Clark or Lex? Who's Smallville's coolest?
So which of Smallville's 2 soon to be most famous sons is the cooler?
Is Clark's down home farmboy charm and whole hearted americanness what makes him such a hero, or does Lex's suave sophisticated (and bald - I know some folks really go for that look
)persona make him the show's real star?
Both Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum play thier characters exactly as I'd direct them to do and I think were literally the perfect choices for thier roles with nothing between them in the acting stakes, so I really do think it's right down to the line on this one.
For me I think it's Lex. I think the character is everything I ever wanted to be, (except bald) Incredibly academic, athletic, handsome and charming (not to mention fantastically wealthy)
I think he could give pretty much any TV bad guy a run for his money (Lex almost certainly has more), and would eat someone like Angel's Lindsey McDonald for breakfast

Yep, Lex here as well.
I always feel that the darker characters are more interesting. And the fact that we *know* future events makes it doubly so. He's come close a few times now in being found out by Clark and his development into supervillain is what makes him the cooler out of the two for me.
That's not to say Clark isn't a close second.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmLex and mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmClark
Tough choice - they poth play the characters perfectly and are both totally scrummy but i think Lex edges it. Clark is just that little bit too straight. Lex's bad boy past and teh fact that you know that he's gonna turn totally bad just make him much more exciting.

Lex is the cooler guy for sure.
Lots of character potential still left in both players so lets see how things develop

Lex for me for the reasons above and is a cool customer when dealing with unsavoury types.
