What if there really was a man named Clark Kent, who had superpowers?
What if
there really was a Lois Lane and Jimmy Olson?
Imagine, in 1940, a new reporter of the New York Times named Clark
Kent
is at the forefront of of a series of stories of a "phantom hero" who
has been
stopping crime in New York City? An attempted robbery is stopped
by a mysterious stranger who moves at such an incredibly fast speed
that only "a blue blur" is seen by witnesses (as in OLT is seen on
the Smallville TV program).
Perpetrators of crimes are wisked away against their will by this
blurred hero and left
inside New York City Police Headquarters. A series of attempted
shootings
are stopped by this fast-moving person- the intended victum is pushed
out of the
way before the bullet can harm them.
Mr. Kent seems to get the stories on these attemped crimes before
anyone else
at the New York Times is aware of them. As it turns out Mr. Kent is
not human-
though he appears to be one. He was found in a crashed, abandoned air
craft
which was unlike any on earth. A couple from a small town found him
as
an infant, among the wreckage of the craft. They raised him as their
own son
and named him Clark.
Back to 1940: Mr Kent has been a reporter for the New York Times for
the past five years and has won 2 majore journalism awards. He is
romantically
involved with another reporter at the Times, Lois Lane. He uses a
young
20 year old photographer, Jimmy Olson, to take the photos while Mr.
Kent
reports on the story.
In December, 1941, the Japanese military attempt a surprise attack
from their
aircraft onto the main Naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. An amazing
thing
happens when the bombs fall from their airplanes. The bombs explode
in
mid-air, never hitting any of the U.S. Naval ships. A "blue blurr"
swirls in
the air, surrounding each aircraft and causing confusion to the
Japanese
pilots, who return their airplanes swiftly back to the aircraft
carrier from
which they came.
At this time, Clark Kenk was vacationing in Hawaii, on the same island
as
Pearl Harbor. He and his new wife, Lois Lane, were celebrating their
honeymoon.
President Franklin D Roosevelt, in Washington DC, is notified of
the attempted attack by Japanese forces and the mysterious
"blue blur" which seemed to thwart the attack.
Although the attack did not successfully occur, the President
addresses
the U.S. Congress to request a declaration of war, as Japan intended
to destroy the Pearl Harbor Naval Base. He also requests J. Edgar
Hoover,
the F.B.I. director, to launch a investigation into what- or who
prevented
the Japanese attack.
The police authorities are contacted about similar "blue blur"
occurances
in New York City, by Mr. Hoover, who believes this is the same "hero"
who stopped the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Would Clark Kent next do foreign correspondent reporting in Great
Britain,
representing the New York Times? If so, would a mysterious "blue
blur"
be reported as German military forces would return to Berlin, the
Nazis
abandoning all the countries they conquered?
Would, for no apparent reason, Adolf Hitler would be arrested and
executed
by German Army generals and executed- the Nazi forces then
surrendering
to the Allied forces? Would reports of a mysterious, fast-moving
"blue blur"
causing chaos in Berlin have anything to do with this?
Any feedback? (please be creative, not insulting)
