    "That's Lex Luthors. Plural. FOOLS!!!!"

    This was just a fun little project. Some kitbash. Some a lot of work. All fun!

    I give to you my Lex Luthor variant collection:

    Gray overalls:




    As Green Luthor from Challenge of the Super Friends episode "Secret Origins of the Super Friends"




    Super Powers super suit:




    President Luthor:


    Hey Superman! Vote for me and you will get a big surprise.


    Luthor goes to jail:

    Thanks to everybody who helped me with this project.

    I hope you enjoy my customs as much as I do, and, as always, thanks for looking!

    Peace, Love, and Megos!

      Great job. The armor looks amazing!

      And actually, I'm loving Lex in the prison jumpsuit too.

          They all look great but that Super Powers Luthor is COTW material. Also thanks for the Megoey Sundays!

              My favorite is the Super-Powers Luthor. He looks fabulous.

              How did you make his shoulder harness/rig?

                There was one thing that bothered me about that episode.

                Once they interfered in Superman's life, i.e. sending him to a planet with a RED sun, wouldn't that also have interfered with Luthor's origin? If he hadn't met Superboy, he wouldn't have had that accident in his lab, and become a villain.

                By all rights, Luthor should have been erased from existence, or turned into what he would have been without Superboy's influence on his life.

                        I enlarged the kajigger from the Kenner Super Powers Lex Luthor.

                        Enlarging a Super Powers super suit; using a Mattel Retro Lex head; and hands from a DCU super suit Lex. (http://s142.photobucket.com/user/anjhuf/media/IMAG0437_1_zpsxr7tjoyz.jpg.html)


                        Jason Young used it a few weeks ago and earned himself a well-deserved COTW. It inspired me to finally finish my own.

                              Yep, have to agree.

                              The Super Powers Luthor is in contention for one of the most Mego figures never made. That is so perfectly accurate to how it would have appeared in a WGSH line. The only changeup may be heatseal emblems, but when you consider the timeframe the suit was introduced, Mego would have likely followed Mattel and Hasbro back into adhesives.

                              Just fantastic.

                              Powers Brainiac is the big test...
