Next up for the month is another love of Clark Kent’s.
Unlike the rest on the list, she didn’t originate in comics. It’s Chloe
Sullivan from the TV show, Smallville. Yes, she’s on the list since she was a
supporting character for Clark. Plus, she eventually made her way to the comics
for a bit, so take that, Internet Elite! I got all my bases checked!
Anyway, Chloe was pretty much a mainstay on the show. Other
than Clark, she stayed on that show for over nine seasons (she was a guest star
in season 10). She was the Lois Lane of that show before Lois showed up. She
was a reporter at Smallville High’s newspaper and eventually the Daily Planet.
She also filled other roles on the show too. She was Clark’s confidant, a
hacker, a healer (she had powers for a while), a vessel for Brainiac, a crush
for Clark Kent (and probably a better girlfriend than this show’s Lana), and an
Oracle homage. She pretty much did it all except for get Clark’s powers since
that would have been a little too far for the Chloe fans.
For today’s post, I’ll be looking at the Season 3 episode,
“Delete.” At this point, a lot of stuff has happened. Clark’s and Lana’s
relationship has gotten weird. Lex actually found out Clark’s secret, went
crazy, and then had his brain screwed with in a mental hospital so he can’t
remember it. Jonathan made a deal with the Old Testament God--- I mean, A.I.
Jor-El that actually doesn’t come into play here. Then, there’s Chloe who had
teamed up with Lionel Luthor to keep tabs on Clark earlier in the season. That
did stop after a while, but things have been weird between Clark and Chloe.
Lionel is also a bit of an ass, so Chloe’s not doing too well.
