The main character of the show, we all know his [[Backstory]] -- he was rocketed to Earth as a baby from the planet Krypton just before it was destroyed in an [[Earthshattering Kaboom]] and found by Jonathan and Martha Kent after his spaceship crash-landed in Smallville during a meteor shower that devastated much of the town.

* [[Mr. Fanservice]]

* [[Farm Boy]]

* [[Friend to All Children]]: Clark gets along better with children than he does with his peers. He's very understanding of them and becomes a bit of a big brother to some. The kids he's helped include but not limited to: Ryan James, a meteor infected telepath who was the first person to learn his secret, [[The Flash|Bart Allen]], a speedster delinquent and founding member of Smallville's Justice League, Evan Gallegher a rapidly aging boy who saw Clark as a father figure, Maddie Van Horn a glass manipulator who opened up to Clark after years of silence and trauma and [[Superboy|Conner Kent]], the half kryptonian half human clone of Clark Kent and Lex Luthor. This also extended to Alexander, a child persona of Lex's innocence who Clark had tried to save. [[Berserk Button|Whoa to anyone stupid enough to hurt kids in front of Clark. ]]

* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: He also extends his friendship to animals. Especially his pet dog Shelby. Even after rejecting his human side he takes the time to feed his dog.

* [[Hell-Bent for Leather]]: As [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Kal]].

** In Season 10, he dons {{spoiler|a red leather jacket, complete with a stylized House of El symbol on the front}}.

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Given the sheer number of female villains, he'd be an idiot not to.

Clark's adoptive human father. In Season 5, he ran for the Kansas State Senate and won... only to die of a heart attack a short while later {{spoiler|following a confrontation with Lionel Luthor (and as a consequence of Clark altering history to save Lana, who had been killed in a car accident)}}. {{spoiler|He returns in Season 10 to give Clark some guidance, and shows up yet again in the [[Grand Finale]] to give Clark his [[Superman]] costume}}.

* [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]]: He invokes this on Clark, even though he has come close to breaking that trope, on a few occasions. Most notable being when he {{Spoiler|fought Lionel Luthor over Clark's secret. While he didn't kill him, the stress of it caused his own heart attack.}} It comes in handy later on when Clark realizes Jonathan's Ghost in "Oracle" was none other than {{spoiler| Braniac}}. Lionel himself pointed out, that the last thing Jonathan would want from Clark was to have him kill, even if it's his enemies.

 

[[File:Martha_Kent_4882.jpg|frame]]

Clark's adoptive human mother. In Season 5, Martha took over Jonathan's Senate seat after his death and [[Put on a Bus|moved to Washington, D.C. at the end of Season 6]]. Returns in Seasons 9 and 10.

Formerly {{spoiler|the Lex clone known alternately as Lx-15 and "Alexander"}}, he developed serious amnesia following his {{spoiler|failure to kill Clark and re-capture by Tess}}. This was accompanied by the manifestation of Kryptonian abilities; Tess eventually discovered that he contained {{spoiler|DNA from not only Lex, but Clark as well, and left him with Clark for training}}. After finding out that Clark and Tess were hiding {{spoiler|half of his heritage from him, Conner felt betrayed and went to Earth-2 Lionel. Lionel, of course, put a [[G-Rated Drug|Red Kryptonite]] ring on him, [[Not Himself|making him temporarily evil]]}}.

 

* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: {{spoiler|On Red K, the "Lex" side of his personality is very much dominant. He more or less reverts to being "Alexander"}}.
