He stands there, watching the empty street, until he hears an alarm blaring. A man darts into an alley, arms laden with boxes. "Those don't belong to you," Clark says. Well, yes, that's why he's stealing them. The man looks up and sees Clark standing on the roof above him. The thief runs, but finds the alley blocked by a fence. Clark whooshes up behind him. The thief damn near bursts into tears. "You stay away from me!" His voice shakes. "Why are you so afraid?" Clark asks. A super-powered alien just caught him stealing Blu-Ray players. Why do you think he's afraid? The thief crumples to his knees, crying, "No one sees Ultraman and lives to tell about it." [Then how did the thief recognize Clark as Ultraman, and not just some guy on a roof? - Z] Clark backs away. "Lionel turned me into a murderer," he says to himself. He turns and faces a U-shield that's been painted onto a brick wall. Clark looks up and up some more and the sky goes from grainy gray...

...to sparkly blue, transitioning us to the more familiar Metropolis. Well, sort of. Things appear to have been spiffed up a bit to contrast the darker universe. The alley is now so clean you could eat off it, if you were so inclined. Even the dumpster is a particularly perky shade of blue. There's a bright red S-shield painted on the brick wall. The "more fun version" of Clark stands in the alleyway, sleeves rolled up to show us the scar on his right forearm. The flesh has been branded with the Luthor medallion seen in the episode's opening shot. Fun Clark smiles. This world's skin-flattering sunlight pleases him.
