8. Chip Off the Old Clark

Lois and Clark try to enjoy their first days together as an engaged couple when a woman named Leigh-Anne Stipanovic ( Susan Batten ), appears on National TV claiming to have had Superman's child, Jesse Stipanovic ( Alex D. Linz ). Clark insists that she is lying, but Lois is uncertain what to believe when Jesse picks up a sofa and flies during the interview with Leigh-Anne. While Superman asks for a DNA test, Clark investigates and finds out the reason Jesse has superpowers; Superman saved a plane from crashing and a lightning bolt hit him, transferring part of his powers to Jesse who was a passenger on the plane (like in the case of William Wallace Webster Waldecker a.k.a.

Resplendent Man in Season 2 episode "A Bolt From the Blue"). Leigh-Anne was scared that Superman would sue and take Jesse away from her. Clark told Leigh-Anne that Superman would not and understands why she did this as she loves her son. In the meantime, a criminal known as Anonymous ( Dave Coulier ), who is a master of disguise, kidnaps Jesse to use him in kidnapping the President of Fostonia. Anonymous wants the President ( Michael Kagan ) to give him the codes of a nuclear missile to launch it, something that he manages to do but Superman stops the missile in time and Anonymous is arrested. Leigh-Anne and Jesse say goodbye to Clark and Lois and want to thank Superman for saving Jesse. Leigh-Anne is enrolled in beauty school and Jesse returns to Kindergarten.
