Half and Half

This Friday’s episode of Smallville should bring the entire Kent/Luthor relationship to new heights with the episode entitled “Scion”
According to the preview, the Lex clone is now discovered as having half Luthor and half of Clarks D.N.A. The preview also has him donning the black shirt with the red S, as was worn by Conner Kent (Superboy) in the D.C. comic book world as well as “Teen Titans”


For weeks now, we have seen the Lex clone display hostility towards everything to do with (the future) Superman. We have been given displays of hatred that show us that he is developing into the Lex Luthor that is hell bent on power, pain, and corruption.
Now we have discovered that he is a half-breed, which puts a whole new light on the situation. This is a big twist that could have the Clark/Luthor clone travel a path that a lot of us did not see coming. Could he be Superboy?
According to the history of Superboy, he is a Lex/Clark clone who chooses the path of “Truth and Justice” as he attempts to take the reigns after Superman’s death at the hands of Doomsday.
Conner/Kon-El, was not fond of the newspapers refer to him as “Superboy” and demanded to be called “Superman”


Superboy’s life is filled with constant struggles as the real Lex Luthor uses every maneuver in the book to lure him on to his side.
The history of Conner/Kon-El shows that Lex Luthor did not create him but a man named Paul Westfield of “Project Cadmus” actually developed the clone without the knowledge of Luthor. This clone was developed after several other attempts failed (sound familiar) and was developed as an emergency replacement for the deceased Superman. The clone is to rapidly grow to Superman’s age, then follow a proper Kryptonian aging process.
Once “Superboy” takes flight, Lex Luthor becomes irate when finding the news of the clone.
History also shows that the clone is not perfect. Due to Superman’s incredible strength, they could not get a true sample thus had to rely on scans and guesswork to develop the genetic code.
Could this be the story of the Lex Luthor clone that we are witnessing on Smallville?
Is it possible that this clone is not the ruthless man that is to become Lex Luthor?
Will the real Lex Luthor come out of the shadows once he sees the path Superboy is on?

This Friday’s episode should see the Kent/Luthor battle come head to head as they battle for the “Scion”


Smallville "Scion" airs on Friday at 8/7c on the CW.

I just watched the latest episode of Smallville, and surprisingly enough, it wwas good. I was skeptical about the whole Conner Kent angle, but they actually puled off a quality episode.
