History Characters / SmallvilleKryptonians

* DeusAngstMachina: Nothing good ever happens to Davis.

* CaptainErzatz: He's pretty much TheIncredibleHulk with a dose of [[spoiler:homicidal mania and the ability to control it by turning SerialKiller]].

* MetaCasting: Marc [=McClure=] played Jimmy Olsen in the [[Film/{{Superman}} ''Superman'']] films of the [[TheSeventies 1970s]] and [[TheEighties 80s]].

!!Jor-El (Terence Stamp, Julian Sands, Tom Welling)

* MinoredInAssKicking
* TheParalyzer

A Kryptonian general and war criminal, Zod's body was destroyed and his soul thrown into the PhantomZone following an attempted coup against the Kryptonian ruling council. Freed in the Season 5 finale by [[spoiler:Brainiac (who pulls a ThanatosGambit 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.

* AbusiveDad: To [[spoiler:Davis/Doomsday]]

* DemonicPossession: As Zod's physical body was destroyed, this is the best he can do. Unlike the other Zoners, he has to have his vessel specially prepared to boot.

* OmnicidalManiac: When he couldn't take over Krypton, he corrupted the Brain Inter Active Construct, and helped Zor-El blow up the planet.

* [[LukeIAmYourFather Luke I Am Your Mother]]: [[spoiler:Reveals to Davis that he is the son of General Zod and herself.]]

* UncannyValley: Nam-Ek is a huge, intimidating black man with green eyes. It's an odd look to say the least.

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 [[DrivenToSuicide 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 SerialKiller in both his identities; while this prevents Doomsday from hurting others, it causes Davis to become increasingly evil, transforming him into the season's BigBad. The two are separated by Black Kryptonite in the finale; in the aftermath, Doomsday is imprisoned underground, while the de-powered Davis {{FaceHeelTurn}}s, kills Henry James Olsen, and is in turn killed by Henry]].

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:Davis only meets Faora for a single episode, but in that time she lectures him on not having killed enough people, and then runs him through with a pole to activate his HealingFactor. She definitely counts, and given that it's General Zod's plan, he does as well]].
* AntiHero: He begins as a Type IV, murdering criminals in order to save others and [[spoiler:supress his internal SerialKiller, Doomsday]]. He later slides towards a Type V (though never quite reaching it), as his condition worsens and he struggles to keep people like Jimmy from uncovering his secret, losing some audience sympathy in the process. Finally he [[spoiler: dives off the deep end into villainy]] cementing his future role as {{Superman}}'s enemy.

* ReligiousBruiser: He keeps a cross and rosary beads hanging from the rearview mirror in his ambulance, and is seen attending confession.

* [[spoiler:SerialKiller: Doomsday is an indiscriminate murderer on a PersonOfMassDestruction style rampage. Davis eventually becomes one of the PayEvilUntoEvil {{Antihero}}ic bent.]]
* ShadowArchetype: To Clark. They're both [[spoiler:the sons of important Kryptonian leaders, have a connection to Chloe and, most importantly, a secret they are determined to keep. Clark became a hero; Davis let his obsession with secrecy drive him nuts.]]

* [[spoiler:UnstoppableRage: As Doomsday]]
