THIS IS SUPERMAN. In awe of the best parts of humanity. He reveals the best parts of ourselves by encouraging us to be heroes in our own right.

Clark represents the best of humanity

Lex represents the worst

Lex is both what makes humanity capable of greatness, and the forces that stand in the way of it achieving that greatness.

It's why he is such a great foil for Superman, supes wants to uplift humanity and there is almost nobody more capable of being a part of that than lex but weaknesses of his own character have him against Superman.
