One other possibility has been raised to answer "would Lex propose in a universe where there's no CK/S". What if the Lex Luthor in that universe is not evil but a decent guy?
Well, yes, he might very well propose in that case. But I'm not sure that *he* is really Lex Luthor in that scenario - instead he's a new and original character who just happens to be *named* Lex Luthor. And should CK/S show up Lois Lane might just become one Desperate Housewife
Assuming she'd accepted his proposal of course.
