History Headscratchers / SupermanAndLois

* Why does Captain Luthor believe that this Superman is destined to destroy Earth-Prime? If he understands how The Multiverse works well enough to travel between universes, shouldn't he be aware that ForWantOfANail is a thing? With all the obvious differences between Earth-Prime and his Earth, why is this the one thing that he would assume will be the same?

* While kids using X-Kryptonite is the hot new thing in Smallville this year, it seems rather odd that Lana, when she was abducted by Jonathan-El, who was acting completely [[IncrediblyLamePun bizarre]], did not immediately associate her situation with the events of last year. Morgan Edge downloaded Kryptonian minds into numerous citizens of Smallville, ''including Lana's husband Kyle,'' which would seem to bear a greater similarity to Jonathan-El's behavior than to Jonathan Kent just being whacked on X-K. You would have expected her to make that connection even more strongly than just the Jonathan she knows well being hyped up on X-K and wondering if somehow Morgan Edge (whose exact fate seems to be a [=DoD=] secret) might be up to his old tricks again.

** Given the sheer amount of continuity snarls and retcons between this show and Supergirl, I wouldn't count on her showing up.

** Because it is what it does, it eradicates a subject consciousness to allow a kryptonian upload. The name doesn't make sense for the original character either, since it Kryptoforms other planets, thus, creates instead of destroying, and it's also responsible for the creation of the Fortress of Solitude. The real deviation from the comics is that even tough you could buy the consciousness override, humans shouldn't be able to store solar power anyways, and then the change would be at the genetic level, thus irreversible. You could reverse the mind, but the people would still retain the powers. ComicBook Eradicator doesn't override Clark's memories, he just removes the "human morals" and implants Kryptonian directives.

* How is it that the Kryptonian minds downloaded from the Eradicator seemed to immediately know how to use their super powers? They did not have these powers on Krypton because of its red sun. Clark and Edge both had to practice in order to master their abilities, which took time. Yet a bunch of stored minds that were recorded on Krypton are able to start using their powers without any problems like being overwhelmed by their enhanced senses?

** That's what the X-Kryptonite is for. It converts whoever's exposed to its radiation into Kryptonians.
** Although no explanation is given for why the people used as Kryptonian vessels instantly lose their powers when their Human personalities regain control.

[[folder:So...what happens to The Daily Planet?]]
* Edge was the owner of The Daily Planet when the show started, but then got outed for a supervillain and a Kryptonian. So, since he got arrested, what exactly will happen with the news company? Are they going to be investigated by the government to see who knew what and when? Sold to a new billionaire?

** No one's mentioned what happened since; most likely someone else high up in the organization took it over.

* Why doesn't it occur to anyone to contact the JL. A potential Kryptonian invasion is most definitely a League-level threat.

** The Season 2 finale finally explains it as this is a completely different Earth where none of these heroes exist.

** As it turns out, they are on a different Earth, and it seems that neither Kara nor Argo exists here.

** As it turns out, [[spoiler: they ''are'' on a different Earth, and that's not Earth-Prime/Earth-1 Dig]].

** As it turns out, [[spoiler: they are on a different Earth, and it seems that neither Kara nor Argo exists here]].

** As it turns out in "Man of Steel," he's actually [[spoiler: John Henry Irons]].

** "Man of Steel" reveals that [[spoiler: he comes from a world where Superman did go evil]], so it's understandable.

* As of this writing, the first 7 episodes has aired. From what's been shown so far, it seems like [[spoiler:Edge is using the X-Kryptonite to revive Kryptonians in human bodies (kinda like the elves in ''Manga/BlackClover'') and likely somehow used that to corrupt that Earth's Clark into being evil. That's why John is specifically trying to kill Clark even though Prime!Superman hasn't gone evil]]. However, Kara is never mentioned as being a part of Edge's army, Edge himself doesn't seem concerned with her, and as far as we've seen, John hasn't investigated her at all. Wouldn't she be a concern to both Edge and John?

** As it turns out, [[spoiler: they are on a different Earth, and that's not Earth-Prime/Earth-1 Dig]].

[[spoiler: Confirmed by the Season 2 finale]].

* What was Oliver thinking in not only bringing back Morgan Edge, but making him [[spoiler: a Kryptonian]] to boot? Was this revenge for Kara and Barry beating him in that one scene in ''Series/Invasion2016'' because he doesn't have any superpowers? Did he and Lois Lane once have a relationship back in the day and she dumped him for Clark? Or did he hate the ''Series/Supergirl2015'' version of Edge THAT much?[[note]] Don't take this entry seriously. I'm just having fun.[[/note]]

** The Season 2 finale finally explains it as [[spoiler: this is a completely different Earth where none of these heroes exist]].

** She will appear in Season 2 with Jenna Dewan reprising the role.

*** Jossed. John Diggle shows up at one point to deliver a piece of ARGUS tech to General Lane. He's also fully aware of the multiverse and is still obsessed with that green object he found.

** It's unlikely they went to Lex for help since he's Clark most prominent enemy and Argo was only revealed to still be around was because Winn Schott used the Harun-El's radiation signature to try to find more of it, and discovered that there was more on a meteor 5 light years away from Earth which was eventually revealed to be the city. Although given the twins were born in 2007 instead of 2018 when Winn found it Pre-Crisis makes it unlikely they were born in Argo in 2007.

* When Prime Anderson comes through the portal to Bizarro Earth, he almost immediately begins to merge with his double because he has the pendant. Furious that her own double has not come through, and that she won't be the first to merge, Ally has Jonathan-El murder Bizarro Anderson (her own loyal follower) to permanently prevent the two Andersons from ever merging. Likewise, because Bizarro Lana Lang married Tal-Rho instead of Kyle Cushing, her Prime daughters Sarah and Sophie have no Bizarro equivalents. So clearly not everyone has a double due to different circumstances on the two Earths. What do people who take Ally's drug cocktail see when they have no counterpart on the opposite Earth? What does Ally intend for those who cannot merge because they have nobody to merge with?
