Hi Mary!
or if they'd somehow never needed to leave Krypton at all. Would he still have felt like such an outsider, growing up?
Perhaps. I mean, he would have been the spare, so it’s possible that he would have received far less attention than Kal-El.
"You want to keep my from my own brother?!" he sputtered.
/psst/ ‘me’ not ‘my’.
"We want to keep you from danger," his father explained. "He is not a safe companion, Michel. We've explained this already."
So, all good that he’s traipsing around with his lab assistant but conversing with his brother the state of world politics and sports while sniffing a glass of Cognac is considered inappropriate?
Clark grabbed his coat from behind his chair and followed her to the elevator. "I guess I am," he admitted. "I found out something big, yesterday."
Yes, it’s possible for them to have relations with Earth women without breaking them. He’s now making plans…
The elevator arrived with a soft chime, and they both stepped in. "What is it?" Lois asked once the doors were closed. "Good news?"
Yes, there’s someone on this planet that shares his genes.
LOIS:
He laughed. "Okay, okay!" He looked her in the eyes, unable to stop smiling. "Lois, I'm a twin."
No, Clark, you’ve arrived on this planet under the Gemini zodiac sign, but you born a Pisces.
"So, what's his name? Or her name; you didn't actually say you had a brother, did you? Do you look alike? Have you met him? Or her. Do they live nearby?"
Lois, it’s you. You’re my twin. To protect us both from Lex Luthor, we’ve been separated at birth.
LOIS: Yes. I think I’ve always known, somehow. All that sibling rivalry between us. You being able to kind of keep up. Sometimes, that is.
"Well, you grew up in Kansas, and he lives in France. How did you get so separated?"
Soviet experiment. Mad scientist made it through the Berlin Wall. They later got separated on their way to Langley and Michel was lost in the French Bureaucracy.
"I meant your birth-parents," Lois explained. "What country were they from?"
One of those small Eastern European principallies no-one’s ever heard of before.
"I know that we're identical twins," Clark replied. "I know that after all these years, I finally have my brother back, and I know it feels amazing."
It would be fun if Lois figured out that Michel is Superman. Might take her another year or two to figure out that Clark’s Superman, too, though.
LOIS:
Why would Clark be Superman? Michel’s Superman.
Michael
