First i want to thank all those that are answering my many questions, just getting back into the game after at least a decade. Just got a JLU booster and want to make sure I got this right'
Lex Luthor gets replaced with the Flash when KOed, so is the +10 added to the opposing players points for KOing the figure? If you don't play for points then its a moot point, correct?

I think the (+10) before the power means you have to pay an additional 10 points when you build your force, if you want to be able to use that power. If flash is then KO'd your opponent would score victory points for the higher point cost of the two figures. In this case 40 points for Lex Luthor.
You can only do it once because you can’t pay the 10 points for Flash to have that power since he is brought in from outside the game.
Replacement is from the Sideline, not outside the game unless the effect says otherwise.

21.12 Replace/Replacing Characters
Certain effects allow a character on your force to be replaced with one or more characters from your Sideline. These effects always use the word “replace.” When characters are replaced, the character on the map will be swapped with one or more characters from your sideline.

19.2b Optional Traits
Optional traits are trait abilities that only exist if the player chooses to pay the additional cost as indicated on the HeroClix card underneath the star symbol when adding the character to your starting force. Unlike Point Value Traits, Optional Traits are indicated by a white star within a black background. The point value also has a plus or minus symbol (+/-) in front of it. This additional cost can be paid only once and does not increase or decrease the game element’s point value during the game, but does alter what your opponent scores when KO’ing that game element.

Since Lex isn't KOed, the 10 points isn't scored when he's replaced, nor should it transfer to Flash. I believe the only way to score the 10 points is to wipe your opponent.

Lex is replaced after the trait is used, so yes, you're only going to be used once.
The clarification in the Comp that you can only pay once is because some optional traits are things like Sword Bearer in X of Swords, and people would absolutely pay for that multiple times if there wasn't a rule against it.
