Meet the characters from Smallville

Clark Kent

Clark is the quietly intense heart of Smallville — the awkward farm boy vibe with this whole secret-alien thing simmering underneath. He’s earnest, stubborn in the best way, and somehow always ends up saving the day even when he swears he’s just doing chores (classic). Loves small-town routines but also has this cosmic destiny, and he’ll probably rescue a cat and the world in the same afternoon — true story, maybe. Wears glasses like it’s a costume and yet somehow looks like he just forgot to be mysterious. Also, I’m pretty sure he hoards button-up shirts and has an unhealthy amount of pie in his fridge, which is adorable and makes no sense.

Lana Lang

Lana is sunshine with a steel core — you get the wistful hometown girl who’s been through heartbreak and come out sharper, more complicated. She cares fiercely, can be suspiciously private (which is ironic because she knows everyone’s business), and she’s the kind of person who will both run a fundraiser and smash a phone in a dramatic cliff scene. Romantic and practical in weird combos, she’ll make a dramatic speech and then buy a truck to fix something herself. Sometimes she’s tragically fragile, sometimes she’s the one throwing the punch, and both are true and kind of glorious. Also: she has a favorite necklace she never takes off and probably cries watching commercials, for no reason.

Lex Luthor

Lex is the deliciously unstable genius who cultivates charm like it’s a weapon — smooth, scheming, and always two steps ahead (or three; he counts his steps). He’s brilliant with an ego that could power a small country and treats manipulation like an artform, yet there are these moments where you catch him being weirdly sincere, which is terrifying. Loves business deals and chess and making people prove themselves, and also owns a collection of vintage cufflinks because style matters even when you’re plotting. He’ll donate to a clinic and then quietly sabotage it the next week; classic Lex. Oh, and he’s inexplicably sentimental about red pens? Don’t ask, it makes no sense but fits.

Chloe Sullivan

Chloe is pure, buzzing curiosity — the conspiracy board queen who will map out a mystery in the margins of her notebook and probably sleep under a desk to follow a lead. She’s endlessly loyal, hilarious in a dry, chaotic way, and somehow knows way too much about obscure local legends and the town’s Wi-Fi passwords. A total reporter-at-heart energy but with this warm, messy empathy; she’ll bake you cookies and then hack your email (consensually, I think). Keeps a shrine of sticky notes and once lied about her age to get into a library archive, which feels exactly like her. Also, she has a habit of naming random household items and arguing with them, which is both adorable and slightly alarming.

Martha Kent

Martha is the grounding force — the mom who feeds you when you’re starving and gives the kind of advice that lands weeks later when you’re staring at a microwave dinner and thinking about life. Gentle but fierce in a quiet way, she’s the small-town moral compass who can make you feel safe and also stare you down if you cross a line. She’s practical (farm dinners, home remedies) but also reads whole books in a weekend and will cry at the dumbest things, like a washing machine commercial or a well-behaved sunrise. Loves making casseroles and has a secret stash of motivational quotes on the inside of her pantry door. Also, she gossip-slams with the best of them — don’t underestimate the Kent tea.

Jonathan Kent

Jonathan is the tough-love dad archetype but with so much heart — stoic farmer, practical, endlessly protective, the kind of man who’ll fix your truck and your emotional life in the same afternoon. He’s strict about responsibility but will drop everything if someone needs help, which is messy and heroic and sometimes makes him contradict himself in the most human ways. He teaches through example, swears like a sailor when he’s scared, and judges bad fashion choices silently but memorably. Loves old country songs and has a belt buckle that’s seen better days but means the world to him. Also, he cries in the barn sometimes, which is low-key the best thing ever because it means he cares more than he says.

Lionel Luthor

Lionel is a velvet-gloved menace — polished, brilliant, and oh so dangerous; he carries the world with a smirk and will dismantle you with a cocktail napkin and a raised eyebrow. He’s corporate royalty with a taste for power plays and subtle cruelty, but you catch these tiny, human flashes — an old jazz record he hums or a tiny orchid he fusses over — and it makes him all the more unsettling. Loves control, collects secrets like souvenirs, and is the sort of villain who could host a charity gala and a hostile takeover in one evening. He’s charming enough to make you trust him for a second and then you realize you were the chess piece, not the player. Also, his laugh is oddly musical and totally untrustworthy.

Lois Lane

Lois is a hurricane of words and gumption — sharp, relentless, and endlessly curious, she will chase a story into a thunderstorm and then write a scathing takedown over coffee. She’s fearless, sarcastic in a way that’s somehow comforting, and has this weird habit of carrying tape recorders like tiny trophies (and sandwiches, always sandwiches). Disorganized but hyper-organized in her own brain, she’ll lose her keys and still archive every source she’s ever had since 2003. Hates being underestimated and will yell it into existence if she has to; also inexplicably fond of bad diner pie, which is somehow her power food.
