was killed by Lex). As per their deal, Darkseid ripped out Lionel's still beating heart and placed it into Lex. After Lex was effectively restored, Lionel's corpse was used as a vessel for Darkseid to combat against Clark but was destroyed in the process; ending Lionel's reign and tyranny once and for all.

==Appearances==
+
* {{S10}}: ''[[Luthor]]'', ''[[Beacon]]'', ''[[Scion]]'', ''[[Finale, Part 2]]''
+
* [[Season 11|Season Eleven]] : ''[[Detective]] ''<span style="font-size:11px;">(flashback only)</span>
+
+
==Notes==
+
* Lionel has mirrored fingerprints to his Earth-1 doppelganger.<ref>''[[Scion]]''</ref>
+
* Darkseid appeared to have a strong attraction to Lionel due to the great amount of darkness Lionel had in his heart,<ref>''[[Scion]]''</ref> so much that Darkseid would make him the same offer twice before accepting Lionel's wishes to revive Lex.<ref>''[[Finale, Part 2]]''</ref>
+
* Unlike his doppelganger interacting with his son Lex, Lionel of Earth-2 never did but he did interact with his daughter Tess,<ref>''[[Beacon]], [[Scion]]'' and ''[[Finale, Part 2]]''</ref> and his son's younger partial clone "Alexander"/Conner.<ref>''[[Beacon]]'' and ''[[Scion]]''</ref>
+
* Lionel and [[Zod]] are the only characters in the [[Smallville (TV series)|series]] to have seen Darkseid's true form.
+
* It is shown that Lionel of Earth-2 doesnt know anything about [[Chloe Sullivan]]. As it is true that he did not know everyone on Earth-1, it could also be proven that the original Lionel may have never wrote about Chloe in the journals like he did with Martha. Either way, Chloe is the only main character of {{S10}} that the alternate Lionel doesn't know about.<ref>In a deleted scene from ''[[Beacon]]''.</ref>
+
* While his doppelganger never did, Lionel of Earth-2 worshiped and admired Lex to the point of [[Scion|showing admiration]] for when his doppelganger was sent [[Descent|plummeting to his death]] by Lex's hand as well as referring to Lex as [[Finale, Part 2|a genius and a visionary]] to Tess.
+
* Lionel of Earth-2 had the first line in [[Finale, Part 2|the series finale]] just like his doppelganger did in [[Pilot|the first episode]].
