Tom Welling's Superman from Smallville next to Callum Blue as General Zod in season 9
Smallville is one of those series that sticks with the viewer—or at least, as a lifelong Superman enthusiast, it sticks with me. It follows Tom Welling as a teenage Clark Kent prior to becoming Superman as he grapples with gaining new abilities, discovering his Kryptonian heritage, protecting his secret identity, and coping with high school drama. The other essential element of the series is Clark's ill-fated friendship with a young Lex Luthor, played by Michael Rosenbaum.
Faora's Unusual Introduction To Smallville Both Zod And Faora Debut Before They Become Major Characters In Smallville's Story Close In Smallville, Faora shares another unique trait with her husband: they both possess other characters before physically appearing in the show. Season five, episode 22 and season six, episode one, see General Zod possess Lex, while season eight, episode eight, has Faora take over Lois after the latter escapes the Phantom Zone.
Unfortunately, that's when Amanda Waller does what she does best: completely ruin someone else's life. Waller and her organization, Checkmate, capture the Kryptonians, and Faora offers to cooperate with her. Before she can, Zod—now with powers—arrives and takes her away. Zod:"If I ever learned that insurrection had spread across my ranks... If I ever discovered that my men had aligned themselves against me, I would raze this planet. I would burn it to the ground til the last ember went cold beneath my boot. Now only I will lead us to the next age; All will follow Zod."Faora:"I know more than you ever will." After Faora refuses to kneel before Zod, he strangles her to death.
While her murder dances on the line of"fridging" due to her lack of relevance throughout season nine, Faora's arc is memorable. She is supposed to be someone Zod loves, yet he callously murders her when she doesn't bend to his will. This could have made a more substantial impact if the viewers were given more reason to care about Faora.
