[quote=@Vandy]Well I mean, Lex IS a bad guy. He is the bad guy that everyone thinks is a good guy, sure he is leading the Justice League but he is Lex Luthor. He's doing it to further his agenda. I can dial it down some I guess but I'm not going to play Lex as a good guy or a "misunderstood" business man. He's selfish and doing what he thinks will further grow his power, that's who he is. I plan to have all his criminal stuff blow up in his face, lose the Justice League, go full evil, truly try to redeem himself and become a better person, fall back into old habits. I don't want him to be bleeding heart redemption story yet when he hasn't been beaten into that or have a life changing experience for that to happen.[/quote]

If you play Lex without an ounce of nuance all you're going to do is play a caricature of Lex.

You have to bear in mind that Lex himself doesn't consider himself a bad guy - he thinks he's a good guy. Nobody walks around thinking they're a bad guy (except maybe Thanos) otherwise they wouldn't do anything at all. Nobody is suggesting you play Lex as a hero. Just that you remember in his own story he is the protagonist and that at this point in the story he's at the top of his game. The Justice League are the undisputed premier superhero team in the world and LexCorp is doing well.

You have an opportunity to do something other than Superfriends Lex. Make use of it.
