How does lex luthor s intellect compare to superman s powers?

The provided evidence discusses only the 1978 Superman film and its cast and crew, and it does not mention Lex Luthor or any comparison between his intellect and Superman’s powers. Without additional verified sources that describe Lex Luthor’s abilities or directly compare them to those of Superman, I cannot provide a reliable answer. For a definitive comparison, consult reputable comic or film references that cover Lex Luthor’s character traits and his interactions with Superman.
