Hi

Ok, I had this question about the extent of confidence between Lex Luthor and Nigel St. John, in the original series.

I always had a feeling that Nigel knew Lex before his ascent from rags to riches. (REF: The Phoenix.."just like the old days")

And, Nigel being an ex-M16 could probably have kept tabs on Luthor, but do you think the series ever clarified, to what extent Luthor kept Nigel in his confidence. Did he tell him everything about his nefarious schemes or only as much as necessary. For example, can we imagine Luthor confiding Nigel on something that is disturbing him personally (though it's hard to see it with Lex's super-ego).

Also did something happen towards the end of season 1, coz suddenly the role of Luthor's 'right-hand man' was assigned to Mrs. Cox.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

I always thought that Mrs Cox was his secretary and Nigel was the right hand man hired because to handle Luthors dirty wor because it seems that whenever something happens and a scheme is foiled it is Nigel who is with Lex and not Mrs. Cox.
