* AlasPoorVillain: His demise in the movie is downright horrible. He never had control of his short life, and Luthor over-energizing him horrifically twists and mutilates his body and his mental functions, until he enters a VillainousRROD where he can barely form words or move and is reduced to a pathetic shell. Superman holds him and is horrified as Superior-Man dies screaming in agony from the overload.
Added DiffLines:
* VillainousRROD: In the movie version, Lex repeatedly overloading Superior-Man with more fantastic steroids eventually gets to a point where, instead of making him get back up, it just causes him to collapse and then melt into nothing, screaming in agony all the while.

* {{Expy}}: In the animated movie he is a one for one copy of Bizarro Superman from WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries. They both start out as confident copies of the man of steel made by Lex Luther. But over a headed fight and Luther's carelessness for him the copy turns into a dumb abomination that even Superman feels pity for.

* HeroicSacrifice: After Luthor's gambit breaks him and Brainiac reveals that he's not so "reformed" after all, he sacrifices himself... just as Luthor planned, decades in advance, saying, "Checkmate." Except that he faked his death, outfoxing Luthor, and chose to live as an ordinary person instead - something foreshadowed by how Superman-Two had earlier beaten Luthor at chess.

Except that he faked his death, outfoxing Luthor, and chose to live as an ordinary person instead - something foreshadowed by how Superman-Two had earlier beaten Luthor at chess. In the animated film, it's changed into more of a genuine sacrifice that Luthor doesn't foresee, with Luthor being humbled by the experience.

In the animated film, he never fully strays from despite having elements similar to his comic counterpart, he does have more obvious positive qualities such as good intentions and accepts by husband to Lois, showing genuine regret over forgetting their anniversary, as well as remorse after Lois chews him out on purposefully sending Superior Man to his death. Superman's HeroicSacrifice at the end that he doesn't also causes Luthor to have the absolute answer an epiphany about how he's been acting in his own position of power, leading him to everyone's problems, choosing to step stepping down as president and retiring to be with Lois.Lois, while Luthor in the comic had no such epiphany and in fact predicted Superman's sacrifice.

* BaldOfEvil: Wouldn't be Lex Luthor without it. He has a head of thick red hair at the story's start, but it recedes every time there's a timeskip until he's entirely bald. It's more downplayed in the animated movie, where he's decidedly more heroic, making him more of an example of BaldHeadOfToughness.

He ultimately is the force that leads to the collapse of the Superman-led Soviet Empire..... Not that he cares. In classic Luthor fashion, he doesn't care at all about the betterment or independence of mankind, and is only leading the charge against Superman for his own selfish, petty reasons. He actually remarks that he reckons Superman's dictatorship had some good ideas.
