'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Chloe is supposed to be smarter.
Absolutely. I mean, look at her FBI-level audio file cleanup.
Which Clark later did too.
I realise that Smallville is ruining Supes for me. Not only do I feel empathy for Lex Luthor that I shouldn't but I'm forgetting that Superman is brilliant.
But I *like* time travel as a premise.
So do I. I just thought this instantiation of it made no sense.
I never really thought of Superman as supersmart - he didn't need to be since he had pretty much every other ability and just the one weakness (also he couldn't stand kryptonite.) It was superheroes like Batman and Spider-Man who were cerebrally strong.
Well, Clark Kent should have the curiosity and smarts that get him to be a journalist. . . and it's very easy to forget that when you watch Smallville.

Me neither, but I was just reading about him today, and I may have to chalk that up to my biases. He was, however, nowhere near as dumb as Clark.
just the one weakness
Magic?
It was superheroes like Batman and Spider-Man who were cerebrally strong.
I never thought of Spidey as bright either, which is why I can't be trusted.
what I think would have been logical is for Lana and clark to stay together. that would have foiled things.
however, mostly I am curious because there was no expalation fo the time travel.
of course I also wondered what would have happened if Lana hadn't put on the sweater.
Spidey was a science nerd - plus, with his set of powers, you need to be able to figure out how they can actually be used in each situation - shooting webs out of one's hands or wrists doesn't apply to as many situations as just being impermeable to bullets and the like.
Spidey was a science nerd
In high school. Who wasn't?
[rhetorical, please don't answer]
Mr. Fantastic -- that's a brainiac. Batman, all sorts of mad skills.
But there are tons of heroes and villains who don't possess a fraction of Superman's skills and get along just fine with a mostly average IQ.
Admittedly, he did create the web serum himself. As I said, my biases.
Superman, apparently, is canonically bright.

Not in the movie. Grumblegrumble. t /Spidey purist
Not in the movie.
Remind me -- how did that go? And did you see they're in talks for Spidey 3? I want my X3, dammit.
Spiderman has funny lines in the comics. Good comic timing's smart.
