Title: Lex Luthor's Look Post by: Bill 9000 on April 22, 2005, 04:04:05 PM I've been trying to decide which way I should draw Lex Luthor for his Supermanica entry. What do you folks think?
Title: Re: Lex Luthor's Look Post by: VRLowKey on April 22, 2005, 07:03:40 PM He should be drawn in simple button-shirt with pants and black shoes. The face should emphasize that he has red eyebrows but no head hair at all. The shape of the head should be almost egg-shaped but with just enough strength in the jaw to suggest aggressiveness.
The clothing would be from his origions as his own henchman. The origional Luthor had red hair. The head shape is from the way that, in the '70s, some writers made a point of saying that Luthor was a Scorpio, and as Dickie Smothers and Jonathan Winters know, Scorpios are unredeemably evil.

Title: Re: Lex Luthor's Look Post by: Johnny Nevada on April 22, 2005, 09:24:50 PM I voted "purple and green costume." (Interesting "business suit and tie" wasn't an option...think he wore that in a few 50's stories, yes?)
Title: Re: Lex Luthor's Look Post by: TELLE on April 23, 2005, 01:50:02 AM Yeah, prison gray all the way ...

I know I do. Title: Re: Lex Luthor's Look Post by: Brainiac44 on April 24, 2005, 06:09:35 PM I voted purple and green but updated - nothing as drastic as Brandon though... :roll:

What do you folks think? The battle suit would be a nice change of pace if for no other reason that it has never been seen on screen. Luthor in a three piece suit was seen way back in Superman vs Atom Man and I think we got Luthor in prison gray in Superman IV. The lab coat is just too cliche of mad scientist to even be on the table unless you really want a campy feel for the new Sueprman movies (IMHO bad idea) Title: Re: Lex Luthor's Look Post by: Bill 9000 on April 28, 2005, 12:52:13 PM Well, I guess by looking at the tally, it's Luthor in his purple & green uniform that's the winner.
Title: Re: Lex Luthor's Look Post by: Gernot on May 27, 2005, 08:33:33 AM I voted for the jumpsuit, too, though it was a hard decision! I also wanted the battlesuit! ;)
As far as the business suit goes, did Luthor wear that before or after Adventures of Superman aired? I'd've loved to have seen Luthor as a regular villian on that show! He could've been behind so many of the shows (the refrigeration unit, pulling the meteor down to crash into Earth, so much more)! I raised this question on a George Reeves Yahoo club, and someone posted that due to the low budget of the show, it's unlikely they'd've hired another actor (even with a cheap skull cap)! Gernot... Title: Re: Lex Luthor's Look Post by: llozymandias on October 22, 2005, 02:01:25 AM Actually i would choose all of the above. Replace the green & purple uniform with the business suit though. When Lex is in prison, the prison grays. When he is not in prison the business suit. The lab coat, when he is doing lab work. If Lex were to wear a lab coat all the time, he would look more like a pharmacist. The battlesuit when he needs it.
