Clark's Allies -- Humans

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 Lionel Luthor, who attempted to get info about Clark out of him. At the end of the episode, Swann somehow managed to get ahold of the key to Clark's spaceship.

In Season 4's "Sacred", Swann died of unknown causes, though not before returning the spaceship key to Clark 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.

• Deadpan Snarker
• Killed Off for Real
• Reasonable Authority Figure

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.

• The Coroner: Frequently gets to examine the bodies of the latest super-powered Serial Killer's victims.
• Elvis Impersonator: In "Fortune". Seriously.
• Gadgeteer Genius: EMP grenades, high-tech cars—you name it.
• Hey, It's That Guy!: Wait... L?!
  • Gaeta?!
  • Gambit?!
• Hidden Depths: Turns out he's a hell of a singer, but hasn't performed—or even had a good time—since his wife died.
• Hollywood Nerd: Type II. Unlike many examples, however, he at least acts the part.
• Home Porn Movie: Films one with Tess while drunk.
• Kissing Under the Influence: With Tess in "Fortune". Heads right into Aliens Made Them Do It.
• The Quiet One: Very calm and reserved.
• The Medic
• Messy Hair
• Nerd Glasses
• Non-Action Guy: Emil has no fighting skills and doesn't pretend to, panicking very easily when threatened with physical violence. He never betrays the team though, even under threat of torture.
• No Sense of Humor: Often played this way. It's not so much that he's humorless, but that he's a very serious person with no time for jokes.
• 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) Tess.
• Secret Keeper: For the entire Justice League. He keeps it in the face of a VRA interrogation to boot.
• The Smart Guy: Frequently plays this role to Oliver, Clark and company.

  • Badass Longcoat
• Dead Little Sister: Her mother.

• Meganekko: In her civilian guise.

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 kill Lex in "Requiem", Oliver would go on to struggle with an intensification of his already-existing feelings of self-loathing, emptiness and alienation, ultimately resulting in a suicide attempt. Entering a relationship with Chloe seemed to help snap him out of it, but her disappearance early in Season 10 sent Oliver into another downward spiral. He has since revealed his identity to the public, had several bad run-ins with the VRA, and resumed his relationship with Chloe. When Desaad kidnapped her and lied to Oliver about having killed her, Oliver tried to beat the Serial Killer to death, resulting in his apparent corruption by Darkseid. He is eventually freed from this corruption after attacking Clark in the Grand Finale, and defeats the Disciples of Darkseid, redeeming himself.

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 in Season 9, he descends into this.
• 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 attempted suicide in Season 9.
• The Bully: In high school.
• Cheap Costume: A green leather hoodie and sunglasses. Somehow, he makes it look Badass.
• The Corruptible: As proven by Desaad in "Masquerade" and referenced by General Zod in "Dominion".
• 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 Lex.
• Improbable Aiming Skills
• Interrupted Suicide: Clark stops Toyman's bomb before Oliver can use it to kill himself in Season 9's "Echo".
• 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. He and Chloe are more or less responsible for Jimmy's death.
• 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, Chloe... 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 Chloe 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 his murder of Lex. He turns it around on her by pointing out that she would have done exactly the same thing.
• You Shall Not Pass: In the Bad Future episode. Badass.

Justice League of America

The Original Five

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.

• Big Eater
• Bratty Half-Pint
• Gratuitous Spanish: In "Justice".
• Handsome Lech: Of the childish variety.

Chloe to Bart: "I still have a boyfriend."

• 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.
• Woman in 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 depowered in the Season 8 premiere "Odyssey" after saving Clark's life, and takes on the identity of police detective John Jones. He serves as Clark and Oliver's contact inside the Metropolis PD; eventually regaining his powers thanks to Doctor Fate, he now works with the Justice League on an ongoing basis.

• Alliterative Name
• Badass
  • Badass Boast: "I'm Mars' last survivor. There's a reason for that."
  • Badass Longcoat
• Big Damn Heroes: His role in many episodes is to burst in at the last moment and save the day.
• Brought Down to Normal: At the start of Season 8 as a result of flying a dying Clark (who lost his powers yet again) to the Sun in order to restore his powers.
  • This gets reversed in Season 9's "Absolute Justice" thanks to Doctor Fate.
• Cool Old Guy
• A Form You Are Comfortable With: Why he normally appears as a black guy, instead of a green-skinned Martian.
• Last of His Kind
• Mentor: To Clark, and the rest of the League.
• Mysterious Protector: At first.
• The Obi-Wan
• Reasonable Authority Figure: In his guise as a cop.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Well, if you're a villain, anyway.
• Shapeshifter Mode Lock: Gets trapped in human form in Season 8.
• Superhero Packing Heat: Following his Shapeshifter Mode Lock, yes.
• Superpower Lottery: Like Brainiac, John is a major winner. Let's see:
  • Eye Beams
  • Flying Brick: Has Super Speed, Super Strength and Flight. While he lacks the usual Nigh Invulnerability, he compensates by having a Healing Factor (that unfortunately doesn't work in Earth's atmosphere) and being...
  • 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.

The Legion of Super Heroes -- Rokk Krinn (Ryan Kennedy), Imra Ardeen (Alexz Johnson), Garth Ranzz (Calum Worthy), Brainiac 5 (James Marsters)

A description of the character goes here.

• Book Dumb: Garth is implied to be this.
• Extra Ore Dinary: Rokk
• Fan Boy: Garth is an unabashed Kal-El fanboy. Fortunately, it's one of the rare harmless examples of this in-show.
• Fantastic Racism: Have suffered it, courtesy of radical Humanists.
• Gadgeteer Genius: Brainiac 5. He's the one behind the Flight Rings and most of their other tech.
• Freudian Trio: Garth's the Id, Rokk the Ego, and Imra the Superego. This is more or less consistent with their portrayal in the comics.
• Heel Face Turn: The Legion re-programs Brainiac into Brainiac 5.
• The Hero: Rokk
• Human Aliens: Imra, Garth, and Rokk all look pretty darn human.
• Kuudere: Imra comes off like The Stoic thanks to her Telepathy, but as the episode shows, she really does have a heart in there.
• Mythology Gag: Garth asks Clark to sign a baseball for his sister. Those who've read the Legion comics know that she's Light Lass, one of the other Legionnaires.

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

• Alliterative Name

• Hot Witch
• Hypnotize Clark Kent
• Kissing Under the Influence: Does it to Clark, although her intent isn't malicious.

A description of the character goes here.

• Action Girl: Stargirl

• Carry a Big Stick: Hawkman's mace. His wife seems to have favored an Epic Flail.
• Cute Bruiser: Stargirl
• Dawson Casting: Britt Irvin was born in 1984. She plays a high-school sophomore. To be fair to Miss Irvin, she doesn't do a bad impression of a teenager.
• Death Seeker: Hawkman, and possibly Doctor Fate.
• Dying Moment of Awesome: Hawkman. He fights Slade, is mortally wounded and set on fire, yet still flies to Lois' rescue before going out like the Badass he is.
• Face Death with Dignity: Hawkman. He tells Clark that he'll have no problem defeating Darkseid, apologizes that he won't be there to help him and cracks a joke about how he's the expert on dying, then closes his eyes and appears to go to sleep. Generally speaking, it's a pretty dignified way to go.
• Glass Cannon: Doctor Fate's a Reality Warper, but goes down in one hit. He does seem to be a bit of a Death Seeker, though.
• The Gwen Stacy: Hawkgirl
• Happily Married: For all their issues, Carter and Shayera.
• Herald: Doctor Fate could be seen as this with the quote:

"And when you show yourself to the world... it will be a different age than ours, Clark. A Silver Age of heroism... that will start when they look up into the sky at you with hope for tomorrow. You will help everyone to embrace it."

• Heroic Sacrifice: Doctor Fate sacrifices his own life to restore Martian Manhunter's powers.

• Killed Off for Real: Star-Spangled Kid, Sandman, Doctor Fate, Hawkman.
• Little Miss Badass: Stargirl

  • Given how Kent Nelson's life turned out... I say God help you even if you ARE its personal choice!
• Order Reborn

• Reality Warper: Doctor Fate's powers.

• Happily Married
• Heroes Want Redheads
• Innocent Fanservice Girl: Changes clothes in front of Lois without even stopping to think about it.

• Satellite Character: Her role in the plot revolves around being A.C./Orin/Aquaman's wife.
• Smug Super: Mocked Lois for not having powers, and said she couldn't understand what Arthur, Oliver and Clark saw in her. Mera gets over herself when Lois helps them defeat Slade.
• Strange Girl: Not that A.C. seems to mind.

Booster Gold (Eric Marstolf)

A description of the character goes here.

• Blond Guys Are Evil: Or at least assholes.
• Celebrity Is Overrated: He gets to discover this over the course of his episode.
• Freudian Excuse: His ridiculous personality and Jerk Ass tendencies stem from his desire to re-claim the fame he had before he started throwing matches.
• Goggles Do Nothing
• Jerkass: Hugely so.
• Jerk Jock: He was a professional athlete before he became a "hero".
• Large Ham
• Mission Control: His AI, Skeets.

• Power Armor: His suit, which enables Flight and discharges Hard Light energy beams.
• Small Name, Big Ego: He thinks he can replace Superman. Wow...
• Smug Super
• Throwing the Fight: Booster deliberately lost matches for the money. In doing so, he also lost his sports career and all of his fans.

Jaime Reyes / Blue Beetle (Jaren Brandt Bartlett)

A description of the character goes here.

• Hollywood Nerd
• Ordinary High School Student
