Clark: Even if I wanted the job, Lois,
I'd never work for Lex Luthor.

Lois: Okay. Then why were you
such great friends with the guy? Looking into Lex's past, She investigated him

or just reminds him of Lex since she also knows him for a long time?
I found out just how far you two go back.
You're nothing alike. You two are nothing alike or you are nothing like him?

She investigated his background.

This is not a very natural form of words to me. I take it to mean "You two are quite different in character/personality".

 

(Your two alternatives mean the same thing to me, by the way.)
