Hi Morgana,

Thanks for the FDK!

In the laser attack, since this was a different piece of red K, the effect was different. It didn't transfer Clark's powers, it modified Lois' physiology the same way that exposure to the Kryptonian aura did to the other Lois only it did it instantaneously and supercharged the sapphire K at the same time. The sapphire K will act as a storage battery for the powers and transfer them only to an individual with the modified physiology.

Herb replied, “My boy, I never say … impossible.” "Lois and Clarks"
