sinanju Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Re: Reviewing Teen Champions (& Ravenswood Academy) Just to add another couple of nickles while I'm online: the whole "no one notices" issue doesn't bug me. Its rather in genre actually. Lois Lane never noticed that Clark Kent was really Superman for a long' date=' long time. Asking for realism from a genre that features a guy who flies around with his underwear on the outside is a bit ... unrealistic?[/quote'] Who told you that? Of course she noticed. It's obvious. What you don't understand is that Kal-El is surrounded by a decades-long government-funded project to make sure his "secret identity" isn't revealed to the world. Lois, Jimmy, Perry--everyone Clark runs into in the course of his day--is in on the secret; they're all on the government payroll. Yeah, occasional "civilian" stumbles on the secret--and gets bought off, scared off, or (rarely) simply...disappears if they won't play ball. The Daily Planet would have gone under decades ago if it weren't being secretly subsidized by the federal government. Everyone in Clark's life has an understudy waiting in the wings to replace them. Kal-El is nearly 70 and shows no sign of getting old (he's apparently immortal in addition to being invulnerable). This whole thing started, see, when the real Lois was killed by gangsters over a story she was investigating in the 1940s. Clark went insane with grief and found a woman who bore a startling resemblance to the late Lois and convinced himself she was Lois, albeit with amnesia. There was no convincing him otherwise and ultimately "Lois" had to accept her new life. And the Project was born. Everyone important to Clark's psychotic fixation on his "secret identity" was given an understudy. There've been several Perrys, a couple of Jimmys, and numerous Loises. Even several Luthors.
