Princess Diaries 2 Security Guard Lionel
Angelique Syria
Lena Kieran Luthor[1] (born October 24, 1993)[2] is a billionaire businesswoman, philanthropist, and the ex-owner of CatCo Worldwide Media. She is the daughter of the late Lionel Luthor and the late Elizabeth Walsh, the adoptive daughter of the late Lillian Luthor, and the younger paternal half-sister of Lex Luthor. Lena is also the ex-girlfriend of James Olsen and the late Jack Spheer, and the godmother of Esme.
Following Lex's arrest, Lena took over and renamed her family's company to L-Corp, working to atone for her brother's deeds. She soon struck up a friendship with both Kara Danvers and Supergirl (initially unaware that the two are one-and-the same), becoming an ally to the Superfriends in their battle against her adoptive mother Lillian and Project Cadmus. After being deceived by Rhea into helping Daxamite invaders attack National City, Lena worked with Lillian in a temporary truce to drive off the hostiles. Overtime, her bond with Kara grew deeper with the latter's continued support of Lena's quest to redeem her family name.
Upon learning of her old friend and colleague Samantha Arias' evil split personality alter-ego, Reign, Lena worked to help rid Sam of the Dark Kryptonians' influence, forcing her to use and subsequently reveal her supply of synthesized Green Kryptonite. This put Lena and Supergirl at odds, but the two women set aside their differences to save Earth from the Worldkillers. However, Lena grew to distrust Supergirl after the superheroine tried to coerce James to secretly raid the former's laboratory in search of the remaining Kryptonite.
Lena began secretly experimenting with the medicinal properties of Harun-El with help of Eve Teschmacher until the latter's betrayal. Following Lex's escape from prison, Lena joined forces with the Superfriends and the D.E.O. to stop him and the Children of Liberty, ultimately killing her half-brother for everything he had done. However, Lex revealed Kara's secret identity as Supergirl to his half-sister before dying, leaving a distraught Lena to sever her ties with Kara.
Disillusioned with humanity after multiple betrayals, Lena vowed to "fix" people's flaws using technology and take revenge against those who hurt her. She forcefully acquired Eve's cooperation with her A.I. Hope and altered Myriad for Project Non Nocere to reprogram emotions, but this was thwarted with help from Malefic J'onzz. During the Evacuation of Earth-38, Lena sided with the Superfriends once more and helped power a transmatter portal, (working in conjunction with a quantum tower to slow the wave of antimatter) to open a breach to Earth-1, saving billions of lives.
After the creation of Earth-Prime, Lena retained her Earth-38 memories due to Lex's deal with the Monitor. She still held a grudge against both Lex and Kara, but didn't give up on her project and started temporarily working with her half-brother at Luthor Corp. Even after a visit from Kara to remind her of what once was between them and how it could still be, Lena continued down a dark path with her estranged adoptive family. Nonetheless, Kara's words left an impact and upon realizing who she truly wanted to be, Lena reconciled with her, returning to the Superfriends to stop Lex and Leviathan for good.
When Kara was trapped in the Phantom Zone, Lena and her friends started a way to successfully bring her back while fighting the Phantoms. Lena would seek the truth of her past by traveling to Newfoundland, where she discovered that she possesses magical powers like her late mother. She worked to hone her magic while helping the Superfriends find the seven AllStone Totems before Nyxlygsptlnz, Mitch, and unexpectedly Lex. To end it all, Lena and the Superfriends gathered their old friends to defeat Lex and Nyxly for good. She attended the wedding of Alex Danvers and Kelly Olsen, becoming godmother to their foster daughter Esme.
Lena was born on October 24, 1993[2] in Metropolis to the billionaire Lionel Luthor and Elizabeth Walsh, with whom he was having an affair.[3] In her early childhood, Lena led a quiet, happy life with her mother, whom she adored and looked up to. When Lena was four years old, the two of them once spent the day at a clearing, playing chase together.[4]
Sometime afterwards, Lena and Elizabeth went out to a lake during an overcast day while visiting family and decided to go for a swim. Lena eventually opted to watch her mother from the shore when she suddenly witnessed her drowning. Realizing something was wrong, the precocious Lena froze up in terror, helpless to do anything. After Elizabeth's death, Lena was wracked with guilt over freezing up, feeling her inaction killed her mother and believing the latter would still be alive if she had actively tried to intervene, such as swim to Elizabeth or call for help.[5]
Following this tragedy, Lena was adopted by the Luthor family.[6] However, despite being loved deeply by her half-brother Lex, who made her feel especially welcomed in the new family, and her father Lionel, who considered her his favorite, Lena had a difficult upbringing with her adoptive mother Lillian, who never considered her a "real Luthor" and always favored Lex over her.[7] Also, the truth about Lena's parentage was left unknown to her and she was convinced that she was simply adopted.[6]
In the fifth grade, Lena's boyfriend was lured away from her by her classmate, Cindy Ryan. After months of planning, she took revenge by stealing and exposing Cindy's personal diary to the entire school, publicly humiliating the latter and ruining her life. While Lena would grow to regret this cruel, impulsive act, Lillian was proud of it, seeing it as proof that her adoptive daughter embodied the Luthor traits.[8] Lena attended Mount Helena Boarding School. In 2004 when she was 11, Lena met and befriended Andrea Rojas.[4] During this time, she also became acquainted with Veronica Sinclair, but the two never really got along.[9] Lena had a boyfriend named Taylor for a time, though he was paid by Lillian to end it.[10]
In their youth, Lena and her half-brother were very close, with Lex affectionately referring to her as "The Lost Princess" after the Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanova.[11] Lena frequently sought to impress her brother with her various inventions, which she would keep hidden until they were perfect so Lex couldn't demean them. Lena also grew close to her brother's associate, Mercy Graves, when the latter began a relationship with Lex. Mercy took Lena under her wing, providing her support and advice which the young girl lacked from Lillian; she taught Lena about fashion, etiquette, and even how to shoot a gun. Mercy would also aid Lena in her scientific feats, recognizing her brilliance.[12]
Lena graduated from MIT.[13] During this period in 2012 at the age of 19, she met and befriended Jack Spheer. The two began a start-up in a garage, working to try and find a cure for cancer and other diseases using nanotechnology. After three years, Lena and Jack fell in love and started a romantic relationship.[14]
During Lena's adulthood, Lex grew cold, power-mad, and delusional. When he started targeting Superman, she grew concerned for Lex's well-being and tried to help him, but he ignored her and proceeded with his plans to destroy the superhero, resulting in the deaths of many people.[6][16] Lex's actions and the subsequent backlash worsened Lena's self-perceived existence as a pariah, as she already had to endure much from her connection to the very affluent but now-controversial Luthor family. Thus, Lena strongly desired to be seen as a separate individual and a good person by the general masses.[17] When Mercy left Lex due to his hyper-focus on Superman, she cut off her personal ties to the Luthor family, leaving Lena feeling hurt and abandoned. However, she came to somewhat agree with Mercy's desire for humans to achieve the superhuman capabilities of aliens to prevent any future wars.[12]
In 2016, after Lex was sentenced to 32 consecutive life terms in prison, Lena ceased contact with her adoptive mother,[7] took over as the CEO of Luthor Corp, moved to National City to helm the company, and immediately set about atoning for her brother's crimes.[6] Her relationship with Jack subsequently came to an end. Jack tried to get Lena to stay with him in Metropolis, but she would not be dissuaded and they did not part on amiable terms.[14]
However, she urged that she had nothing to do with the Venture incident, simply wanting to start anew outside of her family, of which Lena has a lot of arduous work ahead of her given the depths of how far the Luthor name sank on account of her brother, and giving the two a flash drive with information on the Venture's destroyed oscillator that a subsidiary of her company had manufactured; she didn't know it then, but the words that Lena imparted to the Kryptonian cousins, prior to handing them the stored digital data, will have a lasting effect on Kara herself and influencing the other woman into making a huge decision. Thus developing a high opinion for Lena from then and later onwards. Later that day she boarded a helicopter. However, before the helicopter could get very far, two drones appeared, controlled by mercenary John Corben, and targeted Lena. Supergirl and Superman intervened, preventing Lena from being shot while airborne. The latter went looking for more drones, while the former (with some difficulty) took out the two angling Lena's chopper, helping it land safely.
The following day, at a presentation unveiling Lena's intention to re-brand LuthorCorp to L-Corp, Kara walks alongside her, trying to convince Lena from carrying on with the renaming ceremony. Lena would not be deterred, explicitly stating that she does not wish her family's company to be remembered as her brother's mere implement that he used as a front in his madness to destroy Superman. While Lena gives her presentation, a number of explosions occur, causing her to run to safety. She encountered a person she initially thought was a police officer, but was revealed to be Corben who was hired by Lex to kill his adopted sister. Alex Danvers helped to hold him off in single combat, but she was eventually overpowered. Before he could escape with Alex as a hostage, Lena near-fatally shot him from behind. The next day, Clark and Kara visit Lena's office and she offers thanks for a positive article about L-Corp published in the Daily Planet. She asks why Kara's name wasn't printed on the byline along with Clark's. Receiving a modest answer from Kara, Lena notes that from the moment of their first encounter, she sensed Kara to bear the presence of a competent journalist, and hopes to see more of her in the future. Kara concedes, leading to her return to CatCo and inform Cat Grant of her desire to take up journalism at the CatCo editorial outlet.[6]
