How rude! The guy saves a bunch of lives on an airplane and they shoot missiles at him! It should be great when Clark meets Lois for the first time. She's not going to believe him when he tells her his name, and she's really not going to believe his story about being from another world!

And will Clark confess that he has Superman powers to Lois? Will his funky ten-dollar bill lead Lois to him to begin with? Will he let her make that garish suit for him? And will he actually wear it? Will he eventually decide to stay in that world or will he take that plane load of people back? Will he ever make that lunch date with Lana?

And several people have suggested that Tempus is involved here, but I don't think so. Why bring Clark - who currently isn't Superman - to a world where he's going to meet Lois Lane - who may be the only person in two worlds who could convince him to become Superman - and risk eliminating all that lovely warfare and violence? If Clark becomes Superman in this world, he stands a good chance of improving the peace quotient, which Tempus would just hate!

Anyway, this is another innovative story from Shayne, whose fertile imagination is bringing us yet another wonderful adventure. I, too, want to see the next post like five minutes ago!
