I'm sure we all enjoyed episode 3.07 Ultra Woman
and episode 3.08 Chip Off the Old Clark and episode 208 A Bolt from the Blue.
=====================
So how about having Lois get Superman's powers prior to Clark creating Superman, prior to ever meeting Lois, prior to the events of the Pilot?
From Chip Off the Old Clark we know the lightning acquired powers fade with time. As if lightning somehow transfers some of the superpower charge to another person but Clark is able to use sunlight to recharge and the other person is not.
If Lois was on a plane, as the kid Jesse was in "Chip" and gained Clark's powers, but it happen prior to Clark's arrival in Metropolis, prior to creating Superman and Clark had not even met Lois, oh what fun.
