With each chapter he advances first his motivation, then his name, then his empire and working with Waller. They are going to surround us with the Lex Luthor that we know. brilliant move the writers make to make Alex have an evolution and become Superman's nemesis 👌
Most likely Waller and Task Force X are discredited while Lex appears to save the day, allowing him to get out from under Waller's thumb and be a threat in his own right. Waller being a political cockroach sees a career setback until she manages to work her way back up with Project Cadmus.
