Grape minds drink alike?
I liked Smallville for showing Clark gradually learning how to be Superman. I, too, like the idea that he's got no idea how powerful he can become.
Someone once wrote that the dream fight between Superman and the Hulk would be Hulk hitting Supes and Supes shrugs it off. Hulk gets mad and hits him so hard there's an earthquake, but Superman still isn't mussed. Now Hulk winds up and we see Supes flying past the Moon.
Yeah, that was one of the best parts of the show :)
They really managed that well
If I had the chance, I'd make Clark a sickly kid who was always having major problems. In my version, it would take a Kryptonian a long time to successfully adapt to Earth. It would be nice to see Clark going to school in a wheelchair, and then gaining his powers slowly as an adult. If and when we bring in Phantom Zone villains we can either say the Zone 'empowered' them, or give them a different set of superpowers.
And yes, I've spent way too long thinking about this. lol!
