What if: Visiting Kandor
Whenever Superman visits Kandor, it is both something to look forward to and something to dread.
He gets to enjoy being with his Kryptonian family and being a normal if somewhat celebrity life.
He loves spending time with wise yet kind Uncle Zor-El, his austere Aunt Alura, and their playful, loving daughters.
He admires and respects his cousins Don-El & Van-Zee.
And he enjoys spending time with various individuals, both within and outside of the House.
However
The adults of the inner circle of the House of El always had a meeting.
And the final agenda of the meeting,
Every. Single. Time.
The threat of one Lex Luthor.
Kal-El has to convince his House NOT to interfere with his dispute with Luthor.
Every time!
His uncle, the Head of Kandor’s ruling council & Elder of the House of El, voices his concerns.
His cousin Van-Zee hints in a way only Kal understands that he could help as Nightwing.
Son-Zod, a foster child of Zor-El and Alura (think JL: Gods and Monsters), insinuates having him assassinated.
Don-El, head of Kandor’s police force, is actually in favor of this as he doubts the Phantom Zone could hold someone as dangerous as Luthor.
Kal-El frequently has to voice he has it handled, Luthor doesn’t know about Kandor, it’s safer for Kandor to remain hidden, he’s careful with his disguise, his suit has some resistance against Kryptonite, no he will not wear a War Suit as it will scare the general population, NO he will not disgrace the House of El be condoning an assassination!
“Lex Luthor is the father of MY child, & therefore MY responsibility!”
That is usually what ends the debate.
And what usually follows is Don-El, the head of the House of El, informing his younger cousin that if Luthor becomes an active threat to Kandor’s people, he WILL act.
The only one Kal-El can comfortably talk about this issue with is Val-Zod, another foster child of Zor & Alura.

Idea 💡 ✍️:
What if Superman was severely injured after Doomsday (or other event) and had to be taken to Kandor for emergency healing?
Thing is, because of the extent of his injuries and the limited resources that need to be prioritized, he had to stay in Kandor for the foreseeable future.
Luthor, impatient as hell, sets out to find Superman. He’s used connections, hacking, blackmail, & he still can’t find the blasted alien. He finally turns to magic and gets a lead.
He finally found out about Kandor and spies on it. Luthor finds Superman basically acting like if Clark had actually lived on Kandor. He sees Kal undergoing painful basic treatments that are used to teach medical students because Kal wanted to make sure the more advanced tech was ready to be used in case of an emergency (think severe scarring on a majority of his body).
In the meantime, he spends his time learning of Krypton (at times struggling with a culture he was born into but not raised in) and teaching about Earth (he speaks so fondly of it), he has to deal with a very flirty former Phantom Zone prisoner on parole: Jax-Ur, the Kryptonian equivalent of Lex Luthor.
A (not smitten by Superman’s human side that loves both of his homes and peoples and most certainly NOT jealous of the suave genius courting Superman) Lex Luthor assembled a team that successfully breaks into Kandor and sneaks under the radar.
Unfortunately, he did not account for the Kryptonian version of Batman & Robin: Nightwing & Flamebird. Two people whose identities allow them to know EXACTLY who Lex luthor is and what he’s done to Kal.
Suffice to say, members of the House of El, whether or not they bare that name, have a LOW opinion of Lex Luthor. Especially Don-El, who is the Head of the Kryptonian Police.
How will Lex Luthor manage to avoid the scrutiny of those belonging to an advanced culture to claim his prize?

Don-El is not related to Kal-El at all. Not even a very distant cousin (he's not related in any way to Errok-El)

at this point i think the only way of salvaging slime's and mariana's relationship in canon is exiling them together in the desert. either they fight each other to perma dead or they cooperate and somehow fix their marital problems, then proceed to have more minecraft sex with coldplay playing on the background.

What if:
One day, a shining force teleported Lex Luthor and a few others (ie can be villains like Deathstroke, Savage, Talia Al’Gul, etc. Or heroes like Superman whatever floats the writer’s boat) into a smoky somewhat homemade lab. (Think basement with wooden beams)
Cue an older Lex Luthor looking like a deer facing headlights.
Door opens above revealing stairs leading up. It also reveals a not nearly as muscular Clark Kent without glasses in a robe, looking down onto the stilled chaos.
For a moment, silent shock. Then Clark just facepalms and says, “Lex, I am too pregnant for this. Fix it.”
And just leaves with the door open, letting light into the manor’s cellar that acts as Lex’s private lab.
A manor located in farmland outside of Metropolis where Lex and Clark settled after merging their families consisting of:
Conner_ conceived in Smallville by the two and given birth to by Clark
Chris_ born Lor-Zod, adopted by Clark and his late wife Lois
Jon_ one of the Clark & Lois twins
Jordan_ one of the Clark & Lois twins; no powers?
?Clara_ Clark and Lois’s little daughter
Lena_ Lex’s only child (with his ex-wife Erica)
Cue older Lex panicking, Clark & Conner just being done, Jor delighting in step-dad’s misery, Chris & Jon worrying, and the girls very curious.
If the writer so choose, throw in the couple expecting Clark’s Kryptonian relatives coming to visit. Said relatives are still weary of Lex, except for one.
Don-El DESPISES Lex.
