You pulled me out of my lurker-dom! I like how it's using
Clark as military and him primarily as a PI. I once read a fanfic that sort of had a storyline where a MIB-like force considered Clark one of the good guys and had him under their protection and Trask was one of their (secondary) rogues. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Newcomb because of this.
CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.
-"Contact" (You're not her jinx, you're her blessing.)
