Uuggghh, sorry, but I just can't buy this. There is a gap as wide as the Pacific between 'being a total push-over' and 'beating the crap out of bullies', and making Clark stick to the former despite all sense makes me think he really IS a spineless whimp when I really shouldn't.

Seeing comic book writers - or writers in general - try to write about bullying drives me nuts, because it's obvious they have no idea how it works and how totally damaging it is. Instead they do the same old cliche of total over-the-top villainy that you can't take seriously.

I mean, honestly, they shove Clark out of line at the cinema and trip him in the middle of the street, and yet no one in this small town notices and tell the kids parents. Why not? Oh wait, because then the bullying would stop and there's no drama. Oy.
