I have not read any of the spoilers online, so my roomate is laughing at the idea I'm about to share with you. He says that Lex and ?Clarks friendship is going to end completely over 1 thing, something to do with weapons manufacturing or something.
Persoanlly, let's look at the whole series. You can see in the early seasons that Lex really did admire and loved Clark, even in Season 3 there was evidence that things between them could be fixed easily.
No doubt in the early 3 seasons we see an almost subtle change in Lex's personality, warring with his father taking it's toll on his psyche.
But Lex is no fool, and by the time Season 3 ends and Season 4 begins, we can see that he is losing his patience with Clark. So where am I going with this?
Well the events of last night, got me to tihnking about something that Lex said to Clark at the end of Season 3. He was commenting about the relationship between Sageeth and Namon, he points out that a man with the type of powers that Namon possesses could potentially become a tyrant if not kept in check. That perhaps Segeeth was the hero of the tale. And he had a look on his that suggested he knew that the prophecy could very well be about the two of them.
So then last night, these two beings with Kryptonian powers arrive, causing mayhem looking for Kal-El. Might that one event, have triggered the absolute permenant fracture that could lead to Lex'es research and development into destroying Clark? In his own mind, he would be doing the world a service, or acting the part of the misunderstood hero. And in Clarks mind, Lex would be bad, out to destroy him. That could put a permenant dent in any possibility of coexistance.
This is just a theory and there are easily some holes in it, and I havne't laid everything I'm thinking out. Sometimes things come into your mind, easier than they are explained out. LOL.

razorgod . . . he had a look on his that suggested he knew that the prophecy could very well be about the two of them. But if your theory is correct, Lex Luthor would know Superman's identity later on. confused I think the significance of the Talisman episode was that Lex was already empathizing with Sageeth, and not Naman, even though Lex was still pretty "good" in season 3.

But if your theory is correct, Lex Luthor would know Superman's identity later on. confused Not neccesarily. You can't really evaluate anything on Smallville by the comic standards and what we know about "Superman", because as the producers have stated, Smallville isn't about Superman, it's about Clark Kent. Later on in life, it could very well be that Lex at least suspects that Clark is Superman in the Smallville universe. But for the here and now, Lex knows that Clark is special. He knows that Clark has abilities, you can clearly see in his "Clark Room" that he has analyzed things that have happened with Clark around. He might not know Clarks every ability, but he knows enough to draw a conclusion.

`Chloe Sullivan` But wait in the comics Lex didn't know that Clark was superman...atleast the ne i read It doesn't matter, because in not 1 Superman comic, was Lex ever a chldhood friend of Clarks. Smallville is playing by a whole new set of rules. So you can't evaluate my idea off of the comics. It's based solely off the story line we have beenbeing given.

Well if you watch the DvDs they say that they are not trying to go along right with the comics. But they are trying to make their own Theories. There are like a ton of different Superman Stories and they are just starting to make their own.

Which is where most of the fun of the series comes in for me, so in the Smallville universe, Lex could know that Clark and Superman are the same. We may never get to see that tiem period, but still.........

I still don't get how Lex can't figure out Clark is Superman. I mean its not like he is Batman and wears a mask. And i mean Clark Kent only hides behind Glasses. I mean Glasses can hide a lot but still...

I mean Glasses can hide a lot but still... Well in the comics, Lex and Clark aren't personal friends, so there is no real reason why Lex would take notice. As far as Lois and Jimmy Olsen go, the question was once addressed in an issue of Superman comics, or maybe it was The Man of Steel comics....anyways it was explinaed that Superman vibrates, so quickly that noone seems to notice, but in doing so it slightly distorts his features. The effect is that he looks the similiar, BUT there is just something not quite "identical" about them. He's also used this power to distort pictures taken of him. Of course, I'm not sure if modern day Superman comics still hold that eplanation, because it took place Pre-crisis era. Which means it could of changed.

I hate when I spend time typing something out and lose it.....Anyways....
I went and checked into the idea that Luthor was in Smallville...and it turns out in the 1960's a Superboy storyline was written that "reinvented" Luthor as having moved to Smallville with his family. He was a great admirer of Superboy, who had built Lex a lab to encourage his scientific studies. A rift was created between them, when a frie broke out in the lab and Superboy used his breath to put the fire out...dousing Lex with chemicals thatmade him prematurely bald.
But, Lex was reinvented again after the Crises on Infinite Earth's. In 1986, it was retorld that Lex grew up in Sucide Slums with his abusive father. The 1960's storyline, was one of the many continuities that were chucked out of DC, so likely your encycolpedia is right, but also wrong.
Anything pre-crises, is no longer the official "explanation", where as the post-crises storylines are the correct ones. Confusing, I know.
It get's better when your trying to describe who someone is, and you have to actually state WHICH storyline your using, due to the many different versions. Welccome to being a DC comic fan. LOL.
