This story can go in so many directions. For instance; since Kal-El's ship never landed in Smallville, what happened to Jonathan and Martha?
I had not even thought of that, will he still claim to be Clark Kent? Will he be able to not go and at least see the Kents? I mean they have been gone from his life for what must seem to him like an eternity? How will he get a reporter job with no references/experience/degree (at least in this AU)? I guess Wells could assist in that...
Lots of questions, lots of possibilities.
