The 10 Biggest Changes Smallville Made To Superman & His World

Tom Welling's Older Superman Is Reborn In Smallville Season 11 Concept Trailer

Smallville has a complicated relationship with the wider Superman universe. It simultaneously serves as a prequel showing Clark Kent's teenage years and a re-imagining of his early years as a superhero. Though Clark does not officially become Superman until the final episode, he's already a hero. In fact, he faces many of his biggest foes, joins the proto-Justice League, and even falls in love with Lois Lane, all before he dons the cape.

9 Clark’s Closest Ally Was An Original Character Chloe Sullivan Sticks With Clark Through Thick And Thin Close Chloe Sullivan is the only character other than Clark to retain main role status throughout all 10 seasons of Smallville. She starts off as Clark's friend with a not-so-secret crush on him, and the two go through a roller coaster of emotions before becoming cemented as each other's closest platonic relationship. Chloe borrows a lot of traits from Lois Lane.

7 Doomsday Has A “Human” Side Davis Bloome Had Anger Issues Close &#x2715 Remove Ads One of the strange decisions the writers of Smallville made was to incorporate Doomsday--as in the character most known for killing Superman. This iteration of the character was unusual at best. Instead of being a pure monster, Doomsday had a human alter ego, Davis Bloome.

&#x2715 Remove Ads Aside from the Kawatche Caves, there's another instance of Kryptonians visiting Earth before Clark. Jor-El actually came to earth in 1961, where he met and fell in love with Lana Lang's great aunt, Louise. He also met Hiram Kent, Jonathan Kent's father and, due to his kindness, decided to send his infant son to Kent Farm upon the fall of Krypton. Clark's arrival in Smallville was heralded both by the original Kryptonian and Jor-El.

Moreover, Lionel was such an iconic presence that he's now canon in a fair amount of DC media. For example, he appears in"Flashpoint" and"Forever Evil," before having a larger role in DC's Rebirth relaunch. His popularity is largely tied to the performance of John Glover, who made Lionel a fan favorite due to the gravitas he brought to Smallville.
