Added DiffLines:

* {{Gaslighting}}: Lex is on the receiving end of this from ''Clark''. After figuring out that Clark has superpowers, he simply asks for Clark to tell him the truth, and that it will stay between them. Clark then gives Lex his work hammer and tells Lex to hit him with it, since while Lex is correct, Clark doesn't have superpowers at the moment. Lex refuses, not wanting to hit Clark even if it couldn't hurt him. The bluff works, but it still stands out as a case of emotional manipulation.
