Huh. I just joked about Hawkman, but... the guy's name is Agent Carter, which I didn't really notice until I saw it written here. And his project is called Starhawk. That's an odd coincidence. (Hawkman's civilian identity varies according to continuity, but it's Katar Hol in the egyptian origin and Carter Hall in Golden Age, and he's an alien sometimes so --> hawk from the stars.) Is he really dead?

If anything, I think Lana and/or Lex is going to get their hands on the DNA, make the clone, and insert Brainiac's brain in it or something of the sort.
I think if Smallville did this I would reach a state of Zen.
