I haven't watched the episode... but I think Lex may actually be onto something serious. He has survived a rather large number of improbable situations at this point. Maybe his krypto-power is merely... good luck.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Or it could just be that he's in the comics. Nah...
So can I ask a stupid question? I only saw about half of the Smallville episodes last year. In them, Lionel was blind. Now, he is not. What happened?

Lionel was blind. And then he wasn't - but he led Lex (and everyone) to believe that he was. And when Lex found out he wasn't anymore? Damn. That was some good reallypissed!Lex.

Okeydoke, but how did he get unblinded? And why was he faking being blind to start with, other than because PissedOff!Lex is hot?

He wasn't faking - he really was blind. And he got unblinded by - I'm not quite sure they said actually - I'll have to check. He faked it after he was cured in order to spy on Lex and Clark
doin' it.

Eh, don't bother. It's probably one of those "because the script SAYS so, see?" reasons, anyhow.
Thanks for your explanation!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think it was one of those "this might wear off" ailments so popular on TV.

I actually did check - any excuse to avoid work - and they don't ever say. The ep where this all takes place is such a great Lex episode. You get Lex working on the Kent farm, triple-crossing Lex and, while it has nothing to do with Lex, snarky and competitive basketball-playing Clark.
About Lex so far. Last year he chalked up his ability to survive to Clark. Then last week - it was his father's ruthless lessons that taught him to survive. Now it's because he is a meteor-freak himself. I smell a theme. I just don't want this to mean he is getting rid of his IloveClark! room.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
There's a ton of fic out there where Lex has accelerated healing thanks to the meteor shower. I assume that comes from the comics.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Or from the fact that, to fit all those injuries into a single calendar year, Lex basically HAS to heal really really fast, and leave no scars.
I like the idea that his big mutant power is "I never get the flu!" My roommate and I like to joke about mutant powers -- she has the mutant power of opening jars, and of incredibly bad puns; her boyfriend is the Human Furnace so she never needs to wear socks in bed. I think my mutant power is limited to "whenever I am on the phone with my sister, the Red Sox do better!"
