The most recent episode of Superman & Lois introduced an enemy that Clark cant beat.
His superhuman abilities are nearly limitless, and only Kryptonite or magic can truly throw off his game.
But what happens when Lois is afflicted with something that cant be fixed with heat vision or freeze breath?
In essence, Lois cancer became the true villain of Season 3.
Showrunner Brent Fletcher broke down the shocking reveal (viaTVLine).
We thought long and hard about it, and we felt like we had something to say.
Fletcher reassures that this is not the case:
Were not going to despair and darkness all the time.
But I actually think its pretty wonderful.
This storyline hasnt been done, and cancer is such a prevalent force in so many peoples lives.
I thought it was exciting, and I hope the fans feel the same way.
But this is something much different.
Clark going up against something that his powers just cant fix is a recurring aspect of the character.
Even inSuperman & Lois, its established that he lost his father Johnathan to a heart attack.
The Man of Tomorrow, even with all his strength, just cant solve everything.
Sadly, about 42,000 women in the real-world United States pass away from breast cancer every year.
