No, I haven't seen it, but I understand the concept (what I'm thinking of is Jenn's Handful of Dust fic, and basing on what you described, the're about the same) and I'd agree with you if Clark showed any indication of actually having fun with what he was doing. But he doesn't.
He keeps hating his gifts, he keeps feeling helpless cause there's nothing he can do, he keeps feeling *guilty* because he can't save everyone and has to pick and choose what he does and hurt people in the process.
If Clark *didn't* have that reaction, then yes, I'd agree with you that he is far more of a danger than I think he is, at this point. But as it is, (to me, anyway) Clark reads as a very reluctant hero, being pushed into his destiny by his guilt over the meteor rocks that came with him to Smallville. And I don't think a very reluctant anything can later, in turn, become a deadly anything, because he doesn't have the drive or the desire for it.
