Very creative. Reminds me of several pub/bar-as-nexus tales I've read (Spider Robinson comes to mind). I wonder how this Lois reacted to Clark's "special talents" when she finally found out about them? And how will they take down Lex?

You do know, I hope, that this means that you now must design and execute a series of stories along this line, and not just with the principals. You can combine two of the secondaries (Dan and Lucy, Cat and a younger Perry, an alternate single Jonathan and an alternate single Martha - or maybe this is how they first met!) if you want. Or you could come up with your own combinations.

Ooh! You could even bring a good Lex and a not-so-good Lois together and have him reform her! A challenge to pull off from both character standpoints, I know, but I'd bet you could do it!

I really enjoyed this tale, Bob. And I really want to read more! So when's the next episode from Many Worlds coming to a message board near us?
