Alexis Luthor is a character from Legion of Super-Heroes and originally a friend of Superman, though she was always spoiled and selfish.
Biography[]
She would only turn antagonistic after Superman began to try and break ties with her in order to help the Legion deal with supervillains, unwilling to stand by and let Superman be a hero Alexis decided to "get rid of the competition" by attacking the Legion with the aid of her hi-technology and even attempted to kill Superman after he rejected her once again.
Yet in the explosion caused by her failed attempts to damage Superman her hair fell off (a subtle reference to the Golden Age origin of Lex Luthor's baldness) and she blamed Superman for her humiliation - as well as her subsequent imprisonment for her crimes.
When last Alexis was seen she was still in prison and clearly still holding a grudge against Superman, despite him having done everything he could to reason with her. Alexis was supposed to have a role in the second season working for Imperiex alongside Lightning Lord, ultimately redeeming herself by betraying him and helping to defeat him, earning her a high political position. However, the WB Network wanted fewer female characters on the show, and as a result this plan was scrapped.
