Smallville/Characters/Clarks Allies

Dr. Virgil Swann (Christopher Reeve)
""You must write your own destiny... Kal-El.""

A wealthy scientist, Virgil Swann dedicated his life to seeking out and establishing contact with extraterrestrial life. In 1989, he received a transmission from outer space and eventually deciphered it as a message from Krypton telling of the destroyed planet's last survivor, Kal-El.

Fourteen years later, after seeing a newspaper photo of a Kryptonian symbol burned into the Kents' barn, Dr. Swann tracked down Clark Kent and invited him to his laboratory at the New York City Planetarium; when Clark came to visit him, he told him of his Kryptonian heritage and encouraged Clark to pursue his own destiny. In Season 3's "Legacy", it was revealed he was an old acquaintance of.

In Season 4's "Sacred", Swann died of unknown causes, though not before along with a final letter of encouragement. In Season 7, it's revealed that Swann, along with Lionel, the Teagues and the Queens, founded a secret society called Veritas that was dedicated to protecting Kal-El/Clark (known to them as "The Traveler"). Swann also kept a journal that was passed down to his daughter Patricia, who gave it to Clark.

Dr. Emil Hamilton (Alessandro Juliani)
A doctor and surgeon at Metropolis General Hospital, Emil is kept on retainer by Oliver Queen beginning in Season 8; as Green Arrow's inside man, his job is to look the other way when a member of the team comes in with bullet wounds or even weirder injuries. Emil's role quickly evolves, however, and he becomes the team's tech-guy, biologist, coroner and confidant -- all rolled into one. He's been to Watchtower, examined Doomsday's blood and whipped up cures for zombie viruses, among other things. All in a days work for a Superhero's MD.

 * Omnidisciplinary Scientist: Biology, medicine, technology -- Emil's good with all of it.
 * Pair the Smart Ones: With the equally bright (if in a different sort of way).

Oliver Queen / Green Arrow (Justin Hartley)
A billionaire playboy on the surface, Oliver was orphaned at a young age. This experience, combined with being stranded on an island a few years before the series began, prompted him to become a crimefighter, putting the archery skills he learned on the island to work as the Green Arrow, a leather-clad vigilante, with a sometimes shaky moral code.

First arriving in Metropolis in Season 6, Oliver dated Lois Lane and clashed with Clark over whether a pro-active or reactive approach was the best way to deal with crime. Frustrated with Clark's Heroic Neutral tendencies, Oliver gathered the proto-Justice League in an effort to shut down his old classmate Lex Luthor's Level 33.1 laboratories, eventually leaving Smallville (and Lois) to fight LuthorCorp all over the world.

Returning briefly in Season 7, Oliver had his secret outed in front of Lois during a battle with Black Canary. In Season 8, he became a regular cast member. This led to many revelations about his past, including his tortured relationship with Tess Mercer, whom he assists in taking over LuthorCorp. Forced to, Oliver would go on to struggle with an intensification of his already-existing feelings of self-loathing, emptiness and alienation, ultimately resulting in a. Entering a relationship with seemed to help snap him out of it, but her disappearance early in Season 10 sent Oliver into another downward spiral. He has since. When Desaad kidnapped her and lied to Oliver about having killed her, Oliver tried to beat the Serial Killer to death,.

A deeply screwed-up young man with an extremely negative view of himself and the world, Oliver has clashed with the more idealistic (and saner) Clark on many occasions. Despite this, he remains a loyal friend to the future Superman, a great (if flawed) Superhero Superhero, and one of the biggest Badasses in the entire show.


 * The Alcoholic: Oliver's always had a drinking problem, but.
 * Anti Hero: When we first meet him, he believes that, if a Corrupt Corporate Executive buys valuable artifacts from evil warlords or The Mafia, it's justifiable to steal the artifacts away from them and use them to fund charities. He provides the cynicism to Clark's idealism and, unlike our hero, is willing to stray from Thou Shalt Not Kill if it gets the job done.
 * The Archer: Well, duh.
 * The Artifact: As Green Arrow, he always wears a hood, dark sunglasses, and a voice modifier... even after he publicly reveals his superhero identity, making all these disguises completely unnecessary.
 * Ascended Extra: He started out as a recurring guest character for the first half of Season 6, after which Oliver left town. But fan response was so overwhelmingly positive to the character that Ollie was brought back to guest star again in an episode of Season 7, and then brought on as a full cast member from Season 8 onwards.
 * Badass: One of the biggest ones in the entire show, which ain't bad given that he's just a guy with a bow and arrow.
 * Badass Normal: Very much so.
 * Bash Brothers: With Clark by the later seasons.
 * Broken Ace: Oliver is rich and successful, moonlights as a superhero and has more women than he can handle. And he hates himself, as demonstrated by his self-destructive tendencies, alcoholism, inability to commit to anything and in Season 9.
 * The Bully: In high school.
 * Cheap Costume: A green leather hoodie and sunglasses. Somehow, he makes it look Badass.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Despair Event Horizon: Hits it in Season 9. After an intervention from Chloe, he gets better.
 * Dual Wielding: In "Dominion".
 * Expy: There are some sharp similarities between his characterization and relationship with Clark, and that of Batman. Throw in the fact that the Dark Knight Trilogy likely meant the writers couldn't use Bruce, and that makes a lot of sense all of a sudden.
 * Appropriate, given that intially Green Arrow was very much the poor man's Batman.
 * Framed for Heroism
 * Friends With Benefits: What he and Chloe try to be in Season 9, even though...
 * Everyone Can See It: That they feel for each other much more strongly than that.
 * Gun Kata: Against Lex in Season 7's "Siren".
 * Hell Bent for Leather
 * Heroic Self Deprecation: Saying that Oliver hates himself is not an understatement.
 * Honest Corporate Executive: Oliver may have no problem with using Queen Industries' money for some pretty shady purposes, but every cent of the money in question was earned honestly. He treats his employees fairly and unlike Lex, refuses to sell to the bad guys. This is actually one of his biggest problems with Tess and the Luthors--the way they let their desire for profit get in the way of ethical business practices.
 * I Did What I Had to Do: Regarding his murder of.
 * Improbable Aiming Skills
 * Ladykiller in Love: With Lois in Seasons 6 & 7. With Chloe in Seasons 9 & 10.
 * The Lancer: Started out as The Hero to the Justice League, but rapidly shaped up to be this to Clark.
 * The Masquerade Will Kill Your Dating Life: It certainly blew up his relationship with Lois.
 * Mr. Fanservice
 * Nice Job Breaking It Hero: In the Season 8 finale..
 * Parental Abandonment: His mom and dad died in a plane crash when he was very young. Guilt about it has left him very bitter.
 * Properly Paranoid: Frequently. He and Chloe collecting an arsenal of Kryptonite weapons in Season 9 may look irrational, but as the Bad Future episode "Pandora" proves, they really come in handy.
 * Really Gets Around: Tess, Lois, ... not to mention all his other conquests.
 * Secret Identity Identity: Oliver Queen really doesn't exist. Sometimes he's not sure Green Arrow does either.
 * Secret Relationship: With in Season 9. The relationship is soon discovered by Clark and Lois, though...
 * Sharp Dressed Man: Whenever he's in a suit.
 * Shoot the Dog: Seems to be his job description some days.
 * Suicide By Cop: Winslow Schott plans to kill Oliver with a bomb during one of Oliver's bleakest periods of depression and self-loathing... and Oliver actually tries to make Schott's plan work.
 * Sunglasses At Night
 * Trick Arrow: Tasers, gas -- what will he think of next?
 * Vigilante Man
 * What the Hell Hero: Courtesy of Chloe, after . He turns it around on her by pointing out that she would have done exactly the same thing.
 * You Shall Not Pass:

Justice League of America
A team assembled by Oliver in Season 6 with the intent of taking down LuthorCorp's Level 33.1, the Justice League has gone through many goals and a constantly rotating membership ever since. Simultaneously an elite strike team and a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits, the as-yet-unnamed League has handled everything from Corrupt Corporate Executives to alien invasions, all while doing their best to stay under the radar.


 * Badass Crew: Let's see -- we got the Fastest Man Alive, an Action Girl with a sonic scream, a Cyborg with Super Strength, and Aquaman. All led by the biggest Badass Normal in the show, with the occasional assist from Superman and Mars' Last Survivor. I'd say they count.
 * Big Damn Heroes: Often
 * Cheap Costume: Bart wears sunglasses and a red hoodie with a lightning bolt sewn on. Oliver wears green leather and, again, sunglasses. A.C. dresses in green scuba pants and an orange shirt. Victor wears a silver-grey jumpsuit. Dinah relies on a makeup mask, a black leather outfit and a wig in her Secret Identity. Clark, of course, had his red jacket/blue shirt combo (later a black Badass Longcoat). For bonus points, compare their looks with those of the JSA, who all wear their classic spandex costumes.
 * Deadpan Snarker: All of them on occasion, but especially Victor.
 * Five Man Band: One could make the case that, in "Justice", Green Arrow was The Hero, Clark The Lancer, A.C. The Big Guy, Victor The Smart Guy, and Bart The Chick. The addition of Black Canary and the Martian Manhunter to the team, as well as Clark and Oliver's more or less joint leadership has altered this dynamic considerably, however, and it likely no longer applies.
 * La Résistance: How they see themselves.
 * Superhero: They move closer to the archetype with every episode, but aren't quite there yet, having yet to move into the public eye or wear their classic costumes.
 * Western Terrorists: How the government -- and Lex -- see them.
 * Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: The government considers them terrorists for attacking holding facilities and blowing up Lex's 33.1 installations. The League sees themselves as freedom fighters, keeping people like Lex and Slade Wilson from experimenting on metahumans.

Bart Allen (Kyle Gallner)
A former thief gifted with Super Speed, Bart first met Clark when he saved Jonathan Kent from being hit by a car... only to immediately pick his pocket. After a rough beginning, he and Clark became friends, and Bart left town looking for other people like themselves. He later returned as a member of the Justice League and has been a key member ever since, able to respond to crises moments after they begin.

"Chloe to Bart: "I still have a boyfriend.""
 * Big Eater
 * Bratty Half Pint
 * Gratuitous Spanish: In "Justice".
 * Handsome Lech: Of the childish variety.


 * Heel Face Turn: From sneak thief to superhero. Not bad, Bart.
 * Mythology Gag: His fake identities are "Jay Garrick", "Barry Allen" and "Wally West", the first three Flashes from the comics. Bart himself in the comics became the fourth Flash.
 * Parental Abandonment
 * Required Secondary Powers: He seems to have the "super-stopping" and "resistance to friction" things down.
 * Smug Super: A mild, almost likeable version. Bart's incredibly cocky about his Super Speed, and it tends to get him into trouble.
 * Sunglasses At Night: As part of his sort-of costume.
 * Super Speed: Duh
 * Wild Mass Guessing: So which Flash is he again?
 * Likely none of the above; his code name within the series is "Impulse", which coincides with the first alias of the comics' Bart Allen.

Arthur "A.C." Curry / Orin (Alan Ritchson)
A lifeguard with a penchant for eco-terrorism and corporate sabotage, A.C.'s attempts to destroy an environmentally unfriendly weapon developed by LuthorCorp ensured that he and Clark didn't get off to the best of starts. They were able to put their differences behind them, however, in the interests of stopping Lex; following this, A.C. left Smallville. After nearly being killed while sinking a whaling ship, A.C., now calling himself "Aquaman," was drafted into Oliver's superhero team after the latter saved his life. Captured and experimented on by LuthorCorp agents alongside Black Canary, A.C. went underground (or should that be underwater?) for some time, before resurfacing in Season 10, newly married and calling himself "Orin".


 * Battle Couple: With Mera in Season 10.
 * The Beast Master: Has been shown to have some degree of ability at communicating with and controlling animals. The degree has not yet been explored.
 * Happily Married: As of Season 10's "Patriot".
 * James Bondage: Three times, courtesy of Lex, Tess and Slade.
 * Known Only By Their Nickname: Not quite, but Arthur is usually referred to as "A.C."
 * Making a Splash: Can form water into blasts or compress it into missiles. He also gains his Super Strength and Super Speed from contact with it.
 * Super Speed: In the water.
 * Super Strength: Not quite to Clark's level, but the boy can do some damage, from breaking shackles to beating five or six LuthorCorp guards to a pulp with his bare hands.
 * Surfer Dude: In his earlier appearances. Softened later, but not entirely dropped until "Patriot".
 * Surfer Speak
 * Walking Shirtless Scene: Receives a Lampshade Hanging from Victor.
 * Walking Swimsuit Scene
 * Well Intentioned Extremist: A.C. bordered on this in his first appearances, what with sinking ships and blowing up factories in order to save the environment.
 * What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway: Arthur manages to be pretty Badass despite this.

Victor Stone (Lee Thompson Young)
Presumed dead in the car crash that killed his parents and sister, Victor Stone was saved by LuthorCorp and resurrected as part of an experiment in cybernetics. Clark saved him from Lex's men and reunited him with his girlfriend, Katherine. Sometime afterwards, Victor and Katherine broke up, which led to him living on the streets; he was recruited by Oliver, who gave him a place to stay and a reason to keep on going.


 * Back From the Dead: Was reportedly killed in a car crash, but thanks to LuthorCorp technology, he's back and kicking.
 * Desperately Looking for A Purpose In Life: After his girlfriend left him, he ended up living on the streets until Oliver found and recruited him.
 * Genius Bruiser: He's their muscle and their computer hacker.
 * Hollywood Cyborg: Was re-built by LuthorCorp after a very nasty accident.
 * Hollywood Hacking: Victor can interface with any system and download himself into it, allowing him to easily break any codes.
 * I Just Want to Be Normal: In his first episode. He seems to be over it by "Justice".
 * I Owe You My Life: Towards Oliver.
 * Nigh Invulnerability: Not quite to Clark's level, but unless you're backing a laser cannon, you aren't getting through Victor's hide.
 * Parental Abandonment: His mom, dad and sister were killed in a car crash.
 * Super Strength: He can tear steel blast doors off their hinges. No kidding.
 * Token Minority: Initially, Victor is the only black member of the Justice League. The Martian Manhunter later joins, removing this status from him.
 * Twofer Token Minority: If Cyborg counts as a minority, then yes.

Dinah Lance (Alaina Huffman)
A right-wing vigilante with a passionate interest in justice, Dinah first appeared in Season 7, when she was hired by Lex Luthor to arrest Green Arrow, whom she believed to be a common criminal. After realizing she was on the wrong side, Dinah joined Oliver's team, helping to fight injustice round the world. She participated in the hunt for Clark in Season 8, helped battle Doomsday and Major Zod, and was most recently seen breaking out of the VRA's virtual prison in Season 10, alongside Clark, Oliver, Chloe and Lois.


 * Action Girl: She was pretty dark in her first appearance. She later became one of the good guys, but lost none of her Badass points.
 * Anti Hero: Is a flawed and misguided, but well-intentioned heroine in her first appearance. In her later appearances, she's a genuine heroine.
 * Blonde Republican Sex Kitten: Pretty, capable and hard right-wing.
 * Hell Bent for Leather
 * Hired Guns: Initially contracted by Lex to hunt down Green Arrow.
 * Knife Nut: Of the throwing variety.
 * Make Me Wanna Shout: She can even make Clark's ears bleed.
 * Secret Identity: Dinah Lance, which she maintains via a long, brown-haired wig, over her short blonde hair.
 * Secret Identity Identity: Black Canary is very much her real identity.
 * The Sixth Ranger
 * Strawman Political: Subverted. While her hard-right wing views are mocked by Chloe, Clark and Oliver, the show never dissects them, thus making it impossible to prove her wrong in or out of series.
 * Stocking Filler: Fishnet style.
 * Womanin Black: A non-evil example. Her outfit color nicely accentuates how dangerous she is, though.

Martian Manhunter / J'onn J'onnz / Detective John Jones (Phil Morris)
The last survivor of the extinct Martian race, J'onn J'onnz was a former intergalactic police officer, tasked with pursuing Phantom Zone criminals. A friend of Clark's biological father Jor-El, he was asked to watch over Kal-El after his arrival on Earth. First appearing in Season 6 as a guardian figure during Clark's battles with the Zoners, J'onn is, and takes on the identity of police detective John Jones. He serves as Clark and Oliver's contact inside the Metropolis PD; eventually, he now works with the Justice League on an ongoing basis.

 * Made of Air: He can turn intangible, allowing attacks to pass through him.
 * Shapeshifting
 * Voluntary Shapeshifting
 * Trademark Favourite Food: Cookies, especially Oreos.
 * Twofer Token Minority: Black and a Martian.
 * Twofer Token Minority: Black and a Martian.

 * Redheaded Hero: Garth
 * Shock and Awe: Garth, again.

 * Telepathy: Imra
 * Mind Probe: Although it backfires horribly against Brainiac.
