Poor Lex... You were so sweet and pure once. It just makes me want to go back in time and give him Clark's ass from the get-go.

Yeah, but even if Lex knew the truth, I still think somehow the combination of Jor-El and Lionel would have end up screwing things up. Poor doomed fated Lex! (He can be rescued in fiction, but on the show? He was always screwed. Except in the reality where the fangirls take over the scripts, of course).

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your icon. I was just thinking the other day that someone should write a story where the brand doesn't disappear, and it drives Lex crazy that he has this mysterious mark that he can't explain, and he starts having dreams about Clark kneeling in front of him, and, well...nature takes its course.
