Hi, Terry!
Thanks for reading and for the awesome feedback!
Clark's still immune to Earth diseases - perk of being Kryptonian. That's really the only thing keeping him from getting an infection at this point. Because that's, at least, not dependent on his powers being functional. It's just the luck of his genes. And Luthor won't let Clark die unless he wants him to die, so he'd make sure that he's beaten but not within the reach of death. Still, it would be hard to prevent Clark's ribs from shifting and popping a lung. Chalk it up to luck (and an author who is unwilling to let Clark off the hook so easily.)
Clark is being fed food...but not much. All the better for Luthor to break him down.
Lois is pretty smart, huh? Now, she doesn't know the other supers real identities, so she has no idea Spidey is a fellow journalist/news guy (yes, I know, he's "just" a photog). All of the supers are on the lookout for Superman, you can rest assured. But Diana is the first one to really get aggressive on the whole "let's start our own organized search/network of trading any info or leads we might find." As for bringing in Marvel - the more the merrier, even if they remain off-screen.
You seem very sure Clark will be found and will have a chance to recover. We'll have to see if you're right...
