oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

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.

It's a remora, dimwit.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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

Remind me -- how did that go? And did you see they're in talks for Spidey 3? I want my X3, dammit.

Always Anti-fascist!

Spiderman has funny lines in the comics. Good comic timing's smart.

Up with the sun

I just thought this instantiation of it made no sense.

I thought there were meteor rocks in the puddle the telephone pole collapsed into, which of course explain everything.

The place where I thought a character was being stupid was when Lana came out of the house into the rain to see Adam. She should have dialed 911 and stayed put. (Yeah, Chloe and Jonathan were in danger -- but when aren't they?)

And I never thought of Clark or Superman as being especially smart, but I really don't know comics canon at all.

Eh. I've known dumb funny comedians. I don't lend it much credence.

I mean, it's sexy, but not always smart.

Art Crawl!!!

Do you think it's an innate sense? Like being able to carry a tune or something?
