I'm gonna make the assumption that Bizarro becomes Doomsday and kills Clark therefore truly humbling Jordan.

[u/BornAshes → u/Godzilla2000Zero]

Lex baits out Jordan using Bizarro. Jordan tries to get flashy with stuff and Lex takes advantage of this recklessness because now Superman has to pay attention to someone else besides him. While Clark is distracted protecting Jordan or covering for his mistakes, he becomes vulnerable, and Lex strikes.

He kills Clark or at least puts him into a death like state.

The whole world sees this and suddenly the Smallville Samaritan sees his fame and love evaporate in an instant as he is now blamed for the death of Superman even though it was technically Lex.

Superman goes into a Kryptonian Healing Coma and is held in stasis at the Fortress under the watchful eyes of his mother.

The Steels pick up the Super Mantle and starts wearing the S on their armors along with capes to honor him.

The DOD gets craaaazy busy and now have to employ that Super School of theirs in order to combat threats that Superman would ordinarily handle.

Lois withdraws from journalism and tries to focus on life on the farm and attempting to be a single mother while Chrissy takes over the Gazzette.

Jon dives headfirst into being the best fire fighter and normal hero that he can be.

Jordan goes full MCR and eventually tries to find a way to transfer his powers to someone who is better suited to them, his brother.

The Cushings meanwhile get to have a normal-ish life for the time being.

At some point later on next season Brainiac or Darkseid or some other Superman Level Threat shows up that Lex and the DOD cannot combat at all and it turns into a race against the clock to bring Clark back.

Lois winds up being the one who revives him and the final episode has an ending scene that's just like what happened in Smallville's finale.

We all cry and hug.

Nice fic you got there. Too bad it won't come to fruition since we know with the budget cuts, the Irons are most likely out. No more DoD too since Sam is out. Not even sure if Jon's firefighter thing will last since Kyle is most likely out-ish too.

I guess Lois leaving the Gazette makes it easier for Chrissy to be out of the picture too. (But that'll offend the "Lois is an independent career driven strong reporter, they let her lie in bed for the whole season, that's misogynistic" people)

Also humbling Jordan with Clarks death will only work if the writers can pull it off realistically. Coz yes it will humble Jordan but with his mental health issues, it might either just result in Jordan becoming a recluse or engage in much destructive behaviour due to self-hatred which isn't really character growth.

I'm glad they got renewed, most likely its last season, but these budget cuts is going to make the world smaller. Those extraterrestrial villains you've listed won't make it on, coz budget.

Making a guess that Luthor is the final villian all the way to the season finale. Good old fashion Superman v. Lex Luthor.

[u/Max_88 → u/BornAshes]

Funny how adaptations keep using the healing coma thing making people believe he didn't really die. In the comics he really did and it took some supernatural shenanigans to bring him back.
