SV theory

[rivkat]

I said this in comments to talitha78's entry, but I wanted to offer a speculation here:

So, the Kryptonian stones of power, left by the advanced Kryptonian race for some future heir, are ... stuffed inside Kryptonite-covered artifacts? And this makes sense how?

I say: the Kryptonian heir is only worthy if he can convince humans to work with him, help him when he's at his most vulnerable. If he can't get the stones from their Krypto-protection through collaboration, he's not capable of the kind of leadership he needs to use the stones justly. (Of course, it's also possible that getting the stones through manipulating and tricking humans is fine too, in which case Clark is gonna do just great with the infinite wisdom of the stones. As J'onn once said, let's put a pin in that theory and come back to it.)

Thoughts?

But why would the signal stones be surrounded by Kryptonite? "Alert! A really reckless/stupid Kryptonian has approached!" I guess the Kryptonite would serve to incapacitate the hapless alien, but for what purpose? Keeping him there while the other Kryptonians raced to capture him?

"If you wonder how he eats and breathes, and other science facts
Say to yourself: It's just a show, I should really just relax."

Not unrelatedly, your icon reminded me that I have six SV/crossover icons with pictures from SV and text from something else. Now all I need is a Clark/Lex one that says "A long time ago/We used to be friends" and my collection will be complete.
