Clark doesn't want to make Doc upset, or make anyone upset. "The thing about Jor-El... he may sound like my father and act like my father, but he's still a computer. Someone programmed him. And I'm guessing it was in a hurry, before the planet exploded. He can be a bit glitchy, and it doesn't make what he does okay but it does explain some of it."
He shakes his head. "No, this was actually before that. He wanted me to abandon my human life and go on some big Kryptonian quest, and since I was still under the impression his goal was for me to conquer, I said no. So he burned the symbol into my chest." He traces it out, where the scar was, and it's kind of horrifyingly large (http://redirectingat.com/?id=12593X700933&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.wikia.com%2Fsmallville%2Fimages%2Fe%2Fe6%2FSmallville-301-05.jpg&sref=http%3A%2F%2Fsmallville.wikia.com%2Fwiki%2FMark_of_El).
