The crashed Kryptonian ship

As said, if this proves to be true, this isn’t the first time when Warner Bros tried to make Lex Luthor a Kryptonian (or a Kryptonian descendent). And, if this proves to be true, the studio actually has set this up in Man of Steel.

While Batman v Superman is regarded as the kick-off point of the DCEU, Man of Steel had its fair share of Easter-Eggs. And one of them was in the Fortress of Solitude itself – the opened hibernation pod. Of course, everybody believed that the pod might just introduce Supergirl into this shared universe – but this makes no sense, since this means having two basically identical superheroes in the DCEU. So what if that pod contained another Kryptonian, who found a way out and blended with all the Earthlings?

While Man of Steel can be considered a flawed movie, we can’t believe that Zack Snyder placed such a huge Easter-Egg without having at least the intention of going somewhere with it. And since it doesn’t make sense having Supergirl, what if…?

What if the Kryptonian in that pod married and Earth woman, had kids, and those kids had their own kids, and so on? This would be a pretty good origin story, which would explain how such a young Lex Luthor (Jr.) leads one of the most powerful tech-based organizations on Earth. He already had the advanced Kryptonian knowledge in his blood – all he needed to do is access it.
