I can see one difference between this Clark and canon/Clark: this guy gives in to any pressure that a person applies. He is ready to roll over without even trying to get Cat to try to cooperate with him. He has mentally packed a suitcase to leave the area before he even hears the plans the person who could pull the Superman mask off him.

Lois has so many schemes going that she is going to have trouble keeping all those balls in the air. She is Superman's number one fan, but she seems to be useless to the rest of the people. She has access to a "really nice normal guy" but wants the god-in-a-cape instead. Somethings never change regardless of the story.

Having fun with this one.
