It would explain why both of their characters are screwed up and have trouble connecting to reality and other people, because half of their soul is missing. But if their soul was ever joined together it could be more powerful than Superman, ala Doomsday. Anyway, just a thought. You know me, always trying to find order in the chaos. The "early Soulmates" story I'm attempting to decide where to place in S1 canon (before sending things had Tempus and Lex as the same soul, just different incarnations. The reason they saw Tempus and not Lex in "SoulMates" was because it was the incarnation that was "still alive" to interact with them and benefit from the curse.
CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.
