Interesting that Clark already has muscle tone despite not actively being involved with sports. Then, again, how could he develop muscle tone when he can drop kick trucks?

I, too, don't know how Clark would be able to register for school, unless he had some help from that nice minister that Charlie introduced him to. I thought all kids needed a birth certificate to register for school, but maybe not. Maybe if you register as a hardship case, some of the normal formalities are waved in lieu of being happy to have the kid in school rather than uneducated on the streets. (But this is probably more my optimism here than reality.)
I figure that the muscle tone is inherent with his super powers. Otherwise, he'd always look a bit pudgy since he can't actually exercise to the point of actually straining his muscles.
I've always needed a birth certificate to register my kids for school, but at their current school all the paperwork had sections to fill out if the kid is homeless or transient. Apparently it's not uncommon in my area for a family to take in their kid's friend when he gets kicked out of his own house (or runs away, or whatever). There are provisions here at least to handle those cases, and Clark would certainly fall under that. I'm not sure whether they still require a birth certificate, but those kids likely don't have ready access to theirs, so maybe not. I'm wondering, though, who Clark could have listed as his guardian. Charlie, maybe? But I'm not sure whether they could pull that off. I guess it depends on how deep the school district wants to pry.
