10 Comic Villains You Didn't Realise Actually Won
6. Lex Luthor - New Krypton
In terms of supervillain teams, Lex Luthor and Sam Lane manage to cause some serious chaos in in New Krypton.
The pair manage to kill a surprising number of Kryptonians, start a war between the aliens and humans, and then unleash Doomsday on everyone just to make things a little more interesting.
Somehow, despite all of this, Luthor is literally never punished for his involvement in the misdoings. In fact, the absolute opposite happens. Against all logic, Lex is technically actually rewarded for his actions, as he's freed from prison and made head of LexCorp once more after all of these wrongdoings.
As it turns out, sometimes crime does pay.
