Spoilers "Superman & Lois" Season 1 spoiler discussion!
- Thread starter The Realist
- Start date
Given the way Derek was talking about being brought back from the dead, and that he apparently had a relationship with Leslie, I'm wondering if Edge isn't just giving people Kryptonian powers, but Kryptonian minds somehow. And, further, if that'll tie in with Captain Luthor, and it'll turn out his Earth's Kal-El didn't turn evil, but had his mind replaced with a General Zod-type by Edge.
Interesting, but a stretch. I got the impression that Leslie had seduced Derek into submitting to the X-kryptonite experiment that gave him his powers.
It will interesting what, if any connection, Captain Luthor has to Lex. We have seen on his Earth Sam and Lois Lane look exactly like the versions on Earth Prime. So it’s not merely an Alternate Earth were everyone looks different with similar names.
That was my original impression, too, but I think David cgc’s theory (which Serveaux also alluded to) seems quite plausible.
If that's the case, then why did Derek commit suicide? Because he was sharing his mind with one of the resurrected, and did not like where that was taking him? Did he realize that he would soon be consumed by another identity? He did not say or hint at being "occupied," so there must be a reason for his desire to die.
The tell is Derek addressing him as "Kal-El." I'll take a flyer that Larr is herself Kryptonian in some way; that she's turned Edge onto the potential of X-Kryptonite and is whispering in his ear about super-soldiers without telling him that she's jerry-rigged an MRI to infuse her dead compadres' minds into as many of his guinea pigs as she can.
Derek when alone with Larr or in confrontation with Clark is not the anxious, uncertain and disturbed individual he is in public. He's assertive and seems to understand exactly what's going on. Inquisitive and demanding - "what makes you think it will be different this time?" He knows how to use his powers, and he doesn't sound like he's being manipulated.

Yeah, but Earth Prime Sam Lane and Morgan Edge look different from their Pre-Crisis Earth-38 counterparts. And Earth-1 and Earth-90 had several identical doppelgangers (Tina McGee, Julio Mendez, the Trickster, and Prank, plus Barry Allen-90 being a doppelganger of Henry Allen-1 and Jay Garrick-3) but totally different incarnations of Iris West, Nora Allen, Sam Scudder, and possibly Leonard Snart (if we assume Earth-90's Leonard Wynters used an alias). Also, Earth-99's Kate and Beth Kane and Luke Fox look like their Earth-1 counterparts, but its Bruce Wayne looks entirely different.
So it's not all-or-nothing. A world can have some lookalikes and some non-lookalikes at the same time.
My CW TV channel has been like that for at least a year.
Capt. Luthor being married to his Lois was a big surprise.
It was nice to get to find out what happened to Derek, and we got to see the device giving Edge's people their Kryptonian powers.
Clark going in and putting out as himself the fire like that did seem a big reckless. I wouldn't have thought it would have been that hard for him to just change into Superman and do it openly. I guess he might have been afraid if he kept operating as Superman in Smallville people would figure out he's living there.

Did Lana really get upset that Kyle was mourning?
What is wrong with her?
What is wrong with her?
No, she got upset because her husband, who has a drinking problem, came home drunk.
Which is why drunk Jonathan and friends made Sarah so angry. A common reaction among people who live with problem drinkers.
When a problem drinker "mourns" by drinking it's a problem for people close to them, whether or not it's "understandable." There are no time--outs or free passes because a problem drinker had a sucky day.
My mistake.
Tom is not dead, only injured.
It's clear that Kyle is not allowed to drink, but that may not mean that he has a problem.
Sarah went ape because she thinks that the Kent "sisters" are making up problems because they're idiots. Meanwhile her mum and dad are on the verge of breaking up, so her life is going down the toilet.
When was Kyle's drinking problem mentioned?
It wasn't. It's implicit in Lana's and Sarah's reactions.
When you are a parent or even a spouse, there are zones for acceptable drunkenness. Times you're allowed to be a little drunk because everything is locked down and times that you are not allowed to be even slightly drunk because children need to be fed.
Her reaction was "Dude, now really?"
If he was a drunk, and been sober for 4 years, for example, then her reaction would have been a little more huge. Either "Oh sweety your problem has reared up again, I'll get you a coffee and take you to a meeting" or "Shit dude, I warned you, you're not doing this to me again, I'm leaving. Bye Felicia."
If the Fire Chief was an uncontrollable drunk with a serious problem that not even AA could tame... How many buildings had to burn down before he lost his job?
