[edit] History
Lionel Luthor inherited money from his parents after he had them murdered by Morgan Edge. Around the mid-1960s, Lionel used this money to set up a holding company, Luthor Industries, and bought a run-down fertilizer factory in Granville, Kansas.
Lionel slowly turned the plant round, making his first million around 1970, investing profit into buying land of struggling local farmers, and then evicting them and commencing real estate development projects on their land. In the early 1970s, Luthor Industries was re-christened "LuthorCorp" and positioned in central Metropolis in LuthorCorp Plaza. Lionel maintained full control until Lex murdered him by pushing him to his death. However, Lex's inheritance was short lived, as when he went missing, Tess Mercer took control of the company. She later merged the company with Queen Industries.

Security in the building seems to be rather lacking as many people have broken in. Some of these people have been skilled people such as the insurgence team, who were experienced burglars and Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen who got passed security disguised as cleaners, as they were reporters and, therefore, experienced with going under cover.
However, Clark Kent and Chloe Sullivan have got into the building undetected several times [1] Pete Ross was also able to break in to steal Kara's bracelet from Lionel's vault.
