Crisis On Infinite Earths: Every Character Ranked Worst To Best

9. Lex Luthor

Crisis On Infinite Earths
The CW

If there was a Paragon of Villainy, Lex Luthor would have been a shoe-in. The iconic Superman villain returned from the dead when resurrected by the Anti-Monitor, and even though he had similar goals to the heroes (survive), he didn't let that stop him from wreaking some havoc throughout the multiverse in the meantime.

From attempting to destroy every single version of Superman in the multiverse to rewriting reality to make himself the Paragon of Truth and benefiting from the new world's rewrite by being praised as a supposed humanitarian, Crisis On Infinite Earths absolutely nailed the Lex Luthor character and ultimately reminded us of just how good the Arrowverse version is.

Jon Cryer proved himself to be one of the all-time great Luthors during his time on Supergirl last season, but he set a new incredibly high standard with the effortless way in which he pulled off Lex's nefarious schemes.
