In that timeline, he had a happy, humbling childhood with the Kents until they were killed in a car accident and he was sent to an abusive foster home. Without John and Martha's guidance, he became embittered, and when his powers developed, he used them to strike back at all the people who hurt and failed him over the years. And then he met that universe's version of Tal-Rho and things got exponentially worse.
* TemptingFate: "The Anniversary" shows a flashback to Clark and Lois's first anniversary, where they both insisted that they were going to make it to the restaurant on time, but something kept coming up. Ever since, they've celebrated their anniversary four days after the actual anniversary.
