I can't seem to get this thread out of my head.
I've got another scenario. What if Clark had multiple personalities. One was Clark, one was Superman. And he didn't know he was both men. It would be like twins only in the same body. And of course Lois didn't know they were the same man either.
Of course that would mean a whole different upbringing. Maybe it would work better for alt-Clark. Someone without a family.
I'm not sure how you would remedy it, but my guess it would be Lois's love that allow Clark to realize the greatness of both sides of himself and allow him finally be whole.
