This is exactly why I like the LnC version. *Neither* is perfect and both have very human flaws, even the great Kal-El. Clark doesn't place himself above the rest of humanity and the costumed superhero is nothing more than a disguise for the farmboy from Kansas. He's human in all but fact. He makes mistakes, he loses his temper, he sulks, he plays practical jokes, as we see in Neverending Battle. Lois, on the other hand, isn't any more perfect. She's not a virgin when Clark meets her and we're led to believe that her past relationships with men were fairly disastrous. She's a hard-driving reporter who will go to just about any lengths for a story, and frequently does something on the spur of the moment that she regrets later when she has time to think about it -- but she's certainly not stupid. And once she takes the time to get to know Clark she realizes that he isn't a jerk like the guys in her past -- but it takes a while.
Lois and Clark, for all its campiness, is the incarnation of the Superman mythos that I really fell hard for, which is why I'm still here.
