Out of all the major villains in Superman's rogue's gallery, Lex Luthor is his ultimate opponent and has been in several live-action DC properties.
In almost every major Superman live-action adaptation, Lex Luthor is never far behind, being one of the Man of Steel's greatest villains for over 80 years. Wherever Krypton's Last Son appears, his extensive rogue's gallery follows him around. From major antagonists like Lex, Brainiac, Doomsday, Metallo, Parasite, and General Zod, Kal-El's mythology has some very dynamic and powerful foes he goes up against regularly.
Scott James Wells/Sherman Howard For his first major TV show, Lex was a recurring antagonist on Superboy, focusing on a younger Clark Kent as a superhero, played by John Haymes Newton. But after Superboy season 1, Newton was replaced with Gerald Christopher, and that wasn't the only major role the show ended up recasting. Apart from having two different actors for young Superman, what makes Superboy different from every live-action Lex Luthor iteration is that it was the first to recast Lex.
Jesse Eisenberg After the DCEU kicked off in 2013, Jesse Eisenberg was cast as Lex in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Zack Snyder's Justice League. Curiously, BvS director Zack Snyder almost picked Bryan Cranston for the role, which would've been an interesting comparison to every live-action Lex Luthor, though Eisenberg's version has its merits. Snyderverse Lex Luthor was yet another young take on the Superman foe, but a bit more unhinged than other iterations.
