Anyways, regardless... I have an idea to make GL work on SV without major rights issues and continuity glitches with the source material:
The episode is called
"Light"
- Following the defeat of General Zod, Brainiac devises a new strategy to restore Zod's empire. After months of development, using Tech from the spaceship hes developed a Kryptonite-powered probe that has abilities to travel through time at lightspeed. The probe contains data to General Zod about future events; the destruction of Krypton etc...so he could use this knowledge to his advantage and rule the planet. It is designed to travel back 10 years before the destruction of Krypton and land in Zod's remote fortress, removed far away from the main continent.
- Clark eventually realizes Brainiac is developing some kind of weapon, using Luthorcorp's resources for the project as well and tries to stop him, believing the weapon is a missle.
- Clark tries to fight Brainiac and stop the launch but is defeated and outsmarted. The weapon/probe is launched...
- Clark decides he has no choice but to sacrifice himself to save the people of Earth and destroy the weapon. He thrusts himself at it while its above the city and attempts to break it apart, while suffering from extreme Kryptonite exposure. He punches out its navagation systems..and there is a flash of bright light.. He immediately falls to the Earth unconscious right after.
- The Kryptonite exposure left him with strange temporal signatures from the device in his brain.
- The weapon/probe travels back in time to 10 years prior to the destruction of Krypton but with the navagation systems compromised, it crashes in the Kryptonian captial city.....the people of Krypton discover the contents of the probe and learn about their own future.
- History is ALTERED.
- It is now the present, 2006, and we find that the Kryptonians have resettled on another planet, named Argo while Zod was arrested and imprisoned decades ago.
- Kal-El, the son of Jor-El and Lara (now 19 years and a man) has just been recruited by the Green Lantern Corps and receives his Power Ring.
- Kal-El is the protector of his star system and several familar GL faces are seen; like Tomar-Re and Abin Sur.
- For years Kal-El has been having nightmares. Dreams of falling on another world, dreams of Brainiac and the flash of bright light. Recently theyve been getting stronger and more frequent.
- Throughout the episode, he begins to have visions and memories of another life. The temporal signatures, put in his brain by the explosion of light during the attempt to destroy the weapon, survived the alteration of time. They still exist in his brain and retain the memories of his past life, stored in his subconscious.
- Eventually Abin Sur takes Kal-El to Earth to investigate Kal's visions. Kal's memories of Clark's life begin to resurface when he arrives in Smallville. He lands in General Lane's Airforce base and takes the identity of an Airforce pilot named Hal Jordan to blend in. He steals Hal's jacket and ID.
- Kal-El realizes how much Smallville has changed from the way he remembered it. Senator Lex Luthor is in power over Smallville with his finanical empire controlling everything in the town. Lana Lang is engaged to Pete Ross (who isnt seen on screen). Pete was the one who conforted her after her first boyfriend Whitney was killed...and theyre relationship developed from there. Chloe is in a mental institution after years of solitude during high school secluded in the Torch office alone.
- Kal-El is disturbed to find the gravestones of Jonathan and Martha Kent; killed in a tragic automobile accident. Jonathan was the only one will to step up to Lex and run against him, but Lex made sure he never got the opportunity.
- Kal-El realizes he must restore the timeline. He needs to go back in time and destroy the probe before it made contact with Krypton. Theres only one force in the universe that has the powers to help him...
The Guardians...
- The Guardians have been aware of the disruption and alteration in the timeline but did not interfere...yet. They were testing Kal-El to see if he would put his own wishes of a perfect life on Krypton with friends and family over the greater good of restoring the timeline. Clark/Kal-El passed the test. They tell him they will send him back to stop the weapon and tell him that he will not be a Green Lantern anymore, it was never his destiny....he was meant to walk down a different path.
- Kal-El destroys the weapon and the timeline is
restored.
Back on Earth
- Clark wakes up after being knocked out by the probe and overhears Brainiac yelling over how the plan is ruined and the probe was somehow destroyed.
- Clark believes he destroyed it during that flash of white light and goes back home now healed.
- On the way he sees an Airforce base doing an airshow for public view in Smallville. He notices a pilot named Hal Jordan and gets a strange sense of deja Vu. He continues home where he begins to dream of life of Krypton and the Green Lanterns......believing they are dreams and never realizing he once actually lived those events.
