It’s unknown what happened to her husband, but eventually, only Lena and Lori were left, taking care of each other. In a way or another, Lena managed to fend for herself: she married an unknown man, and she had a daughter from him, Lori. Plus Lex, who needed money to start his corporation, took all the money from the insurance for himself, leaving his wheelchair-bound sister to take care of herself. Since her mother Laetitia died when she was still a child, she grew up with her father and her older brother Lex, but the latter eventually started hating Lionel and left as soon as he could Lena, who was already paraplegic at the time (it’s unknown if she was born like this or if this was the result of an accident), was the only one to take care of her father, and when he died of a heart attack, she was devastated by it. In this new reality, she was the last daughter of Lionel Luthor, a drunken man who lived in Smallville, Kansas. Obviously, after Chrisis on Infinite Earths Lena Luthor had her story undergo some major changes, as Earth-1 was erased from existence and she was reborn on New Earth. From that moment, Lena desperately tried to redeem her criminal brother, succeeding at least in becoming the one person in the world he loved and protected. She became a simple librarian, and she had a son from Jeff, Val, but when her mental powers finally manifested, Superman was forced to reveal to her the truth about Lex, so that he could convince her to undergo brain surgery and have her life saved. As a young woman, Lena Thorul met Jeff Colby, fell in love with him, and eventually married him. It was unavoidable, the moment Linda/Kara became Supergirl, that Lena was involved in her and her cousin’s adventures in a way or the other, but anytime Lex was present, he did everything in his power to prevent the girl to learn about her true family, receiving even help from the two Kryptonians in this facade. There was something bonding the Luthor family to the House of El, however: Lena attended Midvale High School, where she met the one who would have become her best friend, Linda Lee, who was actually Kara Zor-El, the cousin of her brother’s nemesis Superman. Growing up, Lena was completely unaware of both her latent powers and her true parentage to Lex Luthor. The Luthors changed their surname in Thorul, simply scrambling the letters, believing that doing so they would have protected Lena from Lex, but they didn’t know that her older brother had already influenced the life of the girl (even if not purposefully) as, when she was little more than a toddler, she had snuck into Lex’s room, stumbling upon one of his early experiments, an alien device he called the Space Brain: upon touching the thing she saw as a weird toy, Lena unlocked some psionic abilities she would have developed only in adulthood. She was but a baby when her older brother, Lex Luthor, became a world-famous criminal, and her parents, ashamed of what Lex was doing, decided to leave Smallville and to change their names so that their little daughter would have never been linked to the madman terrifying the world when Lena grew up since she had some memories of an older brother, she was told that he had died while climbing a mountain. Lena Luthor originally appeared on Earth-One, as the daughter of Jules and Arlene Luthor.
