Let's assume you could have your pick between the two. Who would you prefer? Blaming this on the episode of Just Shoot Me that I saw this morning... they had that question on their magazine and I found it just really amusing. Just curious as to what other people's reponses are. In my case, given the choice, I would pick Clark every single time.  To me, Superman is "oh, wow!", but Clark is "awww!" and well, I'm a hopeless romantic.

I'd definitely take Clark, Superpowers or not. That's one reason why I like LNC so much, because they show us a real Clark. In the movies he always shyes away. You only see him in the first 15 minutes and then he is completely replaced by Superman. I mean, if I had been Clark Kent for all my life, I wouldn't stop being this person just because I dress in spandex. And just to go with Lara... he's awwww.

The choice is an easy one. Of course, you can't have one without the other, but assuming I didn't know, I'd take Clark any time.

Definitely Clark Kent. I think the reason that LNC caught my attention, where other Superman creations hadn't, was that they made Clark the real person and Superman the disguise and focused the show on Lois and Clark. I've never been much interested in the Superman rescue portions of the show and when it comes to superpowers what fascinates and intrigues me the most is how Clark - who desperately wants to just be a 'normal' guy - has to battle with them and what problems they cause for him, rather than the positives that they give him. I'm always more interested in the powers causing him trouble or throwing up some hassle in his life and how he overcomes that. Plus the ship, of course.  LabRat

Clark Kent - of course. But, Lara, I do have to say that your "Jimmy Olsen" choice just totally cracked me up and I had to have a good giggle over that one. See, I wouldn't choose Jimmy over Clark, but I always thought the 2nd Jimmy was really cute and sweet... -- DJ

I'm not sure I can answer honestly because I don't know if I'm not subconsciously influenced by the awareness that CK *is* Superman. Even if we say that bit of knowledge doesn't matter, how can we be sure? Besides If you pick CK, you get Superman too, so two for the price of one. But if you pick Superman do you just get Superman? On the other hand it's no contest, because CK has better hair. And can you imagine S in a tie? However, everyone knows that Superman is taller than CK, so... Nope, much too difficult a question. c.

Watch Clark bend over and tell me you could want anyone else  ...Supes in that suit can't compare to Clark in well-fitting pants.

You guys are so totally cracking me up!
Superman in a tie. ROFL!
Ethnica, I absolutely agree with you. When he jumps to get Tempus towards the end of Tempus Fugitive, there's a *really* nice "rear shot". I'll take that over spandex anytime. Seriously!

After much deliberation, I had to choose "you can't have one without the other". My first thought was to choose Clark, but after thinking about it, I realized that a lot of the things that are so likable about Clark come from the fact that he's also Superman.
But I definitely prefer him in his Clark persona.

Clark, definitely. You can't buy the kind of friendship he could offer someone.

I'm still kind of surprised that no one has voted for Superman.
...and that someone voted for Jimmy. *lol*

Clark Kent. Well of course you can't have Clark without Superman. But I'd take Clark everytime - with powers or without powers

I'm the one who voted for Jimmy. And it's definitely 2nd Jimmy. If it's just Clark Kent or Superman, it would definitely be Clark all the way. He's cute, he's thoughtful, he's funny, he's sensitive and sweet.. and darned good to look at. Jimmy, on the other hand, would be a better fit for me. He's all of that, and he's a geek! What more could this geek girl ask for?

LOL, I also picked Jimmy!
I love Clark. Really, I do. But it's like picking Patrick Dempsey. He's adorable to look at, but he just feels too *perfect*. I'd rather have the geeky cute guy (who I'm sure would love that I just said that if he was here tonight LOL).

Well, this question came up some years ago and my answer was Clark, now I chose if you have one you can have the other... I think I've been influenced by reading so much fanfic and re-watching a thousand times L&C, I can't help but think that Clark wanted Lois to love him as Clark, the guy "without" superpowers, but he was not normal, as Jonathan said, for him being normal is being not normal (superpowers). The real Clark is not the person who everyone sees at the planet or the Superhero in spadex who fights crime, he's that special person that only (until Season 3) his parents had the priviledge to see. After all this thinking  , if I want Clark as a whole I had to choose both. :rolleyes: Just MHO, of course. Carolyn

Of course, you can't have one without the other, but assuming I didn't know, I'd take Clark any time. I'm in the same boat as Olympe.

hehehe I can see why no one would pick the "I don't care for either" option - which was there just in case there are Lex Luthor fans out there (  ) but, still no one is picking Superman over Clark. Well... except first season Lois, but she's not here to defend her position anyway. *lol*
