The problem--no, a problem, because there has never only been one problem with Lex--has always been that the boy has always been prone to spite. He is bitter, and he is hateful, and though that may only mean that he is Lionel's son, he is also his mother's son, and that is where it falls apart. Where he has Lionel's brilliance, his hunger, he also inherited his mother's softness. What that has done is create a boy so desperate for daddy's attention and love that he uses his considerable ability to act out.
It's pathetic. He is so capable, and he wastes it. Lionel does not hate his son, but he is so terribly disappointed in him.
"Is this what I wanted? Do you think, Lex, that there has ever been a man to ask that that does not already know the answer?"
