▲[[File:smallvillejor-el_9176.jpg|frame|Jor-El in his pre-Fortress days.]]
Clark's Kryptonian biological father, Jor-El was a brilliant scientist who was regarded as one of Krypton's greatest heroes (next to [[Fallen Hero|Zod]]). When Krypton was about to [[Earthshattering Kaboom|go boom]], he copied his brain patterns into the spaceship that would carry his son to Earth.

=== Raya ([[Pascale Hutton]]) ===
Jor-El's lab assistant, Raya helped construct the spaceship that infant Kal-El escaped Krypton in, and was later put into the [[Phantom Zone]] so she could survive Krypton's destruction. Years later, she meets Clark after he's sent to the Phantom Zone by General Zod and helps him escape, but is believed to have been killed by two of Zod's henchmen. Later on, Raya shows up in Smallville, having been freed from the Phantom Zone herself along with some others, and helps Clark battle [[Nuclear Nasty|Baern]], one of the Phantom Zone escapees. She is killed by Baern in the Fortress of Solitude.

=== [[Supergirl|Kara Kent]] / Kara Zor-El ([[Laura Vandervoort]]) ===
▲[[File:supergirl_4231.jpg|frame]]
Clark's Kryptonian cousin, the daughter of Jor-El's brother Zor-El. Kara was sent to Earth by her father, ostensibly to find and look after her cousin Kal-El, only to be trapped in suspended animation shortly after her arrival. Eighteen years later (in Season 7), Kara is awakened following a battle between Clark and Bizarro.

Unlike Clark, she has access to the full range of Kryptonian powers, allowing her to [[Flight|fly]], [[Super Strength|lift cars]], [[Super Speed]] and [[Nigh Invulnerability|take bullets]] with the best of them, but she has almost no control over her lesser abilities. Clark can carve a pumpkin with his [[Eye Beams|heat vision]]; Kara tends to make them explode.

Clark's Kryptonian uncle, Jor-El's younger brother and Kara's father. A scientist like his brother, Zor-El and Jor-El [[Cain and Abel|did not get along very well]], probably since Zor-El was in love with Jor-El's wife Lara and [[Murder the Hypotenuse|tried to kill Jor-El so he could have Lara all to himself]]. He later became an ally to General Zod, but only so he could fulfill an ancient Kryptonian prophecy by destroying the planet.
Years later, Zor-El and Lara are resurrected by a [[Power Crystal]] he sent with Kara to Earth. He tries to take over Earth, only to be stopped when Clark destroys the crystal that brought him and Lara back to life.

== The House of Zod and associates ==
=== General Zod ([[Michael Rosenbaum]], {{spoiler|[[Callum Blue]]}}) ===
▲[[File:GeneralZodsmallville_7427.jpg|frame]]
A Kryptonian military general and war criminal, Zod's body was destroyed and his soul thrown into the [[Phantom Zone]] following an attempted coup against the Ruling Council. Freed in the Season 5 finale by {{spoiler|Brainiac (who pulls a [[Thanatos Gambit]] on Clark)}}, Zod body-jacks [[Lex Luthor]], using the billionaire's newly-gained superpowers in an attempt to bring the world to its knees. He is defeated by Clark in the Season 6 opening and imprisoned by the Crystal of El.
Line 173 ⟶ 163:
** [[Badass Beard]]: On his real body. He {{spoiler|grows one after taking control of Major Zod}}.

* [[Deal
* [[Demoted to Dragon]]: In "Dominion", he is reduced to {{spoiler|Darkseid's surrogate, ruling the Phantom Zone in the latter's absence}}.
* [[The Disembodied]]: To even greater extremes than normal for a Zoner. His body was not only destroyed, but his Phantom was altered so that it can only control a body that has been specially prepared. Brainiac has to mutate Lex to make him [[Grand Theft Me]]}}-able; after his defeat by Clark, the General is reduced to being a ghost again until {{spoiler|a deal with Darkseid lets him perform a [[Fusion Dance]] with Major Zod}}.
Line 195 ⟶ 185:
* [[Grand Theft Me]]: Of Lex, and eventually, his {{spoiler|own clone, Major Zod.}} With his original body destroyed, this is the best he can do.
* [[Happily Married]]: To Faora.
* [[I Control My Minions Through...]]: Fanatical Loyalty in the case of Faora and the Disciples of Zod, Fear in the case of {{spoiler|the Zoners in "Dominion".}}
* [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]]: Pulls this on [[Damsel in Distress|Lana]] in "Zod"; according to [[Word of God]], this is due to his being influenced by Lex's emotions and not any real interest on his part.
* [[Insane Admiral]]: Cold-blooded, ruthless and visibly off his rocker (although not nearly to the degree of Major Zod, who seems to ''live'' one step away from a [[Villainous Breakdown]]).
* [[In the Hood]]: Briefly during "Dominion".
* [[
* [[Kneel Before Zod]]: [[Trope Namer|Naturally.]]
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Mythology Gag]]: After he was taken out of Lex's body, he resembles the one from the Christopher Reeve movies. At the end of "Dominion", he and two henchmen, who may well be Non and Ursa, are sent spiraling off into space, much like in ''[[Superman (
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: When he couldn't take over Krypton, he corrupted the Brain InterActive Construct and helped Zor-El blow up the planet.
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: A variant. He has no problem with someone else beating the tar out of Clark, but only he is allowed to deliver the coup de grace.
* [[Out
* [[Revenge]]: Wants to payback on the House of El for his imprisonment. Later his feud with Clark becomes personal, following the latter's defeat of him, and his own subsequent [[Fusion Dance]] with {{spoiler|Major Zod}} who hates Clark more than anyone whose name isn't [[Arch Enemy|Lex]].
* [[Sealed Evil in

=== Faora ({{spoiler|[[Erica Durance]]}}, [[Sharon Taylor]]) ===
Zod's second wife, Faora escapes the Phantom Zone in Season 8, possesses {{spoiler|Lois Lane}} and goes hunting for her son Doomsday, whom she and Zod genetically engineered due to her own inability to bear children. Finding him in his human form as {{spoiler|Davis Bloome}}, Faora murders him in order to kick-start his mutant genetics and transform him into the killing machine she and Zod intended him to be. She is sent to the Phantom Zone once again by Kara, through the use of the Martian Manhunter's crystal.

* [[Evil Makeover]]: Gives a subtle one to {{spoiler|Lois}}.
* [[Flying Brick]]: While in the real world.
* [[Good
* [[Grand Theft Me]]: {{spoiler|Of Lois.}}
* [[I Owe You My Life]]: Zod saved her when she was a cadet, carrying her several miles on his back after she was injured. She's been obsessively loyal ever since.
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father|Luke I Am Your Mother]]: {{spoiler|Reveals to Davis that he is the son of Zod and herself.}}
* [[Sealed Evil in
* [[Second Love]]: To Zod, following {{spoiler|the deaths of his wife and son}}.
* [[Sociopathic Soldier]]: She got her start as a member of Zod's Kandorian army.
Line 235 ⟶ 224:
* [[Unholy Matrimony]]: Played straight with her and Zod. To hear her tell it, they're quite [[Happily Married]].
=== Nam-Ek and Aethyr ([[Leonard Roberts]] and [[Alana de la Garza]]) ===
Two of Zod's henchmen (or "disciples"), Nam-Ek and Aethyr come to Earth during the second meteor shower that strikes Smallville at the end of Season 4, having escaped Krypton before its destruction inside of a black spaceship (which also contained Brainiac). After they raise some hell in Smallville searching for Clark, Clark finds them and manages to send them to the Phantom Zone. They return in the Season 6 premiere. Nam-Ek is killed by Raya; Aethyr's fate remains unknown.

A paramedic who befriends Chloe in Season 8, Davis suffers from constant blackouts and memory lapses, and has his own connections to Krypton and Zod. {{spoiler|Faora eventually reveals that he is Doomsday, the genetically-engineered son of herself and Zod}}
▲[[File:davisbloome_1227.jpg|frame]]
▲A paramedic who befriends Chloe in Season 8, Davis suffers from constant blackouts and memory lapses, and has his own connections to Krypton and Zod. {{spoiler|Faora eventually reveals that he is Doomsday, the genetically-engineered son of herself and Zod}}--news Davis does not take well.
At first [[Driven to Suicide|determined to end his own life]], the knowledge that this is more or less impossible, combined with his growing crush on Chloe and his obsession with protecting his secrets, slowly drive Davis mad, turning him into a dark mirror of Clark Kent. {{spoiler|Discovering that he can keep Doomsday under control by committing murders as Davis, the paramedic becomes a [[Serial Killer]] in both his identities; while this prevents Doomsday from hurting others, it causes Davis to become increasingly evil, transforming him into the season's [[Big Bad]]. The two are separated by Black Kryptonite in the finale; in the aftermath, Doomsday is imprisoned underground, while the de-powered Davis [[Face Heel Turn|FaceHeelTurns]], kills Henry James Olsen, and is in turn killed by Henry}}.
----
* [[Abusive Parents]]: {{spoiler|Davis only meets Faora for a single episode, but in that time, she lectures him on not having killed enough people before running him through with a pole to activate his [[Healing Factor]]. She definitely counts, and given that it's Zod's plan, he does as well}}.

▲A clone of the original Zod from his time as a Major, he and his cloned Kandorian army arrive in Season 9, following Clark's defeat of Doomsday and Tess' activation of the Orb in the Season 8 finale. Determined to gain Kryptonian powers for his initially [[De Power|depowered]] army, Zod is nevertheless horrified by the knowledge that his own future self destroyed Krypton. Clark attempts to use this knowledge to save the Major from himself, but to little avail; Zod slides further into villainy even as people within his own army begin to question his leadership. Following the collapse of his alliance with Tess and his own murder of {{spoiler|Faora}} whom he regards as a traitor, Zod declares war on the entire world. Clark is able to reveal the full extent of his crimes to the Kandorians, however, and the entire army is ultimately sent away from Earth by the Book of Rao, though not before Zod and Clark engage in an epic [[Knife Fight]] to see who will truly control Earth's future.
In the [[Bad Future]] of "Pandora", Zod and the Kandorians have conquered the world. In the main timeline, Zod stays one step ahead of Clark by posing as the Blur and convincing Lois to give him information.
Line 318 ⟶ 304:
{{spoiler|He returns in the Season 10 episode "Dominion," where it's revealed not only that he's conquered the Phantom Zone in [[Big Bad|Darkseid]]'s name, but he's been possessed by the Phantom of the original Zod. See ''General Zod'', above, for more on that.}}

Line 361 ⟶ 347:

A clone of Faora ([[Captain Obvious|duh]]) from before she and Zod were in a serious relationship. At first loyal to Zod, Faora eventually begins to gravitate towards Kal-El (Clark) as she attempts to create a new life for herself on Earth. {{spoiler|She is slain by the Major in cold-blood when he discovers she no longer wants a part in his [[World Domination]] scheme; he then discovers she is carrying his child after the one night they spent together}}.
