Although Clark still exuded the same confidence that Superman did, the energy was less flashy somehow. Clark’s face was drawn with tension and he didn’t hold himself in the same broad, all powerful stance that Superman did.

I love this! It's like Clark is finally able to be himself - confident, superpowered, but still mild-mannered. This "revelation" may actually be good for Clark in a way, since he will be able to finally be himself instead of always pretending. Of course, he first has to eliminate the parent-and-Planet-threatening psychos. It is unfortunately impossible to get rid of the Lois-threatening pyschos.

I’ll explain my side of the story, give them some good quotes, and then ask them to leave me alone. I’m not going to stop living my life as Clark just because everyone knows about me.
Woo Hoo! Go Clark!
More please!
