History
Luthor Corp was founded by the Luthor family in Metropolis. At some point, the company was passed on to Lex and Lena Luthor, with the former acting as Luthor Corp's main representative and CEO. Their mother, Lillian Luthor, became the director of Luthor Foundation, one of the company's subsidiaries.[2]
Since the D.E.O. is a subsidiary of Luthor Corp,[3] J'onn J'onzz uses that as partial inspiration to create the Tower.[2]
As an employee of Luthor Corp, Querl Dox answers to Lex Luthor; when Brainy discussed the destruction of D.E.O. National City headquarters with his boss, Lex laughs, saying that it is little more than a tax write-off.[4]
Lena reasons with Andrea
Via transit, Lena and Kara Danvers arrive here so Lena can make a protective suit for Supergirl. They leave before the suit is finished. When they return bringing Eve Teschmacher, Supergirl goes into Obsidian Platinum to dissuade people from using it. As she was helpless with her mind in VR, Lena protected her from attack from Acrata. Supergirl then reunites Eve Teschmacher's mother with Eve, as Lena and Kara reconcile their friendship and decide to try to stop Lex's schemes.[5]
