The whole soul-mate idea presents too many logistical and ideological problems for me. In the alt-world, where Lois is dead, why can't Clark be happy with Lana? (Given that she's not a monster of some sort and doesn't treat him like garbage.)
Of course, all the calculations in the XKCD what-if are based on earthlings being the sole soul pool. If Clark and Lois actually are soul mates, then don't we have to include all Kryptonians as possible soul-mates for earthlings? And what about the Martians, and the Thanagarians, and the New Gods, and the Daxomites, and the Coluans, etc.
