he's evil. his motivation is always entirely selfish, which is the definition of evil. that's not to say he never does good things, but he's always looking out for his own interests and no one else's. someone can be evil and never do something that people consider to be evil. it's all about motives.

Lex Luthor is evil. Quite possibly, in my eyes, one of the most pure selfishly evil characters in the DCU.

For the perfect example I would recommend 52. The bastard.

he is quite interesting in that respect
and yes he could be considered evil
and i would certainly call him evil by my own moral standards
but morality is subjective. And if he believes that he is just (which is questionable, and we must ignore the fact he's fictional) then who are we to say that he isnt?
why would our opinion count for more than his?

It's an illustration from the 1978 Children's Dictionary.

Luthor is as ethical corrupt as comic-character can get without becomingsomewhat goony. Sometimes he does stuff that don't even seem to get him some kind of gain, he just do it because he's an arse.
