It was an interesting interpretation. I don't wholly approve of what they did with him (see VIOLATING CHLOE) but it was interesting nonetheless. He was an exchange student who Lionel Luthor had brought over (most likely because he found out about what Mxyzptlk could do) and he was a very successful bookie in Metropolis (and Smallville). Which seems a good grounded-in-'reality' kind of explanation. Wish they'd done more with his name, though.
