Clark is genetically inclined to be a leader, to be in charge, yeah he was raised by two very peace loving and gentle people, but he's got it in him to take the helm and that personality would so rub Lois the wrong way. I got him in a corporate environment buying Lex Corp out like crazy and Lois trying to figure out how he's doing so well without being crooked, but I don't have the talent to back this scenario up. Take that to your ALT universe.
