Young men are consistently shown on television that they should sleep with as many women as possible, be as drunk as possible, and as stupid as possible. How different would America be if most young men on TV were shown with the qualities of Clark Kent? Imagine the ripple effect. It would raise the bar for their behavior, a bar many men could easily meet. But, alas, that ship has sailed... for our dimension.

Luckily, we have the power to create new universes at our fingertips. evil

Write a story where the normal social behavior of young men is to treat women with the respect that Clark does. How would canon Lois react if Tempus tossed her into such an alt-dimension? Would Clark still stand out from the crowd? If not, how could he attract Lois's attention? Would Lois go insane or become paranoid in such a universe?

If all the Clarks are in love with her, there could be a problem.

One thing is for certain... Tempus would go (even more) insane in such a universe. Perhaps that could be the punchline: After trying to trap Lois in that universe, he himself is stranded there. Ah, the irony!

What a delightful challenge. I hope someone takes it up.

Joy,

Apparently, I didn't make myself clear. I didn't mean a literal universe of Clark Kents, but a metaphorical one. A universe where most men are as kind, generous, polite, and helpful as Clark, but a not universe only populated by men who are literally Clark Kent (Kryptonian or Superman)... i.e. there's only ONE Clark Kent in this universe.

Well we know that she is his soulmate so that would mean that there'd be a slightly stronger connection to him than the others, you'd hope.


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.

Yes, you see, the Clarks are her soulmates as well.
