Currently watching Lois and Clark on Netflix and seeing John Shea on screen got me thinking about ol' egg head. The character has been played by a range of actors. It's one of the few roles in any DC property (tv series / film / animated) that they always seem to cast perfectly. But they can't all be the best. Who is the guy you think epitomizes the Man of Steel's greatest nemisis? Presenting your candidates:

Kevin Spacey he is just amazing in any role you put him in. He could even be a better Cena then Cena.

I've got two reasons why Rosenbaum is my favorite Lex: "Onyx" and "Zod"

The fact that he made me believe he was Zod in Lex's skin is brilliant and Onyx is probably the best showcase of lex ever.

Just my opinion of course.

Hackman of course. Rosenbaum 2nd.

LOL. For once, Xero's spamming is justified. Luger WAS once connected to the Superman franchise, albeit as an altenate reality version of Superboy, but whatevs.

Hackman's got the lead by a wide margin so far.

Hackman widens his lead with my vote. Though i was tempted to vote for James Marsters just because he was Spike.
