I think the difference is that Lex really does want to rule the world--he knows he'd be good at it--whereas Sam is more, rule the world? Why would I want to do that? I think of Lex as thriving on drama, where everything is turned up to eleven because otherwise he gets bored, whereas Sam could totally deal with a life that was only 25% drama (though he is lying to himself about normal; 100% normal, at least at this point, would kill him quickly).
