Lex's abilities are; He is one of the smartest men on Earth, able to invent technological marvels or manipulate entire nations. He believes in brute force and is an unskilled fighter relying on weapons and armour.

Lex Luthor may be the most gifted man alive but instead of using his supreme intellect and skills for the better of mankind, the sociopath has continually sought power and influence without regard for the pain and suffering he causes. The gifts are also wasted on his single-minded hatred of a more pure and noble man, especially given his alien origins.

-Joker

Joker's real name is unknown as it has never been mentioned in any of the comics.

The Joker's special abilities; though not especially strong or skilled in fighting, the joker is nonetheless a deadly combatant. Previously he has demonstrated adeptness at chemistry, concocting his own poisonous Joker Venom, a weapon of mass distraction that leaves it's victims with a death-rictuses resembling his own maniacal leer. The Joker often wields deadly joke props or gags such as an acid-squirting flower or BANG! proclaiming flag pistol that doubles as a spear gun. However, he also plays the straight man in his blackly comedic campaign of terror and will use conventional weapons.

The Joker is undeniably the most dangerous and unpredictable foe Batman has ever encountered. He literally reinvents himself each morning, concocting deadly new laugh-riots to bedevil the Dark Knight and his allies. While safely confined within the impregnable wall of Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane, the Joker has spun investigating psychiatrists various yarns concerning his troubled origins. Most of his tales can be dismissed, but few fats remain that give some insight into how this leering lunatic came into being.

Encountering the Joker was the very worst thing that could have happened to young and impressionable Arkham Asylum psychiatrist Dr. Harleen Quinzel.
