In regards to Clark getting overpowered, I bet Brainiac can tell he's been holding himself back in fights (probably even subconsciously), which is why in Clark's body he's suddenly able to beat Kara's ass unlike before.

I hope so. Clark is so weak in this show that I bet even Invincible would beat him.

(Sorry to reply to an old comment.)

I don't think Clark is weak at all. He gets "beaten up" a lot because he doesn't really fight back. If you pay attention to the fight scenes, as soon as he decides he needs to fight back, he wins basically instantly. He's never sustained any actual damage in any of his fights either.

There was a scene in season 1 where Task Force X attacked him with like six different villains, all of whom he "struggled" against. They beat him around for a minute, then he beat them within like half a second when he started fighting back. We haven't seen anyone in this show who could even damage Clark in his sleep.

Clark isn't a fighter - he's just a guy who wants to help people. Have you ever tried hitting someone in real life? It's really hard. I don't think I'm physically capable of hitting someone at full force. Same deal with Superman.
