* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'': Lex Luthor fundamentally becomes one partway through the series in the form of kryptonite-induced cancer -- he carried a sizeable lump of it on his person for years so that he would have it whenever he encountered Superman, receiving long-term exposure to its radiation, and suddenly has a seizure while escaping from the Justice League at the beginning of the episode where this is revealed so Superman has to save him. He wakes up in a hospital bed and is informed of his condition, and that it has an uncertain level of terminality -- a later episode shows that he's built a life-support device that he wears constantly which could extend his life for as long as thirty years to as short as thirty minutes. He (or maybe [[spoiler:Brainiac]]) actually manages to cure his own cancer, taking him out of the Evil Cripple category but uses the pretense of his ongoing condition as the justification for an apparent HeelFaceTurn in a long-term gambit to destroy the League and run for President, and it nearly works, too.

IIRC, Dale himself wasn't involved with Rickover and learned the details after the fact.
