John Jones (Phil Morris), a.k.a. Martian Manhunter, was an integral part of "Smallville" who's often overlooked. He didn't appear on the show until the sixth season, but he came at a time when the show was transforming itself from just being Superman's humble origin story to a more ambitious series that featured more of the DC Universe, namely a ve...
Pete Ross (Sam Jones III) was an important member of Team Clark during the first three seasons of "Smallville." He not only assisted Clark in a variety of ways, but also gave "Smallville" a complicated character who wasn't easy to pigeonhole. Pete may have seemed like an unimportant character, especially because he was written out of the show, but ...
Milton Fine, a.k.a. Brainiac, was the secret weapon that co-creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar wanted to deploy at the perfect time in the series, especially because they knew they wanted actor James Marstersfor the role. Brainiac was introduced in the middle of the show's run when they wanted Clark to meet a new villain to fight instead of goi...
"Smallville's" version of Jimmy Olsen (Aaron Ashmore) wasn't a carbon copy of the Jimmy Olsen in the comic books. Instead, he was much more than a sidekick and newspaper photographer. Jimmy Olsen came on the "Smallville" scene in the middle of its run, when the show started bringing in more comic book elements as a way to keep the audience's intere...
Superman's famous Kryptonian nemesis was at the center of a couple of different storylines on "Smallville." The first time Zod(played by Callum Blue) was encountered, his spirit has escaped from the Phantom Zone, thanks to the work of Brainiac, and has taken over Lex Luthor. The Zod version of Lex was entertaining in an exhilarating way, because al...
On "Smallville," Jonathan Kent (John Schneider) wasn't the stereotypical TV dad; an oaf who stumbling through life with the help of his teenage son and his gorgeous wife. Instead, Jonathan Kent was believable as a loving, albeit overly protective, father, as well as a farmer who got elected to the Kansas Senate in order to protect his community's i...
Although Kara (Laura Vandervoort) didn't appear on "Smallville" until the seventh season, she played a key role in the evolution of Lex's friendship with Clark. When she finally landed on Earth, she arrived just in time to save Lex from drowning. She flew away while he was still groggy, but his glimpse of her was enough to spur him into searching f...
In "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,"Lex told Superman that "every boy's special lady is his mother." Martha Kent (Annette O'Toole) on "Smallville" was certainly a special lady, not only to Clark, but to the entire show. Like Jonathan, Martha was a realistic character and helped keep the series grounded in reality. She was incredibly important t...
No other character on "Smallville" had as much of a roller coaster story arc as Lionel Luther (John Glover). He ended his run on the show as kind of a good guy, nearly the opposite of his original personality. He started out as only a recurring character who was portrayed as the villain of the show, while Lex was still friendly toward Clark. He bec...
When Lex Luthor disappeared from "Smallville," LuthorCorp needed a new CEO, and the town of Smallville needed a new villain. Enter Tess Mercer (Cassidy Freeman). She filled both roles marvellously well. While "Smallville" had plenty of strong women, having Tess at the head of a global corporation went further in fighting stereotypical female charac...

26 votes, 34 comments. true. I would put it even lower then it is. It’s my least favorite. The Lex stuff in the last few episodes of the season was really boring and anti climactic. The rest of the sea
- Tess Mercer. By the time Tess came to Smallville, her character was just as hated as Lex. Who was Tess and why did Lex value her input so much? We would learn that she's Lex's half-sister and that her goal, just as Lex and Lionel's, was to learn the truth about Clark.
- Lana Lang. Before Lois, there was Lana. For the majority of Smallville, Clark pawned over Lana and she did the same over him. They gave a relationship a try but it was never the right timing.
- Oliver Queen. The story of Green Arrow is well known now. However, before his own show, he was just a friend of Clark's with a checkered past. While Oliver often rebelled against pairing up with others, he learned to trust Clark which made them such a great duo.
- Martha Kent. The mother who just wanted to protect her son and husband. Martha was pure of heart and filled with emotion and love. Although she didn't birth Clark, she loved and cared for him as if she did.
