My sense is Chloe is not so Machiavellian to do this. It also carries huge risk. What if the JLA doesn't re-band? What if they re-band, but don't beat the Kandorans? What if Zod and the others gain their powers? That's the end of the planet. The JLA would just be bugs that move at a glacial pace.

Final point. I think Chloe and Clark will reconcile, and not find themselves on opposite sides anymore.

Good points. I hadn't thought of the possibility the Kandorians could actually defeat the JLA. In this case Chloe would have underestimated Kryptonian villains. However...there's another possibility. Since Chloe supposedly has been able to bring the Kandorians from Clark's past...it's very possible she has the ability to calculate the outcomes of her scenarios.

I'm guessing a part of Brainiac is still inside Chloe which lets her do mind boggling what-if scenarios at blinding speed. She may have calculated the odds of the Kandorians succeeding are very low considering she has Clark Kent, Oliver and the Orb. Threre's no way to know if Chloe KNOWS about the Orb and its capabilities. But if Chloe is working with Tess behind Clark's back it's very possible she's factored the Orb into her calculations.

All of this suggests Chloe has decided the ends justifies to means to attain her goal of stopping the bad guys. This ties in with the producers discussion about Chloe and "manipulation" with her new found "power". This goes beyond the little "trick" she pulled in Roulette. That was a warm up. In my opinion.

Thanks for the compliment. I appreciate it. I spend alot of time dreaming up these scenarios about Chloe. I might try Chloe fan fiction stories next.

For Chloe to be out of the loop about the Orb...now that would take some doing. Chloe has Watchtower which has cameras galore. She probably knows about the Orb. I'm wondering if the fact Clark hasn't told Chloe about this is one of the reasons why they're not on "friendly" terms.

Exposition wise...I would love to see a confrontation between Chloe and Clark over the acknowledgment of the Orb's existence. One thing's for sure...Chloe is NOT going to be out of the loop about the Orb's existence for much longer if that's the case.

I think that should be a new ad for AT&T. "Reach out and touch someone! And kill billions if you have to, to do it!"

Tess manufactured the Zod crisis on Earth while Chloe manufactured the Zod crisis on Krypton. There, problem solved.
