Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (“That Old Gang of Mine”)
Lois: He died trying to protect me. In one…lousy second…I lost my partner…and my best friend. He died without ever knowing. I never told him.
“Someday I’ll give you the inside story!”
Action Comics #70/#77
![spectroscopes:
The reason Clark’s pre-Superman heroic persona “the Blur” reaches mythic status within Metropolis is not because he has superpowers but because he leverages these powers solely on others’ behalves. As Lois acknowledges in “Stiletto”, with or without superpowers the Blur is making a huge time commitment to the people of Metropolis, and John Corben’s anger at his having saved a bus load of convicted felons in “Metallo” established that he was saving lives indiscriminately and without making value judgements about which individual lives were ‘worth’ more than others. The symbolic power of the Blur — and later Superman — within this universe is that, by setting the highest possible standard of behaviour, he inspires people to be the best possible versions of themselves. As if to underscore this idea, episodes like “Identity” and “Masquerade” showcased Clark himself, as a person, as having this effect on the people around him. In fact, “Masquerade” established that Clark as a reporter had reached near-mythic status among other reporters, police officers, and medical personnel because he so naturally and unthinkingly evinces the qualities of compassion, professionalism, and justness which define Superman as a personality and inspire trust and goodwill in the people around him — and this is identified as a potential threat to his secret identity by Lois.
