Added DiffLines:

** Though he manages to redeem his public image after getting a presidential pardon for his role in stopping the Justice Lords, which eventually leads to him running for President with a pretty large base of support. It turns out the entire campaign was largely a giant excuse to screw with Superman, who never believed that Lex turned over a new leaf. Lex loses his support again for the final time however after [[spoiler:publicly fusing with Braniac and causing all sorts of chaos. He is put back in jail, and after being broken out, he spends the rest of the series as a an out and out villain hiding away from public view.]]

* AdaptationalJerkass: With regards to being a BadBoss to other supervillains in both the Injustice Gang and the Legion of Doom. Some of this is partially justified through Lex contacting kryptonite poisoning and later on, being implied to go mad from Brainiac's influence in his mind. But at the same time, Lex Luthor in the comics has never been ''this'' unpopular with the other supervillains. His comic book counterpart can get into conflict with other bad guys but is more often than not justified by the other villain acting way out of line. In the DCAU, Lex has done almost everything he can to make himself as unlikable as possible to other villains, from nearly alienating the Injustice Gang with his attitude to shooting Grodd to maiming Goldface for questioning him to threatening Weather Wizard with disfigurement to ''daring everyone in the Legion of Doom'' to make a move against him so he can take away their powers. Not surprisingly, about two thirds of the Legion sided with Grodd against him in their civil war. Comics Lex has never alienated other supervillains to this degree and most bad guys more often than not ''want'' to follow Luthor due to his willingness to benefit them and because he doesn't threaten them like a raving madman. [[note]]However, after many publication years, Lex in the comics did [[ComicBook/SupermanPhillipKennedyJohnson finally catch up to his DCAU counterpart]] when he casually betrayed and killed Manchester Black, a purple haired supervillain, to power Project Blackout, similar to how he sacrificed the purple haired villainessTala in a fatal experiment to try to bring back Brainiac.[[/note]]
