The Red-Blue-Blur is what Clark is before he becomes Superman. In the comics, Clark ran away around the world, learning about its many cultures, languages, and customs. Clark would secretly save people when he could, although he never had a costume or a superhero identity. The producers just give him a name. So you see he is just steps closer to becoming Superman. If they kept the No Tights, No flights rule, he would never be close to the Man of Steel.
