Lex Luthor has an Armor Problem

It's funny that baldness is so important to Lex Luthor's ''Brand'' that, even tho' he essentially performs risky tasks with high-tech armor, he rarely, if ever, wears a helmet. That's the most unbelievable part of that character's narrative to me.

Can you imagine if Tony Stark, as Iron-Man did the same thing?
Fans would most certainly call out that improbability immediately.

UPDATE 2024: Lex is STILL using his classic, helmet-less armor in the recent comic
“JUSTICE LEAGUE VS. GODZILLA VS. KONG” #7 

 Go figure.

2026 UPDATE: 

In James Gunn's reveal of Lex's Battle Suit to be depicted in the Man of Tomorrow movie, it appears they wisely provide the arch villain with protective (trasnparent) head gear.

First look at Lex Luthor in ‘MAN OF TOMORROW’.
