Talk:Lionel Luthor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Lionel's overly vague character in Smallville.
In Smallville there's more then a couple times that Lionel's character's motives and knowledge is brought into question. Among them, when Lionel is "blind" it's later known he did lie about it at some time, however when he regained his sight is not know, and it's possible back then he had seen Clark's powers. It's also possible that he knew of Clark's powers after "Transference". As well as becoming "good' from the aftermath of "Transference" is unknown if he had changed of if he was aiming to get out of jail. (Claiming to be good but manipulating Jason to search for the artifact, then blaming Lex for giving him the map, when it's clear that Lionel gave him the map.) He changes back to "evil" mostly due to Lex's intervention, but as with his "blindness" he only revealed the truth when it was the most beneficial or when it was obvious he couldn't hold up the charade.
The very ambiguous nature of Lionel's character might be worth noting as it's placed over the whole article but the length of the deceptions and the skill in executing them are beyond remarkable and deserve it's own paragraph as to his personal nature.--Kinglink 22:30, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Statement removal
I removed the statement "is unknown if he had yet built the Luthor Mansion on the edge of town" as in one episode, Clark mentions that he remembers from when he was little the bulldozers and heavy machinery puttihg the house together for weeks. That means that the house had to have been built after the meteor shower.--Esprit15d 15:41, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Not to mention that if you visit the Smallville site "town map" Luthor manor is all the heck away on the farthest corner of the map. It takes forever to scroll to find it. -User:Johnnyfog
Would it be prudent to change "During the '90's, at which point Superboy was introduced, Lex Luthor had cloned himself into a new body, which had long red hair and beard. This, of course, predated Glover's Lionel Luthor" to "During the '90's, at which point Superboy was introduced, Lex Luthor had cloned himself into a new body, which had long red hair and beard. This look, of course, was the inpiration for Glover's Lionel Luthor's on the show."... or something like that.

- Check other TV series characters such as Sydney Bristow or Jack Bauer. —Lesfer (t/c/@) 23:15, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
I love them...could you make this one look like those??--201 05:09, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Errr... I copypasted one of those you recomended but it doesn't work. The one I copypasted previously can't be that wrong... it's the one being used for Lex Luthor (Smallville). However, I wouldn't mind if you fix the one I took from Jack Bauer. It does look cooler. I don't know, you're the expert.--201 08:23, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
