It took him this long to get an apartment of his own. I guess he wanted to save up his money so if he lost his job he wouldn't be reduced to starving himself again.

How exactly is using his powers when no one can see him, 'cheating'? Is he treating himself like alt-Lana wanted him act? That the powers didn't exist at all? But that wouldn't explain him using them to protect Lois and visit his folks?
He lived alone before. It just took this long for him to get to his canon apartment. It's cheating because no normal person could pull off what he managed as quickly as he did.
Anyway "Super cheating" comes from in canon. At the start of "Twas The Night before Mxymas" Lois tells Clark they won't get their appartment ready for Christmans without "Super cheating".

Well, that's true. But, let's not forget their engagement was so long ONLY because of clones, amnesia, and invading aliens. [Big Grin]
Details. If Clark had really wanted to get hitched, I’m sure he could have arranged that.

Yes, but in canon there was a "Superman". There isn't in this story, which was my point. wink Why doesn't he call them his "above-normal" or "extra" powers? Or his "amazing abilities"? Of course, if he starts out calling them "super" skills, it would explain where the name "Superman" comes from.

EDIT: Didn't they also use the phrase "super cheating" when decorating their new apartment in People vs Lois Lane?

This just keeps getting better and better. Lois & Clark dating, admitting their love for one another, Clark sharing all his secrets. Love it all!


Superman: I hear you've been looking for me.
Lois: All my life.

Thank you. I thought it would be a fun thing to do to let Lois in on the secret when there is no Superman in the world. At the very least, Clark knows she loves him for him, not the powers. Because she doesn't know about the powers. laugh
