History Characters / SmallvilleKryptonians

* HotScientist: She worked as Jor-El's assistant back on Krypton, and was quite attractive, to say the least.

A [[HumanAliens humanoid alien race]] native to the planet Krypton, Kryptonians were initially [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy a race of warriors]] before evolving into a [[ProudScholarRaceGuy peaceful people devoted to science]].

Jor-El's lab assistant, Raya helped construct the spaceship that Kal-El escaped Krypton in, and was later put into the PhantomZone so she could survive Krypton's destruction. Years later, she meets Clark after he's sent to the Phantom Zone by 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 [[NuclearNasty Baern]], one of the Phantom Zone escapees. She is killed by Baern in the Fortress of Solitude. Appears in "Zod" and "Fallout."

* BadassBookworm: He's a skinny guy masquerading as a Professor of World History. He's also a Kryptonian AI capable of fighting {{Superman}} to a draw.

* DealWithTheDevil: Made a deal with Comicbook/{{Darkseid}} to gain control over the Zone and Major Zod.

* EvilOverlord: Successfully conquers the {{Mordor}} that is the Phantom Zone and sets himself up as its tyrant, with a little help from Comicbook/{{Darkseid}} and Major Zod's body.

* CaptainErsatz: He's pretty much the Comicbook/IncredibleHulk with a dose of homicidal mania and the ability to control it by becoming a SerialKiller.

* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[{{Series/Supergirl2015}} Earth]]-[[Series/SupermanAndLois Prime]], one on [[{{Film/Superman}} Earth-96]], and one on an [[Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse unnumbered Earth]].

* AlternateSelf: Has four, two on [[Series/{{Supergirl2015}} Earth-Prime]] as herself and the adopted Earth mother of Kara Zor-El, two on [[Characters/SupermanFilmSeries Earth-96]] as Kara and herself, and one on [[Film/ManOfSteel an undesignated Earth]].

* RemakeCameo: Helen Slater originally played ''Film/{{Supergirl}}''.

!! Kara Kent/Kara Zor-El/Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}

* AlternateSelf: Has two, one on [[Series/{{Supergirl2015}} Earth-Prime]], and one on [[Film/{{Supergirl}} Earth-96]]. Also has one on Earth-Prime that is a Coluan.

* PrimaryColorChampion: Like her cousin Clark, she is often seen wearing the colours red and blue (sometimes with yellow) to give her the Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} look.

* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Series/{{Supergirl2015}} Earth-Prime]], one on [[Film/{{Supergirl}} Earth-96]], and one on [[Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse an unnumbered Earth]] that Superman [[DeadAlternateCounterpart was forced to kill]] via NeckSnap.

* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Series/{{Supergirl2015}} Earth-Prime]], a sociopathic bigot named Ben Lockwood. Also has one on an [[Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice unnamed Earth, as a mutated Zod]].
* AntiHero: He begins by murdering criminals in order to save others and suppress [[TheKillerInMe Doomsday]]. He later slides towards NominalHero, 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 dives off the deep end into villainy, cementing his role as Franchise/{{Superman}}'s enemy.

* KnifeNut: Carries two Kryptonite knives, one Green and the other Blue. This leads to a KnifeFight between him and Clark in the Season 9 finale.

* DarthVaderClone: A military figure, usually dressed all in black, driven to evil by the loss of his family, and the perceived betrayal by his best friend, whose downfall culminates in choking his pregnant spouse in a blind rage, resulting in her death, only to be consumed by horrible guilt forever, and seen as a monster by his former allies. Sound familiar?

* MsFanservice: She wears a [[BareYourMidriff midriff-baring top]] with [[WhoWearsShortShorts shorts]], had a scene in her underwear and participated in a BeautyContest.

* WhoWearsShortShorts: Blue ones.

* AdaptationalPeronalityChange: Still as twisted as her comic counterpart, but seems more like Zod, an evil soldier than a man-hating lunatic.

* YourCheatingHeart: Involved with both Tess and Faora, seemingly without the other's knowledge.

* FusionDance: "Dominion" is unclear as to whether the General or the Major is more in control. He has the latter's body, the former's coldness and sense of fashion, and seems to retain both of their memories.

%%* SanitySlippage

%%* TragicVillain

* HeelFaceTurn: It's due to being re-programmed though, so it doesn't gain him a lot of sympathy.

* BadassBeard: On his real body. He grows one after taking control of Major Zod.

* NotSoDifferent: Brainiac 5 invokes this with Clark in Season 10's "Homecoming". For a good cause, to boot.

* AlternateSelf: Has three, two on [[Series/{{Supergirl2015}} Earth-Prime]] as herself and the adopted Earth mother of Kara Zor-El, one on [[Film/{{Supergirl}} Earth-96]] as Kara herself, and one in the Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse.

* AdaptationalNameChange: In the comics Brainiac's name is Vril Dox while Brainiac 5 is name Querl Dox. Here his name really is Brainiac, being a shortened version of the Brain InterActive Construct.

In Season 7, Brainiac returned under his own control, albeit in a badly-battered condition. Manipulating Bizarro and Clark into helping him repair himself, Brainiac 2.0 subsequently trapped Kara in the Phantom Zone and revealed Clark's secret to Lex. Clark destroyed his body, but Brainiac returned once again in Season 8 by [[GrandTheftMe body-jacking Chloe]] and attempting to gain control of Doomsday. He was finally defeated with the aid of the Legion of Super-Heroes, and taken to the future for re-programming; he returns in Season 10 as Brainiac 5.

* ScienceHero: Post-reprogramming. He's the AI behind the [[ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}} Legion]] flight rings and most of their other tech.
