By marrying Lois and keeping his powers he would have the same sort of problem. If the marriage were known, Bad Guys could use him through Lois. Even if the marriage were kept secret there would be too great a risk that somehow it would be found out. Mark Friedman ...harpo!inmet!bobo ...esquire!inmet!bobo ...ima!inmet!bobo
