"Your Honor, I'd like to present the following files labeled 
Prosecution Exhibits G through P, regarding the following 
individuals who have at one time or another demonstrated similar 
capabilities: Lar Gand, sometimes known as "Mon-El"; General Dru-
Zod; Quex-Ul; Jax Ur; ...  (I omit the various women with similar 
capabilities-- Supergirl, Faora Hu-Ul, etc.  We will stipulate the 
witness's ***.)

"I would also like to introduce these exhibits denoting individuals 
who look *exactly like* the witness, among whom are included some 
who have demonstrated similar capabilities and some who have not.  
These include Van-Zee of Kandor; Don-El of Kandor; Clark Kent, a 
re****ter residing in Metropolis; Gregory Reed, an actor residing in 
Metropolis; ..."

"To sum up, I believe we have adequately demonstrated the need for 
more positive legal identification for this witness."
