That Lex Luthor is the main antagonist of Superman It's as true that Batman and Joker can't even see each other. Both characters live a legendary rivalry that has never ended, for which the metropolis megalomaniac is willing to end the life of the Kryptonian once and for all.
While there have been events that have forced Luthor to put himself on the part of the superhero, what he cannot and imagine is that in his most tender childhood he helped him and is not even aware of it. As they collect from ComicBook, Superman: Lex Luthor Special #1written by Joshua Williamson and illustrated by Eddy Barows, is the first issue that the villain's past shows us after the amnesia that Brainiac caused.
In your memories we see how A young lex suffers the anger of his father And, during a walk through Smallville, the child explains that he has an idea for a machine with which to transmit music to space. Lionel, his father, does not accept that his son is smarter than him, which generates clashes with his mother, and in one of the discussions the boy flees from his home.
In the middle of the field, Lex activates his machine with which he sends music in all directions, including Martha's house and Jonathan Kent. The couple was desperate, because the baby they had welcomed did not stop crying and no longer knew how to calm him down, so they consider the possibility of taking him to the doctor. It is a very risky decision, because Doctors could detect extraterrestrial origin of the creature, but the music enters through the window and Clark is the only one who listens to it.
The melody manages to calm Kal-el, which is a relief for the Kent, at the same time that Lex ends up a head and totally alone. In this way, without knowing either of them, they already maintained an ephemeral contact at an early age and with Luthor helping to protect real identity of which in the end would be his greatest enemy. It is currently available Superman: Lex Luthor Special #1 For reading.
