I love this:
His estimation of Lois Lane had certainly gone up a notch. In retrospect, he’d been rather disappointed in her lack of taste in men, blowing off Metropolis’s most eligible bachelor in order to spend her free time with an unknown nobody. That was part of the reason why Lex had never seriously pursued her romantically. The fact that she had actually gone into the arms of a worthy opponent like Kent—well, perhaps that made her a prize worth stealing
This is
SO Lex! His interest in Lois has nothing to do with her as a person, it's only about what she might represent. (He is such a slimeball!)
Still...I'd love to see how this played out.
