Wanted legacy/villain: Lex Luthor
RP sample:
If there is one thing Lex Luthor always knew, it's that he should never assume Superman was going to be gone forever. He has been around too long to assume his hated foe was to be gone every single time he does appear to be. The citizens of Metropolis honestly are fools to put their faith in an alien that disappears all the time when they should be putting their faith in him. He's always around.
Looking over Metropolis in his office at LexCorp, Lex contemplates recent events. When he got word that various heroes were disappearing, he made his own plans to make sure he can get in one last fight with the Alien the public calls Superman. He wanted to be the one to kill him, so he set up a fake weapons shipment, then manipulated the whole scenario so that Superman is lead to a place of his choosing, where their final confrontation will happen. But fate decided to take Superman just when he was about to win, to finally end their long standing rivalry. And while at first he was angry, Lex realized he can use this to his advantage. And not just with building his business empire until he has his hands in nearly everything, he also went to get his Warsuit a new paint job.
"Blue and Red, sir? Why?" asked one of his assistants, to which Luthor smirks and answers her.
"Because, the city does need a Superman, and who better for the job than me?" Lex smiles as he gets to work on repainting the Warsuit. Metropolis will finally recognize him as the real Superman.

Biography
Lex Luthor's History until now
When the disappearance of the worlds heroes began, Luthor realized eventually Superman would disappear too, and he didn't want his archenemy leaving without him saying so. So he set up Superman to challenge him one last time, which involved an illegal trade deal of chemicals that was going to be administered to the people of Metropolis, and he purposely led a trail of breadcrumbs all the way to somewhere of his choosing. And like he planned, Superman traced it all to him and found him in his Warsuit, ready to go one more time with his hated foe.
The battle was one of their most intense, but just when he had Superman on his knees, and he was about to finally kill him, Superman disappeared, denying Lex his final victory. But like any refined, classy man, he moved on, glad that Superman was gone, even if it wasn't by his hands. That still means that he can do whatever he wants now.
The 5 years since that day has been him basically expanding his business power until he has shares in every business in the city. He has also decided to modify his Warsuit, give it a new paint job, and when crime started rising, went out to inspire hope in the people as "Superman". This is all so he can basically get unanimous love by the people of Metropolis so they don't see the shady deals that goes on behind the scenes. For he plans to let the whole world know that he will be the champion they want.

[Weapon information]
○ Weapon name: Weapon explanation and description, Include factors such as range, piercing strength, etc.
[Other item information]
○ Lex Luthor's Warsuit: When he feels he has to fight hand to hand, he will turn to his trusty Warsuit. The original one was created on Apokolips as a gift by Darkseid, but he has had many others over the years. They all have one thing in common: they are all built to fight Superman. Thus they have a lot of weapons and systems that use Kryptonite.
The Suit has the following abilities:
○ Superhuman Strength: While not as strong as Superman under normal conditions, it can be a match when Superman is weakened by the kryptonite weapons. It can easily overpower Batman and Deathstroke.
○ Superhuman Durability: The alien armor is able to survive direct blows from Superman, however it can still be destroyed by the Man of Steel eventually.
○ Flight: Normally through thrusters in the feet.
○ Force Field: Generation all across the armor and seemingly unprotected head from the torso of the powered armor. Or as an energy shield from the left gauntlet. Combined with the armor itself, it creates enough defensive protection to survive Superman's godly strength.
○ Energy Projection: Lex uses an arsenal of kryptonite to exploit their ability to weaken Kryptonians; allowing Lex to even the odds against the otherwise invincible Superman. The most recent version only has green Kryptonite blasters housed in the palms of his hands
○ Energy Blade: Housed in the right gauntlet, made out of kryptonite fueled plasma.
○ Kryptonite Energy Spikes: Under armor of the right arm.
○ Kryptonite Weapons: Lex sometimes carries around a large spear or axe with the blade of the weapons made out of kryptonite.
○ Kryptonite: Lex Luthor always has Kryptonite on hand in case someone like Superman shows up. Luckily he learned his lesson and carries the chunk around in a lead lined case so he doesn't get poisoned.
[Ability information]
○ Genius Level Intellect: Luthor's intelligence is nearly unrivaled, making one of the smartest minds on Earth. His many plans and plots to attack, maim, and generally bring ill will towards Superman were all subjects to a major plan to find a way to end the idea of Superman as well as the Kryptonian himself. Luthor has solved complicated equations in a few minutes and holds a myriad of masters and degrees. He's found cures for diseases in deep thought and found ways to better mankind while still profiting from its destruction.
○ Business Management: Lex Luthor is one of the most shrewd businessmen in the world, a trait that has earned him an immense fortune second only to entrepreneurs like Bruce Wayne and Steve Dayton. Unlike Wayne however, Luthor is not above using cutthroat tactics, unethical practices and illegal operations to maintain the success of his business empire. At the height of Lexcorp's power, Lex Luthor virtually owned every business enterprise in the city of Metropolis.
○ Political Science: Lex Luthor's corporate skills applied just as sharply in the political arena as they did in the boardroom. As President of the United States, he groomed the best candidates to serve as his cabinet members and knew the intricacies of bureaucratic politicking as well as any other former Chief Executive.
○ Leadership: Although Luthor's tenure as president ended in scandal, he successfully guided the nation during the massive alien invasion. He's led a large amount of supervillain teams and done so quite effectively.
○ Science: Lex has solved complicated chemical equations in seconds. He understands the variety of powers associated with the human metagene and manipulated it for his own purposes. He claims he found a cure for cancer as well as AIDS but holds them in his personal notes to better bank on it's research.
○ Hand-to-Hand Combat (Basic): Lex Luthor is also trained in hand-to-hand combat, though his personal Amazon fighting instructors consider him a sub-par combatant with poor form. He has single-handedly fought with Nightwing and Batman, although he only won these fights due to such advantages as Nightwing being drugged and him still wearing parts of his old armor when he fought Batman.
[Weakness information]
○ Massive Ego: Lex Luthor has a huge ego, and is arrogant enough to think he can't lose, even if he is beaten many times before. Well most of the time he gets away, so it can be a case of losing battles, but he would likely say he'll always win the war.
○ Cannot Comprehend his Foes: Lex has issues comprehending the motives of those he fights. He always has glossed over the idea of Clark Kent as Superman as in his mind, why would any god want to be someone like Clark?
○ Human: Lex Luthor outside of his Warsuit is just as vulnerable as any average human. Lex tries not to be put in these situations, but sometimes even his mind can't forsee everything.
