Yeah, we just simply disagree at a base level. I don't think any of that is true, not for Lana. There's no evidence on the page that the connection began because of strength or physical ability on Clark's part and I find that important. Its not like its highly explored, its indeed subtle, but its established that they notice one another in the way that you make eyes at someone across the room, despite not much more than acquaintances. If that subtlety is not enough in a single issue story for the individual to buy in, fair enough, I respect that, but I just don't see it accurate to say its all based on power. If anything the Lana story is based more on who he is in his heart. Which is pretty true for most stories about Lana and Clark growing up. That they get together after he rescues her, I mean hey, its a factor. Someone saves you obviously that's going to matter. Its no different than when Clark famously saves Lois, be it from a helicopter or a space plane or whatever depending on what origin we're looking at, but its simply not a case where she didn't even know he existed before he beat up some guys trying to assault her and he "won" her. It was something she was obviously thankful for and it did add to the attraction, but it wasn't the start, it just snowballed from there.
But yeah, we're just at a complete stalemate. I mean if you have more to add I certainly will read and digest it, I'm not trying to be a "last word" guy, I just don't think either of us want to keep going in circles, heh.
