Fandom

Common Tropes in Fanworks

  • Enemyslash: Superman and Lex are antagonists in most universes, any romantic or sexual relationship usually follows the traditions of enemyslash, or the enemies to lovers trope
  • Dark Themes: because of the nature of their relationship it is not unusual to find many darker themes or elements explored, like violence, non-con and dub-con
  • Alpha/Beta/Omega: although somewhat rare, fics set in the omegaverse usually have an Omega Clark and Alpha Lex
  • Redemption: some sort of redemption arc for Lex, where he is no longer a villain, and thus able to begin a relationship with Clark/Superman
  • Clark not Superman: some fanworks will have Lex developing a relationship with Clark Kent, having no idea of his secret identity his nemesis Superman
