LexCorp

LexCorp is a fictional multinational corporation in the DC Comics universe, founded and led by Lex Luthor. It is headquartered in Metropolis and features prominently as part of Superman's milieu. Across comics and various media, LexCorp is depicted as a large conglomerate with diversified interests in technology, energy, defense, pharmaceuticals, and media, reflecting Luthor's goal of influence over industry and politics.

The company is characterized by rapid innovation and expansive corporate reach, often depicted as ethically controversial. It engages in research and development, weapon systems, and strategic investments. In many storylines it uses corporate power and espionage to advance Luthor's aims, posing a challenge to heroes and rival corporations such as Wayne Enterprises. The public face sometimes presents LexCorp as a driver of progress, while the private conduct is more ambiguous.

In post-crisis and various alternate continuities, LexCorp's fortunes are tightly tied to Luthor's personal rise and fall as Metropolis' dominant power broker. The brand has been dissolved, renamed, or reorganized in different arcs, but the LexCorp umbrella often reappears with new subsidiaries or corporate branding that carry forward Luthor's influence in politics and business.

LexCorp appears across comic books, animated series, and live-action adaptations, serving as a recurring narrative device to explore themes of genius, ambition, and the ethical limits of technological power. It is inseparable from Lex Luthor's identity and his rivalry with Superman, making LexCorp one of the enduring icons of the Superman mythos.
