What other superheroes should make cameos in Smallville?

I'm sorry but you're comparing an animated series with a live-action show. Of course the series can be more faithful, it's animated, a cartoon. You can literally almost take a comicbook story and translate it to animation easily. In most cases it's not the same with live action shows.

Not true. There isnt too much information about young Clark Kent in smallville in the comics so its pretty easy to write your own stuff that works with the show....

However...when that stuff tends to contradict future Superman events established by them...thats problematic.

It wasnt an impossible task to accomplish.

Does Ra's Al Ghul training Bruce Wayne jeopardize any chance of a romance with Talia in the future? I don't think so. Clark having a teenage clone of himself? I don't think so, particularly if the clone is temporary and won't be around forever.
 
:rolleyes:

It never stops...

Why not? Clark still doesn't know what his destiny is. And although he's faced Brainiac, he hasn't fought a supercharged Brainiac with the intent to kill him. Plus you can hint and tease at a lot, especially with Lois in Smallville.

lol The fanwank needs to end. I think that would have made a great story as the season one cliffhanger. Brainiac from the future infecting the past like the computer in T3, trying to kill Clark Kent....

I would have written it as the Legion was under orders not to interfere with events in the past...however, the lesson they learn is to trust instincts over orders. The story takes place the day Jonathan Kent was meant to die from a heart attack. Even though the Legion vowed not to save him while they were there (to stop Brainiac) after getting to know the Kents, they decided to disobey orders and save him...altering history so Jonathan Kent never dies.

In the end, everyone in Smallville's memories are erased of Brainiac and the Legion (thanks to Saturn Girl)...and Jonathan Kent's mysterious recovery is an unexplained miracle....even though Clark's instincts tells him that more happened than he could remember.
 
why is it everyone says johnathen kent has to die? he only dies on one version of he superman mythos (not coutning the movie). in most he survives all the way through.........gah!

Why would that even jeopardize any chance of romance? Obvously something could still happen and end when Bruce realizes who her father is.

However, Im hoping thats avoided since Batman doesnt need romances.

The teenage clone is just a silly idea. What it does is, it makes Cadmus cloning the real Kon-El in the future into a repetitive storyline....

Its better not to bring stuff that isnt even supposed to happen yet into the present fold. Id rather this show try to be more of a prequel than "Ultimate Superman."

No he doesnt. He only survives in the postcrisis timeline.

In Earth 1 and Earth 2, he died.

Smallville is strongly based off the silver-age and the reeve films, if you havent noticed.

LOL I missed that picture. :D

I've missed you 'round here, Sage.

*hugs*

Too bad you're stuck on a merry go round that doesn't appear to have an off button. :D

I don't see how it makes it silly. All it means is that the cloning procedure is proven and that they've managed to perfect it to the point of creating Kon-El with no errors.

But it wasnt even perfected with Kon-El, thats why half of his DNA needed to be a humans...it needed to be Lex's. They wanted to create a Superman clone in the wake of his death....but they ended up getting something else.

And its redux too, for something thats been done to happen again...

I think we should first wait and see whether the character of 'Connor Kent' even survives the Infinite Crisis. Hes one of the candidates to die according to the Wizard article. They may be trying to get rid of him for good....since hes served his purpose in the DCU.

Well I doubt he's going to die considering the Titans Tomorrow storyline shows that he'll be Superman in the future.

Besides, what difference does it make what happens to him? Joe Chill hasn't been used in the comics since the 80s yet they used him in Batman Begins.
 
He HAS been used in the modern postcrisis. The only difference is here, Batman doesnt know that 'Joe Chill' truely killed his parents. The name itself could be an alias.

The movie changed that detail, I suppose Nolan prefered the pre-zero hour and pre-crisis interpretation of Chill....however, in the modern comics, Batman will never know the truth (thats how I like it) but Chill still exists.
 
Okay, continuing...

To add the first part of the "Brother" arc, at the end, the scientists at Cadmus are looking at papers with Connor's stats, and the stats of failed experiments. The camera pans up to reveal a full grown specimen in a tube, even older than Clark, and again it bears a resemblance to him, but not much.

- Second part begins with Clark and Connor walking into the Talon. Connor's been begging Clark to show him how to use his heat vision. (Clark's wearing his blue jeans and t-shirt shirt with the red long sleeve shirt, Connor's wearing the same except for a black t-shirt) Clark tells him he has to focus on something that gets him hot. Ironically, when he says this, Lois comes from the back, since she works there. Connor sees her, and almost instantaneously his heat vision flares up, almost a deja vu of Heat from Season 2. Luckily Connor only starts a small fire.

- At Cadmus, the doctors are ready to release the new specimen. One of them mentions that unlike the others including Connor, they've managed to find a way to control it. Professor Phineas Potter reveals some blue vials filled with liquid made to affect the bloodstream of their new specimen.

- The new clone is released, and he's a little bigger than Clark. It seems to be fine at first. Suddenly he begins to grab himself in pain, his skin color turning pale. A professor notes it's possibly from aging the cells too quickly or from too much blood from the samples and not enough human DNA. The creature attacks one of the scientists, who attempted to wave green kryptonite in front it, with no affect. One swipe from the arm kills the scientist. Potter manages to stab the creature with a needle, its body not strengthened by sunlight yet. The pale creature lays on the lab floor, breathing. The scientists wondering what went wrong. Westfield grabs a phone and calls Luthor.

More to come...
 
- Back at the farm, Connor is helping Clark with his chores. Connor learns how to focus his hearing with Clark teaching him. Clark asks him where is he from, in which Connor replies with he doesn't know, he doesn't remember his childhood. The last thing he remembers is waking up in the lab, and Professor Westfield telling him he saved his life. He also goes over where their powers come from, as well as how kryptonite affects them, all of this Connor learned from the laboratory.

- At Cadmus, Lex looks at the new clone, labeled Bizarro. He wonders what went wrong, the doctors telling him. Luthor wants them to solve the problem and fix it, but he's told there isn't much of the blood samples to test or experiment with. In turn, Lex tells them to find the source. Looking around, he asks where is Connor.

- Clark takes Conner to the Kowachi Caves and talks about Krypton. Connor asks if that's where he's from too. His expression is happiness, thrilled to know he's more than just normal, even human. Clark wonders why, and Connor replies "Why be normal when you can be more? Get rich, become a celebrity..." Clark begins to lecture Connor, but the Kid of Steel tells him to save it, and notes Clark hating being different and tells him to be happy about it.

- Connor asks Clark to tell him more about Krypton, in which a sauntering in Lex replies "What's Krypton?" Clark is shocked, but Connor slyly says "The element on the periodic table. Duh!" Lex pretends to be shocked to see them down in the caves. He asks how did they meet. Clark says Connor came into the Talon and he was trying to talk to Lois. Connor's pager goes off, and he has to leave.

- Lex confronts Clark about Connor looking like him as if they were brothers. Clark is speechless for a moment, and he says stupidly that he doesn't see it. But then again, they say everyone in the world has a twin, Clark says to him.

More to come...
 
Too bad you couldn't submit this Sage. This arc would open for some great stories and ideas.:up:
 
I'm liking it Sage, But Connor would have to die at the end of the arc.
 
Thanks guys. :)

Continued...;)

- Connor returns to Cadmus Labs, with Westfield chastising him about where he was. Connor doesn't give direct answers, trying to protect Clark. He meets Bizarro, who's still resting in his tube. His eyelids open, sensing Connor, who says gross.

- Connor is sent to perform tests of strength. Westfield unleashes Bizarro on the city, poised to destroy a CEO of a rival company. At first Bizarro grabs Westfield and attempts to choke him. He falls to the floor, weakened. Potter walks over, holding a blue meteor rock that he just created using the blue liquid. They have a way to control him.

- Bizarro kills the man and his security guards easily and quickly. It makes the Daily Planet frontpage. Chloe drives to Smallville to inform Clark. Both suspect Connor. Connor's in the kitchen talking to Pa Kent. He's getting comfortable around the farm. Clark asks him if he knows what happened. Connor realizes what happened and tells him about the new clone. Clark tells Connor to take him to Cadmus.

- In the main lab, Clark & Connor superspeed in. Clark notes that he couldn't see inside with this x-ray vision. They check everything from files to clipboards. Clark reads something about the blood sample used, yet still is clueless about where it came from. They hear someone coming and sped off. Unfortunately, they were caught off camera. Westfield smiles, realizing he found the source of the blood.

- On the farm, Connor is outside playing with Shelby (yeah I'm using the dog too, that's right :p). Clark talks to the Kents about where Connor came from. Outside, Shelby starts barking continuously, and Connor feels something approaching. He turns around and gets knocked down by a blur that crashes into the Kents' home: Bizarro.

- The creature lunges at Clark and they fight. Connor runs in to join, but Clark tells him to protect his parents. At that moment, Bizarro hurled a huge item at the Kents, Connor gets in the way to protect them. Clark superspeed tackles Bizarro outside and they brawl. The much stronger Bizarro starts winning. Clark suffers from internal bleeding and gets tossed into the grain silo. They fight back and forth, then the fight starts looking like Smith vs Morpheus, with everything Clark doing not working and he gets knocked out. Bizarro grabs him and is gone in a flash.

- At Cadmus, Clark, shirtless, is strapped to a gurney with a tube running from his arm. Right over his head is a kryptonite light shining down on him. Westfield looks at him smiling, saying Clark's blood and the blood sample are a perfect match. He says since the blood is not of human origin, then obviously Clark isn't human. He'll make a great deal of money with this discovery.

- He talks about the serum attempts from Season 3, and how now they've been trying to create clones using the blood. The first batch were made purely from the blood samples, but every clone deteriorated. Finally, they came up with the idea of mixing human DNA to stabilize it, and Westfield used his own for their first experiment. Instead of growing a full adult clone, they tried creating a child, resulting in Connor. The next one was the one behind them the Bizarro, who while more powerful than Connor, was dying slowly due to the rapid aging process.

- Now that he has Clark, Westfield says, he'll harvest every drop of his blood and figure out what went wrong. Connor bursts through the door and tells Westfield to stop. He doesn't, and Connor threatens him, grabbing and slamming him into a wall. Westfield grabs a piece of kryptonite and waves it in front of Connor, weakening him. There's a sad look on Westfield's face as he does this. He releases Bizarro to kill Connor. The creature doesn't obey, and Westfield waves the blue kryptonite.

- Connor manages to move away from Westfield enough to use his heatvision to destroy the bright light shining over Clark. Bizarro knocks the green K out of Westfield's hand in an effort to fight the blue K's effects. Westfield tries to inject the blue fluid in him, but Connor melts the blue K in his hands. Free, Bizarro tosses the scientist.

- Connor helps the weakened Clark to his feet. Bizarro sees both of them and tries to fight them, yet his body starts to give out on him. Clark and Connor use their heat vision on him, his skin not able to handle it in his condition. He's still able to attack them, Clark is even more injured, Connor takes a bruise.

- A beeping noise is heard. Westfield is laying on the ground, holding a detonator. He says they made sure they could control the creature. Connor grabs Clark and begins to leave, but CK tells him to save Westfield too.

- Bizarro blows up, Westfield is left outside for the police. Connor grabs Clark and runs to Smallville.

- At the farm, Connor deals with the news that he's a clone of Clark and doesn't have a past life. He's devastated to the point of saying he doesn't have a soul. Ma Kent tries to cheer him up, saying that by saving Clark and Westfield he proved he's human, more human than most people.

- Later on, Lex arranges for Westfield to be picked up from the police. Westfield tell him "I found the source."

End of the second part.
 
Okay, now I've got a bit of writer's block, LOL. If anyone has any ideas where to take the story, go for it.

I'm liking your story so far. What do you plan to do with Connor? Keep him alive, or will he die a natural death as a result of his cloning. That decision could help with your writer's block. :)


Okay just noticed the above post.

I guess I should ask, do you want to have Connor die as a result of the cloning, or have him been killed him some sort of action sequence?
 
I forgot about this thread and went into page 1. Found this as post #7

Natural death. Well, that helps. I'm brewing my ideas now.:)
