That's the best explanation I've heard yet.  [/b]Actually we can't blame Mxy so much as we ought to be blaming his nemesis, Vyndktvx. There's a whole story behind it but he (Vyndktvx) killed Mxy and in the process destroyed the timeline originally in place. Remember this is a 5th dimension story. It rarely makes sense unless you read it yourself (which I only scanned through all but three of the comics only once so I'm relying a bit on reviews for my understanding of it.) It sounded more like (from the comic) that it (the New52) had (originally) been created as a love letter (which it's suggested is about Lois and Clark) which won the hand of the 5th dimension king-thing's daughter (Mrs. Nyxly). Vyndktvx destroyed that possibility(at least at this point.) Mxy's a saint in comparison to Vyndktvx (shown in the comics as a three headed satan.)  
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.
