10 Best Superman & Lex Luthor Stories Ever Written

10. Injustice: Gods Among Us

Now admittedly, this isn't a straight forward Superman and Lex Luthor tale as there is far more going on here than the story of two men but the dynamic is such an interesting one, what with their roles being reversed, that it would be remiss not to include it on this list.

After Superman goes power crazy, due to the Joker turning Metropolis into a million tiny radioactive pieces, it falls to Batman to put a stop Kal-El's reign of terror. Along the way, he is helped out by heroes from Earth prime as well as forming an alliance with Harley Quinn but the strangest member of his rebellion is Lex Luthor.

The reason that it's such an odd arrangement is that Lex and Clark are childhood friends and Lex has done nothing over the years to betray Superman's trust. When he is found alive in one of his bunkers after the explosion, Kal is genuinely happy to see him and when Lex agrees to help the Justice League rule over humans with an iron fist it seems as if these two will fight side by side to the end.

So, it comes as quite a shock when he betrays him, especially as it costs him his life.
