Answer 1

she is sold in a general whore house in my city!After superman make her father go bankrupt they move to afghanistan and as luther is a bad guy he sold her daughter

Answer 2

There was an issue where Lena (in her Metropolis persona) decided that she had to become human in order to understand human experience, so she did, and Jimmy Olsen took her home with him.

After that (I am not sure if there was a direct causal connection) the B13 virus was wiped out so that Metropolis reverted from the City of Tomorrow to what it used to be. This was probably a residuum or Crisis, or Zero Hour, or some such retcon (retroactive continuity) nip-and-tuck.

I think they HAD to eliminate the original Lena Thorul (an anagram of Luthor) who was really his sister and had telepathic abilities, because the way Luthor cared for her and tried to protect her from ever learning that she was sister to such a criminal was his one contact with humanity, and showed that he had a little human feeling and decency inside.

They wanted to make the new Luthor not just hating Superman and wanting revenge for that reason, but utterly selfish and evil before he ever met Superman. So they eliminated the sister and made Lena his child that Lex would use as another pawn in his schemes.

I was happy for Jimmy, because Lena was such a nice girl, and the right one for him. I don't know if it has lasted. The story was written in such a way that she may have died at the end; she didn't seem to know that becoming human meant having to die.

Or maybe it was just that since she became human so suddenly that she didn't have any antibodies to diseases, oslt. She might even have died from having the all B13 virus in her; that might be how it was removed from the city, though if that was the case, I missed the issue. I don't think they made it explicit, they just sort of implied it and let the readers draw their own conclusions so they wouldn't have some readers emailing them and saying that the story stunk. Everybody would think that it came out the way they liked. Pretty lazy writing, if you ask me.

Answer 3

Lex Luthor did not have a daughter Lena was is his sister in the DC comic series. She had telepathic powers they were seperated when she was a child. Years ago! before my time.

But Lex's daughter Lena was part of the Brainiac 13.

Some writer will write her back in.

Answer 4

This is a great question. But the answer is conjecture at best unless she appears in the Superman or 52 books. Last I recall she was reduced to infancy. So perhaps after the last time Luthor was arrested, she was placed into state's custody?

She might have even been "written out" after the events of Infinite Crisis.

Personally I would love to see her return as the pre-crisis version of Luthor's sister, not his daughter.

Answer 5

Lena Luthor according to Wiki

Original version
Lena Luthor was originally Lex Luthor's younger sister, appearing irregularly in DC Comics' from 1961 to 1975. Lena had empathic abilities.

After Lex became evil, his family changed their last name in shame to the anagram 'Thorul'. As a result, Lena never knew she had an older brother, as Lex Luthor himself (with occasional help from Supergirl and Superman) worked to keep her from learning the truth.


Modern Version
Post Crisis on Infinite Earths, Lena Luthor is the child of Lex Luthor and Countessa Erica Del Portenza. She was named after a childhood friend of Lex's, who had been killed by their foster father, Casey Griggs. After Lena's birth, Lex took advantage of Countessa Erica's wish to be unconscious at child birth by keeping her permanently drugged and unconscious at his corporate headquarters, not wishing to share his daughter's love with anyone else.

However, when Brainiac 13 arrived from the 64th century, a still-infant Lena was given to him by her father in return for control over the B13 technology that had infected Metropolis. She returned to visit Lex Luthor during the Our Worlds at War crossover, where she had apparently been aged to adolescence by Brainiac 13. Lena played a sneaky role during the event, helping Luthor and his allies beat Imperiex by feeding her father information while secretly manipulating events to benefit Brainiac 13. At the end of the crossover, Brainiac 13 and Imperiex are both destroyed, and Lena is regressed to infanthood and returned to her father by Superman.

In the Superman's Metropolis miniseries the artificial intelligence controlling the B-13 technology believed itself to be Lena Luthor. When it created a human body (female, but bald) to persue a romantic relationship with Jimmy Olsen, Superman confronted her with the real Lena Luthor, making her realise her personality was a computer simulation of Lena's.

Answer 6

When Lex was President, he left Lena in care with a nanny who was in fact a member of The Linear Man. Lex's attention towards Superboy who was in fact his son. Lena became a memory and no one haven't seen her since then.
