Would SV's Clark still become Superman had not for the events in his life?

[Herolee10]

this is something I've been thinking for awhile now, and the events that took place in "Odyssey" really got me to think about it more.

If SV's version of Clark had not gone through the experiences he had in this universe and instead lived the somewhat quiet and normal life presented for him in the Comics and other media portrayals, where Jor-el wasn't presented as a menace for Clark, and where Clark didn't feel like he was being forced to become a hero along with not meeting Lex and there never having been the tragic meteor shower like the way they presented it....

would Clark still have become Superman? I mean if all the events listed above never happened, then his parents would still be with each other in the farm, Lana wouldn't have become so..."complex", and Clark wouldn't have to worry about so many other stuff.



Your thoughts?

yes, Jor-el has everything in place to make him do it.

i say YES even without these evsnts he still would have become superman i mean he was svaing people 1st seseaon of series

and those events did nothing but slwed his progeresssion as superman with lana, lex jor-el etc

if he had quite life he would have been superman quicker like in comics

it is his Kryptonian race traits

great comments from everyone!

I guess the only reason I brought this is because the way Clark described on how he was holding onto a life that wasn't there on the farm anymore back in Odyssey, was that if Jonathan was still alive and with Martha at the farm and if Lana wasn't so scarred emotionally, then it's possible that he might have just married Lana and settled down while helping people here and here but not actually proactively doing it.

Can you really ask this question? It's the events of our life that make us who we are...
It's not the Kryptofreaks or Phantoms that make Clark become Superman. But it sure as hell is his experiences. The fundamentals instilled in him by Martha and Johnathan, his love for Lana and Lois (yet to be fully developed), and the support of his closest friends and family.

The specific events of the series: Encounters with the phantom zone, Red Kryptonite, etc. Don't effect whether he becomes Superman, instead give him an idea of how to approach a situation that might come at him once he IS Superman.

are you crazy? How many Kryptonians have come by that have wanted to take over or destroy earth?

It's not his race that makes him a hero.

smallville's version pat! read the fine print

I believe that even if non of those events would have taken place he would still have become Superman since his principals and values as Clark Kent is what actually makes him what he is. Even if he lived a perfect life there would come a day where he would have to act upon all those principals bestowed upon him by the Kents to help those in need so Yes he will be Superman no matter what.

I did read it. I fully understood the question. My answer is still the same. SV's version is just as much Superman as the comics.


Cue dumb SV bastardization argument.


I'm out.
