Fun. For a minute there when you had Clark describe the effects of Kryptonite as:
“Well, it seems like a... booster, I guess [...]"
I was thinking,
Hello, do I detect an Earth-3 fan here? The idea of Green K giving Superman (or Ultraman) a power boost (or a new power, as in JLA #29-30) is right out of that classic Silver Age tale. But then you went into more detail and I realised that it wsn't like that. Pity -- I suppose I will have to write my own E3 story sometime.

interesting stuff is going to be Lois and Clark's reaction now that his secret is out.
