[edit] Notes
- Lex has died three times in the show: one from the Limbo drug (Void) and once while being interrogated by Project Intercept (Fracture). Both times, Chloe Sullivan brought him back to life, and finally Oliver Queen killed him by blowing up his truck (Requiem)
- Lex has been in two separate car accidents involving Clark Kent.
- In Requiem, Lex is presumed dead; buttressed by the fact of his remains being identified in the wreckage of his tractor trailer van and signet ring. It is of note this is a similar scenario that was depicted in Phantom when Lana Lang's remains were identified in Lana's bombed SUV and Lex Luthor was arrested for her murder. In reality, Lana Lang framed Lex by substituting a clone of herself, Model 503, created by Lex Luthor's Project Ares without her knowledge. Then she blew up the SUV, faking her death.
