Who's Who in the Superman Comics

LexCorp Towers

The double L - a significant sign of the ego that will continue in the Luthor lineage - is now the tallest structure in the world, measuring 307 stories. It is the center of Luthor's corporate Empire and the heart of Metropolis. From his office in the center of the two spires that create the tower, Lex can see to it that the trains run on time. In truth, he can watch anything that runs. All of the new futuristic technology is monitored from the Tower and with this the power to shut it all down. Spread throughout the city, the TelLEx booths provide a variety of services to their users. Instant telephone, Internet access, and an ATM all rolled into one neat little package that is monitored by LexCorp. Equipped will all manner of defense systems from robotic sentries (MOS #101) to mutable glass windows, (AOS #579) this is one fortress even the Man of Steel is unable to penetrate undetected (He tried in MOS #101).

When Lex Luthor became President of the U.S.A., he convinced Talia (daughter of Ra's Al Ghul) to become the new CEO of LexCorp (ACT #773).

During the penultimate battle between Lex Luthor and the combined forces of Superman and Batman, Luthor used a boom tube in order to escape. The aftercharged energy destroyed the frame of LexCorp Towers, and the megastructure collapsed. After years, there no longer is a LexCorps Tower looming over the Metropolis landscape (Superman/Batman #6).
