Way, way back. One of the panelists at Phauxcon two years ago did a fascinating presentation on the history of all the 'ships in the Superman mythos. Not having ever been into the Superman thing (Batman fan, here.), but whose spouse was into Superman's story, I was fascinated to learn that, in the comic books, Lex and Chloe were a 'ship.
My husband, who's watched a few more SV's than I, told me that he stopped watching because he thought Lois looked considerably older than Clark, and he just couldn't buy them together. (I always love it when guys turn out to be 'shippers. :-) )

Impossible, as Chloe was never around in the comics. (Unless one subscribes to the Chlois Theory - given that Chloe is taken pretty much wholesale from the Lois Lane arc in World of Metropolis. And even then, Lex and that Lois were not a ship.)

Interesting; I know plenty of people who ship Chlark (or are Chloiser and ship 'Clois' that way by default) in part because they reject EDLo as a viable option [either as a LI or as Lois herself]; it's always interesting to hear another take on it from outside the fannish realm.
