A fine idea!

I think Clark is the obvious choice here, though.

I voted Batman.

An interesting thinf is that couple of the big members Superman rogues gallery, Mister Mxyzptlk and Bizarro, are usually more of a pest than a villain most of the time (some stories excepted like how Alan Moore used Mxy in his big story).

Yeah, I was gonna say Mxytzptlk and Bizarro should rather be on this list than the other.

Honestly, it doesn't really matter, because Lois is gonna win this one and Luthor's gonna win the other one. I mean, COME ON.

why does Jimmy Olsen only sometimes turn into Elastic Lad?

I remember there was a time in my life when I thought that Reed Richards was just some cheap knock-off of Elastic Lad.

Was Plastic Man the original stretchy superhero, or was there someone even before him?

Can't afford the lab budget for artificial gingold.

Jimmy, just on the strength of that All-Star Superman issue that riffs on the Doomsday thing, which completely clarified why Superman is _his_ friend.
