The end has finally come for Superman’s greatest foe in Superman: The Last Days of Lex Luthor (by Mark Waid, Bryan Hitch, Kevin Nowlan, David Baron, Richard Starkings, and Tyler Smith of Comicraft). Lex has accidentally bathed himself in radiation due to tampering with kryptonite, causing his cells to rapidly decay. With known science incapable of addressing his illness, Superman’s inability to not help others could be Lex’s only route to survival. Unfortunately, even the intervention of one of DC’s greatest heroes may not be enough to save one of DC’s greatest villains.Superman: The Last Days of Lex Luthor not only presents a rare character study for Luthor but also reflects one of the Man of Steel’s greatest tales. All-Star Superman (by Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely, Jamie Grant, Phil Balsman, and Travis Lanham) chronicles the Last Son of Krypton’s final days with those he had first come to know and love. Together, Last Days and All-Star explore how Clark and Lex align with and play off each other. Separately, Last Days informs Lex’s persona in ways that All-Star did not without feeling derivative.In All-Star, Superman’s perceived end comes when Lex Luthor sabotages a manned mission to the sun. As expected, the Man of Steel rescues the crew. This puts him in close proximity to the sun, and his body is unable to process the energy fast enough. This leads to the hero experiencing apoptosis, his cells bursting from an excess of solar radiation. As per Lex’s design, Superman is now dying in the most ironic way imaginable – from overexposure to the fuel of his own powers.RELATED: An Underrated Elseworlds Story Featured Superman’s Most Unique Family
