Superman's appeal is the fantasy of good and strong being one person. The danger of this fantasy is the dubious idea -- embraced wholeheartedly by, among others, the Project for a New American Century -- that virtue is a sufficient check on the otherwise unrestrained might of a Superman or a superpower.
All of which is to say I was glad to see that non-canonical Chloe keeps a chunk of kryptonite in her desk drawer, just in case.
