Oh, one unaddressed thing - not a plot-hole, just something we don't know the answer to (yet): What happened to Zod's body? Did Clark get rid of it? Did the military collect it? Will it somehow end up in private (Luthor?) hands? I don't know if/when an autopsy would be possible, but I can understand why Clark wouldn't want anyone to know very much about Kryptonian biology.
I think that, if he thought about it, Clark would take the body and be gone before anyone else arrived (and then, after finding some way to dispose of the body, either being alone to ponder or going to get comfort/reassurance from Lois or Martha). But Clark is emotionally raw, and not experienced with the aftermath of battle yet, so I could also understand if he didn't think of it. But I'd think Lois would. What do you think?
/shudders/ That's a chilling thought. I would guess that he didn't consider it, and the military has it somewhere-- which is scary as anything. If Lex Luthor is in any capacity involved with the government, I can see him (or even just generic govt) using Zod's body for nefarious purposes... Perhaps ending up with some cloning projects...
Or perhaps this is how Kryptonite is manufactured. The govt finds Zod such a threat, they need to create something just in case Superman ever decides to turn on them or some other Kryptonians stumble upon Earth... It ends up somehow in the wrong hands-- in Lex Luthor's hands-- and no one wants to take responsibility.
It's a very interesting thought. And if Clark did get rid of the body, there'd be some other frightening implications there-- the guilt for one thing.
