Ma and Pa Kent as baddies....
well, I don't know if this is true, but as far as I remember, there is never any mention of what it is they grow on the farm....
When I read this thread I had a picture in my head of M&P growing plants that were not so legal... Mary-Jane or Poppies mixed in with the sunflower/corn crops....
Martha is a bit of a hippie after all...
but as for "in character" I never really pictured them as the criminal element...
of course Lana has been done, but what about other friends from Clark's childhood,,,
for some reason, having a small-town yokel like Pete Ross (?) getting mixed up in a major crime org. is not so hard to believe
