Lois is currently a very bad girl...er... woman on the boards: planning to, and sometimes actually breaking laws (and possibly getting caught doing so) left and right in some of our fanfics at the moment. It made me wonder what other things she and Clark actually did during their four seasons of LnC, which weren't exactly legal.

While trying to figure out where Lois's crimes for my big heavy A-Plot arc fit on the below referenced NY felony scale (standing in for the one for New Troy, which was strangely absent from the Internet), I noticed that some of the descriptions for these felonies sounded vaguely familiar, as in our favorite hero and heroine allegedly did the crime on the show.

So, here's the challenge :

List as many crimes as possible (I don't know if we'll get to 100, but we can try). Include the Episode in which the crime takes place, Who perpetrated the crime, and What the crime was. I'm looking mostly for Lois and Clark crimes, but will also accept any by other Daily Planet regulars (Perry, Jimmy, Cat) and family members (Ellen, Sam, Lucy, Martha, and Jonathan), basically the good guys! If Clark or Superman committed a crime, please be specific on which persona committed the crime (as shown below).

Let's see what our heroes were able to get away with. I'll get us started:

1) The Pilot: Lois and Jimmy (and then Clark) Trespassed into a secure area of EPRAD to take a look at the Messenger wreckage.

2) The Pilot: Lois and Jimmy broke and entered the Messenger Hangar (using a lock pick).

3) The Pilot: Clark broke in (literally) and entered the Messenger Hangar, causing willful property damage to the Messenger hangar's door.

4) TOGOM: Superman dangles Dillinger upside-down from a building to gain information. (Attempted Murder in the 2nd degree?, Attempted Assault?, Menacing in the 3rd degree, Reckless Endangerment, etc.) [Let's not get into nit-picking whether or not this constitutes a crime since Dillinger is technically a clone. That's just a whole other can of worms. For the sake of this discussion, let's just say a clone life is equal to a human or Kryptonian.]

5) Ides of Metropolis: Lois bribes the bailiff to let her have 'a minute alone' with Eugene Laderman in the holding cell. ("Rewarding Official Misconduct in the first degree")

And so on.... Good luck!

Recently I was doing research, I stumbled onto this great website which describes the different crimes in NY by class: NY Crimes by Offense Level (which breaks down the difference between a Class A Felony, Class B Felony, etc. Great research tool BTW). It gives a great description of the different crimes out there and the differentiation between them.

6) Clark (albeit using some super abilities) stole jewelry for Mazik in "And the Answer Is." True, he was coerced into doing so, so the courts would probably go easy on him if he had actually been brought to trial, but he did, nevertheless, steal from a jewelry store.

7) Clark as Clark stole a sample of Mentamide 5 in "Smart Kids."

8) Clark as Clark stole an atomizer of Revenge in PML.

So much for Clark/Superman being the bastion of lawfulness.

Since I have to get ready for work, I don't have time even to begin listing all the times Lois (sometimes with Clark) committed breaking and entering, as well as other felonies. Oh, all right...I'll list just two of hers to bring the count up to an even ten.

9) Lois committed B&E in HiM.

10) I don't know whether Lois committed B&E in ASU, but at the very least she was trespassing.

Joy,
Lynn

When did Lois trespass in ASU?

11) Uh, hello! Wouldn't hiding Eugene, an escaped convict, be considered "aiding and abetting"?

Come to think of it,
12) in DLW Superman breaks Lois out of prison. Bad Superman, bad...

Lonnie

Yes, "Harboring an escaped felon."

13) IoM: Lois takes away Eugene's gun from him (but we never see exactly what she does with it.) So, possession of stolen property / unregistered firearm / concealed weapon.

14) Madame Ex: Lois steals medical files from Dr. Heller's office (locking the temp in a room to do so). Theft.

Oops. I must be misrembering episodes. In which one did Lex catch her nosing about in his office? Or was that a fanfic I'm remembering?

Oh well. In lieu of my old 10, I submit this:

10) Superman breaks Lois out of prison on DLW.

Better?

Joy,
Lynn

p.s., Revision: I answered your post before I read Lonnie's. I see that my new #10 was actually already taken as #12. Hmmm... Let me think a few minutes...

OK, how about:

10) In OP, Superman appears to freeze Spenser Spenser to death. Would that count? Admittedly, he would undoubtedly be exonerated on the grounds that his actions were in self-defense. Also, do we even know with which country the island is supposed to be a part of -- hence with which laws might apply there?

15) Clark impersonates a police officer in Church of Metropolis.

16) Clark bends Luthor's sword in Neverending Battle. Destruction of personal property.

Psst. I think that was Superman, not Clark.

17) Neverending Battle: Superman shoots a gun at Lex Luthor (okay, he deserved it). Attempted murder / Reckless endangerment.

18) The Pilot: Superman and Lois both trespass onto the Prometheus shuttle. Lois also planned on traveling without permission / stowaway.

That could be considered an accidental death since Clark/Superman* merely opened the liquid nitrogen container. Superman could have defrosted Spencer again later with his heat vision, but the "security" guards blind shooting broke the Spencer-icicle. Hmmm. Therefore, he could also be considered an accessory to the crime, couldn't he?

*Since Spencer Spencer knew that CK=SM either name would work here.

19) AtAI: Superman murders Lois Lane with his freezing breath, or would this be considered suicide by superhero? (Reckless endangerment)

20) Voice from the Past: Superman murders Lois Lane (AGAIN) by freezing breath. (Reckless Endangerment, AGAIN)

Since Lois asked (begged, actually) to be frozen, I would say the latter.

Actually, in both of these, she was just "mostly dead," so the worst he could be charged with would be attempted murder. Actually not even that -- in neither case did he have the intent to kill her. I'm not sure what this would be: Practicing medicine without a license, maybe?

Joy,
Lynn

Reckless endangerment, i.e. doing something that could lead to the (permanent) death of someone else.

Yup. That would be it.

Joy,
Lynn

Wow! We've already reached 20. Maybe 100 isn't such a difficult goal after all.

21) Swear to God: Clark destroys Lamont's (Leo Nunk's photographer) film using his vision do-hicky (x-ray vision). Although, being that nobody present except Lois knows that CK=SM and she'd never testify against her husband, I doubt this willful destruction of property would ever make it to court.

Point taken.

22) In the Pilot, Clark uses his heat vision to destroy the engine of the machinery that was about to demolish the theater.

23) In TOGoM, Clark fakes his own death. (Granted, he finds a way to resurrect himself...)

Totally off topic, but I wonder what would have happened if, in this scene, Lex suddenly produced Kryptonite and Superman wasn't able to catch the bullet he shot at Luthor.

Michael

(edited titles)

26) PML - Perry sexually harasses Rehaila.

26a) PML - Lois sexually harassed Clark.

. I think that was Battleground Earth, too, Michael, and it wasn't Clark, but Superman (Kal-El).

If she's not charging Kal-El for her services, is it really solicitation?

KAL-EL: And you'd think I'd get a little more services than kisses.
LOIS:
KAL-EL: Just saying, honey...

But, he'd never press charges on that.

Quite true. But that is rather beside the point.

Actually, if it came to that, both Lois and Perry could have extenuating circumstances, and I highly doubt either one would be convicted even if they were brought to trial.

re titles...

But Lois is formally introduced as a professional care giver. This means she's not there volunteering or as an intern but actually performing in her chosen profession. I think we could take her to court over this...

Michael

Edit:

27: Lucky Leon: Clark/Superman: Stealing a nuclear device.
27b: Lucky Lean: Clark/Superman: Detonating a nuclear device in the atmosphere.
I think we could formulate a treason/terrorism charge for either of these that gets him the death penalty in a federal court.


28: Strange Visitor: Lois & Clark: Espionage

29: Family Hour: Kidnapping

30: Double Jeopardy: Clark: Adding and Abetting

You mean, even if no money has actually changed hands, Lois was soliciting herself (with intent), so therefore she could be prosecuted for it? Works for me.

KAL-EL: Worked for me too.

So, does that mean we need a...

31) LotF / Battleground Earth: Superman hired (accepted services) of a prostitute

LOIS: *Excuse me!* But the correct title is "Concubine". Thank you very much.

32) Top Copy - Lois steals Mayson's beeper. Theft of personal property.

33. TOGOM - Clark - removing evidence from a crime scene - the movie ticket stub that was on the floor at the bank.

34. TOGOM - Lois - illegal gambling

32. Top Copy - Lois - theft of Mayson's pager. Maybe some other charges related to locating the witness at the safe house?

35. Pilot - Clark - international travel to China without a passport and avoiding Customs. (How many times did he do this throughout the series?)

36. Metallo - Superman - accessory to John Corbin's murder ...? Or excessive use of force? I read a fic a while back where Superman was charged with Corben's murder because melting his legs was unnecessarily violent, and if he hadn't melted his legs, Vale couldn't have taken the kryptonite that was powering him, thus killing him. If this one isn't sufficiently cut-and-dried, feel free to replace it. (I can't remember the name of the story, and I can't seem to find it via a site search either here or on the archives.)

EDIT: Gah! Deadly Chakram, you beat me to it. So I'm re-numbering mine.

Ha! Too funny! I was just thinking of the "removal of evidence" thing with the TOGoM ticket too!

I'm not sure whether this would count, since his actions were a result of post-hypnotic suggestion, but:

37) Superman - destruction of public property (specifically, parking meters) in IoG.

38) In JSN, L&C may be considered to be trespassing when they enter Smiley's back room. Also, even though they realized that the torn page belonged to Smiley, instead of returning it, they took it off of his property. So perhaps theft could be added to their rapidly-increasing rap sheet.

Joy,
Lynn

39) Breaking and entering Menken's Gym in Requiem.

Along these same lines:

40)JSN: Lois and Clark took the torn page from the dead woman's shoe (Janet?). Withholding / removing evidence from a murder scene.

Um... I don't think they broke into the gym. Do you mean Dr. Sam Lane's medical office?

I was under the impression that they were one and the same. Otherwise, why would Menken and the fighter be there in the middle of the night? The script does say Sam Lane's Office as the locale though.

Yeah, I never understood why they were visiting Dr. Lane's office when he wasn't there either. The reason for it must have gotten lost in one of the earlier drafts. I'm with you.

40) Trespassing on government land - both Lois and Clark in Operation Blackout.

41) Impersonating US soldiers - both Lois and Clark in Operation Blackout. (Federal crime to impersonate a decorated soldier.)

42) Terrorism - Superman hands over nukes to terrorists in Lucky Leon after stealing them from legit US soldiers. (Um, Clark, about that "checking your sources" thing you do as a reporter...)

DC, I'm switching this to #43, because I've already used #40.

Just to repeat:
Next number up: 44.

Ah, thanks. Not sure how I missed the other one. :p

/points at #27/

Michael

<throws in the towel>

Okay, so that puts us at...43 now.

43) Clark uses super speed to be "Superman getting out the shower" in MoSB. Contempt of court, right? Since he broke his promise to not use super abilities. (And this seconds *after* he catches himself about to heat vision up some tea.)

Just to review / clarify:

*Renumbered by Editor.

***Next up #44!***

I'm a little rusty here. Who did Lois, Clark or Superman kidnap? Klaus Mensa? I don't remember that. Or are you talking about the baby at the end?

LnC, when they 'adopt' the baby.

Michael

44) Clark, Jimmy, and Perry - harboring an escaped Juvenile Detention Center prisoner (Jack) in HoL.

45) Clark flies without a permit or filing flight plans - the Pilot at the very least, possibly many more or all episodes.

46) Lois and Clark break into Carpenter's office in The Rival. I'm not sure if this would be breaking and entering or just trespassing.

47) Superman allows the payroll check thieves to escape in Individual Responsibility. Aiding and abetting.

48) Superman does nothing to prevent the kidnap of Perry White in Individual Responsibility. Aiding and abetting.

49) Clark steals the book from Larry Smiley's office to bring to Star to translate in Just Say Noah. Theft of personal property.

50) Superman refuses to aid a prisoner getting beaten by another while in jail in MoSB. (In some jurisdictions this falls under the Good Samaritan "duty to assist" laws.)

I'm sorry, DC, I believe that's the same as #38

Ah, you're right. I was trying to check this too, and my husband kept chatting. My mistake.

Okay, replacing 49 with...

49) BFTB - Lois and Clark sneak into a cemetery after hours. Trespassing.

I hate to play the devil's advocate, but are you sure? There sure seemed to be a lot of people traipsing around for it to be "closed". Do all cemeteries close? (They never seemed to in Buffy, but that's another show entirely.) It has been a while since I saw the show, do they actually say that they came in after the cemetery was closed?

If it wasn't closed, why were they sneaking around and hiding from the guard...which got them thrown out after Clark supposedly stepped on a twig later on? And every cemetery that I know has certain "open" hours.

From the script:

LOIS and CLARK appear. They're sneaking, they're skulking, they're not supposed to be here. Lois is fine with this, Clark isn't.

Then, later:

LOIS
Well, of course we got kicked out, and whose fault was that? I am not the one who stepped on the only dry twig in the entire cemetery just as that guard came back.

So...I would argue that they were definitely trespassing by being there late at night.

Okay, you win. As I said, it's been a while since I watched that episode. Anyway, does Lois ever go anywhere when it is open?

I'd expect the law doesn't really cover flying under your own power. He doesn't fall under any of the FAA categories as far as I can tell. The FAA didn't create a category for ultralights until the early 80s so until they create one for him he doesn't get regulated.

That didn't stop Pres. Elect Doe from having the FAA step on his toes though.

Um...maybe just the Fudge Castle during normal operating hours.

Plus, they were in what would be recognized as New Krypton sovereign territory, and they seemed to be acting in accord with local law. On the other hand, if Trey had not interrupted, I think Lois would have given Kal more than kisses.

50. Vatman:Superman, international travel avoiding customs and proper processing to France.

51. Ordinary People: Superman, transporting cheese into the US from Switzerland without declaring it at customs. Smuggling.

52. Witnessed: Clark, destruction of the bullet which is evidence of an attempted murder of Lois. Destruction of evidence.

53. Individual Responsibility:Lois and Clark breaking and entering into Newtrich's office.

54:Wall of Sound, Lois: assault of the guard at the Stoke Club.

55.Lethal Weapon: Superman, excessive destruction of public property.

I'm re-numbering this one, John, because we already had a #50.

Next up #57

57) Virtually Destroyed: Jimmy and Superman - computer hacking / illegal trespassing into someone's computer?

58) Clark impersonates a Navy SEAL in It's a Small World After All. (Federal crime to impersonate a member of any military branch.)

59. Madame Ex - Lois - improper disposal of a radioactive substance (the kryptonite bullet)

Edit: Again! You posted at the same time as me again! Changing my number again.

60. Sex, Lies and Video Tape - Lois Lane - fraud, although she did not get the space at Chauteau Roberge for free, it does appear she got a discount by claiming to be working on a story, so this would clearly constitute fraud.

61. Ordianry People - Clark - cruelty to animals for heating up the sand in the path of the tiger. OK I doubt this would stick as a charge, but still.

62. Battleground Earth - Lois Lane - assault on a government officer for her attack of the colonel who ordered the use of Kryptonite gas against Nor and Superman.

63) Lois commits assault/battery by punching Deter out in Oedipus Wrecks.

Yes, but he deserved it.

You know, I almost included the same disclaimer when I posted that!

More to the point of this discussion, Deter would never bring criminal charges. Lois would expose his use of hypnosis to try to get her to love him. Even know I am not sure any criminal charges could stick against him, and I think even less likely in the early 1990s, but even then it would probably get his license revoked.

64. Lois - Chi of Steel - trespassing for her going into the men's club, and accessing data there.

65) Clark steals/pockets the globe in Strange Visitor. Theft. (Yes, I know it's technically his and all...)

66) Martha attempts to pick Clark's lock in The Eyes Have It. Attempted breaking and entering.

67) Jimmy actually *does* pick Clark's lock in The Eyes Have It. Breaking and entering.

68) Lois and Clark nose around the For Sale property in "Through a Glass, Darkly" without anyone being around/any realtor in the vicinity. Trespassing.

69.The Source - Lois and Clark break into the offices of Virologic while posing as copy repair personnel and look through confidential files. I believe Bender even threatens to have them charged for this one.

70 - The Dad Who Came in From the Cold - I am pretty sure the way Superman hides the briefcase at the start of the episode just after the agent is killed would technically be illegal, since the people looking for it are actually government agents.

71. Seconds - Lois acting as Wanda Detroit assists Luthor in breaking into I think it was Star Labs and stealing some things. I am not sure this fully counts, because her she is so confused by her fugue state that she is essentially acting as a bad guy.

74) Cat has sex with the copier repair guy in a public place (the copy room) in PML. Public Indecency. (I think, depending on the jurisdiction, she might have to register as a sex offender if charged.)

72. Forget me Not - Lois uses a gun to try to kill Perry. True, she has been hypnotized into doing it by Dr. Mendenhall, but since we counted Superman knocking over parking meters, I think we can count this too.

73. Stop the Presses - Lois - destruction of government property, when she rams her Jeep Cherokee through the doors of the missile silo.

Edited my above post to read as 74, since I was posting at the same time as John.

74a. Clark looks into the Copy room and sees what Cat and the repair guy are doing. Especially since he responded to hearing noise in there, this may well count as voyeurism.

75. Ultrawoman - Lois uses her super power to look through Clarks clothing. This would probably be construed as some sort of invasion of privacy.

76. Target: Jimmy Olsen - Clark with Lois's help impersonates a doctor, enters secure areas and disrupts the operation of a hospital. I am pretty sure such actions would run afoul of multiple laws.

77) In UltraWoman, Lois tosses the park gate. We then here a car getting smashed (by the gate). Destruction of personal property.

78) In Never On Sunday, while in Jamaica as a green reporter, Clark ran the story of Hendricks/Baron Sunday and the gun running operation, presumably without checking all his sources. A background check later proves Hendricks was completely clean. Libel and defamation of character.

77. Superman - People vs. Lois Lane - at least some of Superman's visits to Lois were clearly unauthorized and in violation of jail rules and procedures.

78. All Shook Up - Assault, I guess - Jonathan with the baseball bat
79. All Shook Up - Martha's attempt to help Clark fly - not positive if it counts and it wasn't attempted murder, but I thought I'd put it out there anyway.

I knew I should I have fixed this last night.

John, we already had a 77, so this is now 79.

Tzigone, 78 was already taken, so I've renumbered your suggestions as well.

Next up #82!

82) GGGoH: Clark and Lois sneak into a quarantined or secure area (Irig's farm) - trespassing.

and in a cruel unjust world...

83) GGGoH: Clark attacking Trask in self-defense of him and his family - attack on a government agent.

84) Season's Greedings: Lois takes Space Rat (did we ever see her pay for it?) - theft

85) Toy Story: Lois grabs Superman from little boy - theft.

WAS Trask really government though? Or just posing as one to get what he wanted?

86) Lois and Clark break into Mayson's office in Resurrection. Breaking and entering.

87) Scardino also breaks into Mayson's office in Resurrection. AND he takes her diary. Breaking and entering with added theft.

Hence my disclaimer of a "in a cruel unjust world" . According to Gen. Newcomb, Bureau 39 was an actual agency, but one which operated outside government oversight (kind of like the NIA of DWCiftC), and that Trask was crazy. The question is: between Strange Visitor and GGGoH did the government officially dissolve B39 or just deny it ever existed. My guess, it was more of the latter than the former. And after Nor and the NK invaded I wouldn't be surprised if B39 got a bump in funding.

Now, that would be an interesting sequel to MoS. Have Lex Luthor team up with a B39 type agency against Superman and the "threat" he poses.

Good point. I never really thought about it going either way. I just assumed B39 was a defunct agency by the time Superman arrived on the scene.

Oh Lord. Lex teamed with B39. Scary!

(Now is imagining Lex with B39 battling it out with the MiB for "control" over what happens to Superman.)

That would be a great crossover fic!

88. Shadow of a Doubt - Superman -needless disruption of a crime scene. When he first finds someone strangled by Hanson, he breaks open the door, but since he can hear heart-beats and things like that he should be able to tell the guy is dead, and this seems to be negligent intervention on his part.

89) In the Pilot episode, Lois and Clark enter into what appears to be a condemned building to speak to Dr. Platt. (We see them ducking under the yellow cordoned-off tape.) Trespassing.

90 - Lois - The Phoenix - failure to report a wanted felon in not immediately reporting Lex to the police when she recognizes him.

91. ILTY - Clark takes the torn piece of the invisible suit when Helene shows Lois and Clark Alan's wrecked lab. Removal of evidence from a crime scene.

92. IGACOY - Lois follows Toni Taylor into a condemned building. Trespassing.

93. Never on a Sunday - Lois steals the needle from Baron Sunday's plane when they go to pay him a visit, robbery.

94. We've Got A Lot to Talk about - Lois - she breaks into Joe the Blow's room and looks over his materials. Trespassing.

95. (I don't think anyone has done this one yet) Bolt from the Blue - Clark - destruction of property when he destroys the tatoo artists disk so that Lois can not track down who the guy who got the tattoo was.

96. IoM - Lois attacks Detective Reed to protect Eugene (and disarms her in the process). Assaulting a police officer.

97. And the Answer is - Clark impersonates Sergean Zymack on the phone - impersonating a police officer is clearly a crime.

98. In TOGoM, Perry is in possession of (and presumably drove to his house) an uninsured vehicle. True, it was on loan, but you still (in most places) cannot legally drive an vehicle that has no insurance on it.

99. In Operation: Blackout, Lois steals a military vehicle and uniforms. Theft.

100. In Wall Of Sound, Lois attacks the body guards at the Stoke Club. Assault.

Sorry, I cannot accept this one as it isn't Lois or Clark (or main cast members) doing the crime.

Scardino, I have to say for a government agent that was a bad thing you did, and without a warrant either.

Because of this, are number is back to 99 crimes. We need one more!

How about this as a fitting conclusion to the list?

100) Lois and Clark have stolen all of our hearts.

Joy,
Lynn

Unfortunately, this is the same as #54.

Sounds good, Lynn, but can I keep it for 101?

99. Foundling - Superman - Takes Globe from location of where kidnap victim Jack was found - Removal of evidence from a crime scene.

100. HiM - Lois and Clark listen in on Rourk & Harrison’s conversation at Apocalypse Consulting - Possession of eavesdropping devices and Eavesdropping

40) JSN: Lois and Clark took the torn page from the dead woman's shoe (Janet?). Withholding / removing evidence from a murder scene.

41)* Operation Blackout: Impersonating US soldiers - both Lois and Clark. (Federal crime to impersonate a decorated soldier.)

44) HoL: Clark, Jimmy, and Perry - harboring an escaped Juvenile Detention Center prisoner (Jack).

49)* BFTB - Lois and Clark sneak into a cemetery after hours. Trespassing.

50) MoSB: Superman refuses to aid a prisoner getting beaten by another while in jail. (In some jurisdictions this falls under the Good Samaritan "duty to assist" laws.)

51) Ordinary People: Superman, transporting cheese into the US from Switzerland without declaring it at customs. Smuggling.

52) Witness: Clark, destruction of the bullet which is evidence of an attempted murder of Lois. Destruction of evidence.

69) The Source: Lois and Clark break into the offices of Virologic while posing as copy repair personnel and look through confidential files. – Trespassing / breaking & entering [I believe Bender even threatens to have them charged for this one.]

70) The Dad Who Came in From the Cold: Superman hides the briefcase at the start of the episode just after the agent is killed would technically be illegal, since the people looking for it are actually government agents – removal of evidence from a crime scene / murder

71) Seconds: Lois acting as Wanda Detroit assists Luthor in breaking into Star Labs and stealing some things – breaking and entering / theft

72) Forget me Not: Lois uses a gun to try to kill Perry. – attempted murder [True, she has been hypnotized into doing it by Dr. Mendenhall]

74) PML: Cat has sex with the copier repair guy in a public place (the copy room). Public Indecency / Lewdness. (depending on the jurisdiction, she might have to register as a sex offender if charged.)

78) Never On Sunday: while in Jamaica as a green reporter, Clark ran the story of Hendricks/Baron Sunday and the gun running operation, presumably without checking all his sources. A background check later proves Hendricks was completely clean. Libel and defamation of character.

86) Resurrection: Lois and Clark break into Mayson's office in Resurrection. Breaking and entering.

87)* Shadow of a Doubt - Superman -When he first finds someone strangled by Hanson, he breaks open the door, but since he can hear heart-beats and things like that he should be able to tell the guy is dead, and this seems to be negligent intervention on his part - needless disruption of a crime scene

88) the Pilot - Lois and Clark enter into what appears to be a condemned building to speak to Dr. Platt. (We see them ducking under the yellow cordoned-off tape.) Trespassing.

89)* The Phoenix – Lois does not immediately report Lex to the police when she recognizes him - aiding and abetting / failures to report a wanted felon

Great job, everyone!!!

102. AKA Superman - Lois and Clark - leaving restaurant without paying. True, they leave Jimmy there, but still.

103. "Soul Mates" - Clark (as Sir Charles), assults his liege Lord, Baron Tempos. This is clearly illegal where he does it.

104. Lucky Leon - Lois - she poses as Mayson Drake on the phone, I am sure impersonating someone in the Districts Attorney's office is a crime.

Good one. I forgot about that one.

In the Pilot:

Clark enters into a condemned building (the theater). Trespassing.

Also, I can't remember which ep it is, but Lois tears a page out of a public phonebook to get an address. Destruction of public property.

I think the tearing the page out of the phone book was in "Madame X", just after Clark said he hated it when people did that.

That might be it, John! Thanks!

Also, I just realized that the gate thing in Ultra Woman should also include destruction of public property since Lois destroyed the gate, not just the random car we hear being smashed.

Well...our dashing duo has extensive rap sheets. I'm impressed.

Already on the list, DC. (That's why I made a list by episode as well, because it's easier to check that way.)

Funny thing is, that was also your suggestion:
This one has been re-numbered as #88.

Yeah, I remember submitting the one for where Dr. Platt was living. But the theatre was a separate building and occurrence. So Clark trespassed at two different sites.

Where is my brain today??? You're totally right. My apologies.

It might have went on vacation with mine. I told my husband that I feel like my brain in cheese - and not even the good stuff. The crummy spray-in-a-can kind.

But you've got a good excuse, twin babies. My kids are both at school.

I'll take that excuse and run with it!

I'm sure that'll be one you'll be able to milk for many a year. Twin babies. Twin toddlers. Twin preschoolers. Twin...

From Chip Off The Old Clark:

Superman wraps a sign post around Anonymous. Destruction of public property.

Superman tears the door off its hinges when in the chemical plant. Destruction of private property.

Lois (and Superman!) enter into the closed chemical plant. (We clearly see "Closed" signs on the closed gates when Superman is confronting Anonymous.) Trespassing.

In 'Church of Metropolis', Superman smashes the monitor(s) in the secret lair after tracking the bug they tried to plant on Clark back to it. Yeah, they're bad guys, but it's still destruction of private property. He should also get a slap on the wrist for the punny, "Now stop bugging people!" while smashing it. :p

ETA: He also puts his fist through the television in the Planet's newsroom as Superman in 'Don't Tug on Superman's Cape' after he thinks Bad Brain zapped Lois into a pile of ashes.

a. I think the fact that Martha and Jonathan did not warn the authorities about a flying object falling in a field and moreover keeping it, and adopting a baby without proper verification by social services.
b. They went to Shuster field (trespassing).

When Irish eyes are killing : Superman involuntarily killed Patrick with his laser vision.
MJD : Clark in Superman attacks John Doe, got him by the throat (assault).
DLW : a. Clark protects an escaped felon, Lois after helping her to break of jail.
b. Well, not sure that can be considered a theft, but he takes from the attorney Clemmens the case found when Lois "pulled the trigger" that should have been with the other incriminating evidence.

Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't. I thought Patrick just disappeared into a mist.

Maybe, I grant you that we are not sure he died. : )

Okay, I'm trying to clean this up to send to Labrat over in the Archives. While going through the list one more time, I had a few questions (Darth Michael, the new boards really don't like you. It once more deleted some of your comments. Good thing I had gotten most everything prior to the move, except the last few suggestion).

Refresh my memory here, Michael. Aiding and Abetting of what?

Personal note: Superman isn't allowed to use his powers, and if he were human getting involved would just get himself hurt, plus the guy deserved it. I doubt any jury would convict him.

Just double checking my facts here, but wasn't it Cheese from France, Chocolate from Switzerland, and a Pearl from Japan? (Snow from the mountains probably doesn't need to go through customs, does it?)

I don't think that's a criminal offense. We'd have to check with Lynn SM, our resident Pun Police.

Good ones!

Although without a body we can’t be too sure that Patrick is really dead, or just Voldermorted.

Was this before or after John Doe is President-Elect?
That one is already on the list.
I'll count it.

We're WAY past 100, but there were a few more episodes with no crimes listed. Does anyone know of anything else we can include?

I’ve Got you Under My Skin

Virginia - I was thinking along the lines of just holding the guy back or shielding the other guy with his body. No powers involved.

I don't know. That guy was pretty big. I'm sure it would take super strength to hold him and invulnerability, should he get struck himself. (I don't know how the judge expected him not to use any of THOSE powers.)

EDIT: But don't worry, it's still on the list. Just a personal note.

Yeah, I've never been sure if stuff like the invulnerability or super hearing (let's face it, half the time it's involuntary) was part of the no powers ban, or if it was big stuff like flying and melting stuff with his eyes.

Okay, the top 100 list has been sent to Labrat! One more items crossed off my To-Do List! I'm still collecting crimes (by episode), so if you can think of any more, let me know. Here's what I've got so far:
