Serious Question: What if Lex genuinely reformed and decided to put all of his ruthless business acumen and considerable wealth towards saving the world?
We know why he claims to hate Superman. We know his feelings on human potential. What if he decided to put everything he had towards developing that potential instead inconvencing Superman? I'm talking universities (access to education), agriculture reform (world hunger), employment programs (economic reform and financial stability), the whole shebang, but done in a way where he was helping humanity pull itself up rather than just "giving it a handout" (because it's still Lex). I feel like he's one of the few in DC who could actually make something like this happen. Would anyone be interested in a story like this? No twist, no secret plan, just Lex working to help humanity solve the problems it (can*, and Superman ther to help with the ones it *can't".
