Lionel Luthor (Earth-2)

The Earth-2 version of Lionel Luthor in the TV series Smallville appeared in four episodes of the show's tenth and final season. Like his normal universe counterpart, he was portrayed by John Glover.

In "Finale," Lionel has Tess taken captive with the intention to remove her heart and transplant it into LX-0, a clone of Lex manufactured from other clones. However, Tess gets free, shoots Lionel, and escapes. Lionel crawls toward the table with LX-0 on it. When Darkseid materializes, Lionel asks him to restore Lex to life; Darkseid agrees in exchange for Lionel's soul and rips out Lionel's heart and transplants it into LX-0, restoring Lex to life.

Darkseid later uses Lionel's corpse as a vessel to confront Clark. When Clark gains the power of flight, he flies through Darkseid, destroying his vessel and seemingly the villain himself.
