Lex, Clark Kent and Supermans relationship; a trilogy

In a world where Superman exists, I believe that a man like Lex would cut corners; he’d create a world where Superman is your corporate social responsibility plan.  Lex is the very embodiment of the terrible things that humans can do to each other.

Why does Superman need Clark Kent?

Need to increase your margin on the creation of a new power plant? Lex would put humans lives at risk to increase his bottom line. Oil spill, reactor failure? No problem. He’d know that Superman would fix the human impact every time.

The man of steel cannot stand against single governments or corporations alone. This is why Superman needs Clark Kent, as the human voice of what is right, to help humans help themselves to do the right thing and to tell himself that humans can make a difference (there’s an analogy to here to the concepts within Christianity where Jesus came to earth as a man, worth exploring).
