A Metropolis crime boss and childhood friend of Lionel Luthor, Morgan Edge is the antagonist in the first half of Season 3, attempting to force Clark (whom he knows as "Kal") to honor a deal he made while [[Not Himself|under the influence of Red Kryptonite]]. He and Lionel later try to uncover Clark's secret; in the aftermath, Edge is killed when he drives his car into Clark's invulnerable body. {{spoiler|Is revealed to have helped Lionel murder his parents when they were both young.}}

----

* [[Villain Team-Up]]: With Lionel.

{{quote|''"I am the Brain InterActive Construct. No matter my form, my [[Super Intelligence|intellect]] remains formidable. Do not underestimate me."''}}

He is the main antagonist of Seasons 5 and 7, and is a recurring threat in Season 8, giving him the distinction of being the only non-regular to serve as the [[Big Bad]] for more than one season.

----

* [[All There in the Manual]]: His Season 7 incarnation's identity as Brainiac 2.0.

* [[Badass]]

{{quote|''"I was created by Kryptonians, but I'm a whole lot smarter."''}}

* [[Kill All Humans]]: Season 8.

* [[Lack of Empathy]]: Brainiac's hardwiring didn't include an empathy drive. It's one of the reasons why he manages to make [[It's All About Me|Lex]] look good in comparison.

* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: To [[President Evil]] Lex in the [[Bad Future]] of Season 7's "Apocalypse".

** [[Power Degeneration]]: In Season 7, following his near-destruction by Clark in the previous season. It takes a visible effort for him to shape-shift, and his body takes on the appearance of someone with a very serious illness.

** [[Power Source]]: Is shown re-charging himself at a power plant in Season 7. Coincidentally, an overload of electricity is every bit as bad for him as not getting enough.

* {{spoiler|[[Science Hero]]: Post-reprogramming. He's the AI behind the [[Legion of Super-Heroes|Legion]] flight rings and most of their other tech.}}

* [[Self-Made Orphan]]: In a way. He not only kills his designer Dax-Ur, but helped Zod wipe out Krypton, killing his builder, Jor-El, in the process.

* [[The Virus]]: Serves as one himself, with his ability to infect victims via nanomachine implant. He also uses computerized ones repeatedly as part of his plans, shutting down most of the planet on at least two separate occasions. During the Season 5 finale, he was also planning to unleash a real virus to wipe out Earth's human population.

An alien queen from Almerac who arrives on Earth in Season 8 looking for her Kryptonian soulmate. Unfortunately for anyone who ''isn't'' a Kryptonian, her [[Kiss of Death|kiss is fatal to humans]]. She kills several men, hospitalizes Jimmy and almost seduces Clark, before he breaks from her control and sends her home.

* [[Super Strength]]

 

 

* [[An Axe to Grind]]

* [[We Will Wear Armor in the Future]]: Has plate armor on his torso and an iron mask over his face.

A weapons engineer formerly employed by Queen Industries, Winslow was fired when he cracked under stress and began bringing toys to work... and filling them with explosives. Having reverted at least partially to childhood, Winslow remains a dangerous adversary due to his mechanical genius and disregard for human life. Smart, eccentric and, in a word, nuts.

* [[Talkative Loon]]: He doesn't really shut up. Ever.

A psychotic gangster who still indulges in the occasional petty robbery, Mannheim carries an intense grudge against Metropolis' vigilante community for making criminal life harder. Beaten by Lois during an attempted mugging, Bruno receives a dressing down from his boss Ron Milano, who has been hoping to go legit. Turning on Milano, Mannheim takes control of the operation as a means of facilitating his personal vendetta against the vigilantes, and Lois' alter ego, Stiletto, in particular. Imprisoned for his crimes, he has not yet reappeared, though he merited a mention in Season 10's "Beacon".

* [[White Gang-Bangers]]: Has the mentality of one. His boss wants to move up in the world and go legit. Bruno, on the other hand, enjoys being a criminal far too much.

A war correspondent assigned to Afghanistan, John Corben returns to Metropolis early in Season 9, where he is given a desk opposite Lois Lane, to whom he is attracted. Nearly killed in a car accident, Corben is re-built as a [[Cyborg]] by Major Zod and the Kandorians. Driven nearly mad by the resultant adrenaline rush, Corben attempts to hunt down and kill the Blur, only to be defeated. He is later re-built by Tess, with an assist from Winslow Schott (see above). Escaping her lab, Corben ultimately assists Chloe and Lois in {{spoiler|capturing a Red K-infected Clark and returning him to normal}}. He leaves at the end of the episode and has not been seen since... {{spoiler|until he returned as a member of Toyman's [[Legion of Doom]] group}}.
