13
14	A Metropolis crime boss and childhood friend of Lionel Luthor, Morgan Edge is an antagonist featured in the first half of Season 3, attempting to force Clark (whom he knows as "Kal") to honor a deal he made while [[NotHimself 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. Is revealed to have helped Lionel murder his parents when they were both young.
15	----
16	* AccidentalPublicConfession: Is taped confessing to the murder of Lionel's parents.
17	* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Series/Supergirl2015 Earth-Prime]].
18	* BigBadDuumvirate: Tries to form one with Lionel, but he's really out of his league.

21	* FourEyesZeroSoul: When played by Rutger Hauer.
22	* GreenRocks: Carries a string of meteor rock beads in case he runs into Clark.

33	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20201016_202306.jpg]]
34
35	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 [[KissOfDeath 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.
36	----
37	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: She wants Clark for more than just a mate, she genuinely wants his love. In the comics, Maxima only wants Superman for his genes to breed powerful warriors. Outside of a tie-in to ''ComicBook/Armageddon2001'', set in an alternate future where she undergoes LoveRedeems and becomes a SecondLove to Superman, she doesn't care for whether or not he loves her. His love and consent are just a convenience to her.
38	* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Maxima lacks her comic incarnation's {{Telekinesis}}, {{Teleportation}}, [[CharmPerson hypnosis]] and {{Flight}}. She can also inject hormones into a person through a kiss which can prove fatal from overstimulation, a power her comic counterpart does not posses. The only abilities she has in common with the comic version of Maxima are SuperStrength and SuperSpeed.
39	* AllAmazonsWantHercules: She got turned on when Clark slammed her through a brick wall and pinned her.
40	* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Series/Supergirl2015 Earth-Prime]].
41	* CombatSadomasochist: Implied
42	* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Averted. Her pheromones and callous attitude towards other people nicely cement that what she is doing is a bad thing.
43	* TheEmpath: She could sense Clark's loneliness and the feelings between Clark and Lois.
44	* EvilRedhead: More of an amoral redhead given she does genuinely feel bad when she thinks she's gotten Jimmy killed.
45	* HellBentForLeather: Initially
46	%%* KissingUnderTheInfluence
47	* KissOfDeath: This version of Maxima can inject potent hormones and adrenaline into a person through a kiss. While a Kryptonian like Clark can survive it, the kiss is fatal to humans if they are not treated immediately.
48	* LackOfEmpathy: Has no sympathy for the men who die after kissing her. Subverted, albeit at a really low level, with Jimmy.
49	* MsFanservice: She's downright beautiful and takes pride in that.
50	* MurderTheHypotenuse: Tries it on Lois.
51	%%* MySensorsIndicateYouWantToTapThat
52	* NighInvulnerability: Is unaffected by bullets and Clark ramming her through a brick wall.
53	* PetTheDog: She's genuinely saddened when she thinks she's gotten Jimmy killed since he was nice to her.
54	%%* StalkerWithACrush
55	* {{Stripperiffic}}: Nice bondage gear, Maxima.
56	* SuperSpeed: She runs faster than the human eye can see and could perceive Clark's movements.

75
76
77	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.
78
79	First appearing in Season 8, he murders most of the [=LuthorCorp=] Board of Directors, makes an attempt to kill Oliver Queen, and nearly brings down the ''Daily Planet'' with a gigantic kryptonite bomb. He returns in Season 9, once again attempting to get his revenge on Oliver, who had framed him for the murder of his boss, Lex Luthor. Captured and imprisoned at last, he is freed by Tess, who puts him to work repairing Metallo.
80	----
81	* ActuallyADoombot: Sends a robotic double of himself to Oliver's party in Season 9, so that he can plant a bomb and watch the chaos without actually having to be there in the flesh.
82	* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Series/Supergirl2015 Earth-Prime]] and another on an [[Characters/ArrowverseOtherEarths unnamed Earth]] as himself, with both versions having a son who went on to also use the identity of Toyman. Also for some reason the [[Characters/ArrowverseMystics Earth-Prime]] version of Henry VIII looks just like him.
83	* BerserkButton: Being treated as though he were childish, or otherwise not being taken seriously. Oliver causes him to snap just by calling him a clown. Interestingly, it makes him less dangerous, not more so, as he stops using his head and just attacks you.
84	* BewareTheSillyOnes: Who'd a thunk the overweight guy delivering balloon-o-grams could be dangerous?
85	* BunnyEarsLawyer: Schott is a little eccentric, to say the least. But whether you're hiring him as a technician or a MadBomber, you're probably getting your money's worth.
86	* TheDragon: To Lex in "Requiem".
87	* DragonInChief: In much the same way Brainiac was to Zod. Lex crippled and on a respirator can't do much without Schott to carry out his plans for him.
88	* EvilGenius: And not just in the scientific department. Schott's got a real talent for disguising himself, getting into places he shouldn't be, and then talking his way out again.
89	%%* FatBastard
90	%%* FatSlob
91	%%* FourEyesZeroSoul
92	* FramingTheGuiltyParty: Oliver frames Winslow for Lex's murder, the one crime in "Requiem" that he ''isn't'' responsible for. It results in a police manhunt and forces Schott underground, in a way that the other cirmes he was thought to be guilty of never would have.
93	* GreenRocks: Uses them to fuel his bombs in "Requiem".
94	* HappyFunBall: Between bombs that resemble dolls, Newton's Cradles, and {{Cymbal Banging Monkey}}s, gas-filled Mylar balloons, and a wide variety of other {{Lethal Joke Weapon}}s, he definitely counts.
95	* LethalJokeCharacter: Holy crow, yes!
96	* MadArtist: Sees his toys and his weapons as works of art.
97	* MadBomber: Schott really, really likes his explosives.
98	* MadScientist: An expert weapons designer and technician, with a fondness for placing explosives in his toys. All he needs to add is MadDoctor and he's got the whole "mad" foursome.
99	%%* MessyHair
100	* MyLittlePanzer: Fired by Oliver after he started weaponising toys.
101	* NonActionGuy: Schott's a schemer, not a fighter, and proves it any time that things get physical.
102	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: By the time his two episodes are over, Schott has become the posterboy for this trope, having damn near killed Clark and Oliver both, despite his silly gimmick.
103	%%* PsychopathicManchild
104	* {{Revenge}}: Wants it on Oliver for firing him.
105	* TalkativeLoon: He doesn't really shut up. Ever.
106	* WickedToymaker: He speaks to Luthor through a camera and microphone concealed in a wooden doll's head, and uses toys such as an exploding Newton's cradle, knockout gas-filled Mylar balloons, and an explosive cymbal-clanging monkey.
107	* WoundedGazelleGambit: Uses it on a nurse in order to convince her to unhandcuff him. "I was just trying to deliver a baloon-o-gram."
108	* YouLookFamiliar: Chris Gauthier played a tech in Season 3 before becoming known for this role.

112	!Bruno "Ugly" Mannheim
113	-> '''Played By:''' Creator/DominicZamprogna
114
115	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bruno_mannheim_smallville_001.jpg]]
116
117	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".
118	----
119	* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Comic book Bruno is a disfigured psycho with a burned face and a penchant for [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalism]]. This version has only a tiny scar on his face and is played by Dominic Zamprogna. Still a [[AxCrazy psycho]], though.
120	* AxCrazy: Bruno is visibly twitching in every one of his appearances.
121	* CardCarryingVillain: Approaches it. Bruno has no desire to go straight.
122	* DragonAscendant: Murders his boss and takes over the Ace of Clubs and the counterfeiting operation.
123	* EvilIsPetty: Despite his status as a member of the Metropolis mob, Bruno isn't above committing street level crime.
124	* FromNobodyToNightmare: Implied by Lois' comments in "Beacon" where he's at the top of a list of suspects in the attempted shooting of Senator Martha Kent, not something that you would expect a petty criminal to be involved in. Makes sense in an even more horrifying context when one remembers that this was the same season where Darkseid was preparing an invasion of Earth, and that Mannheim has traditionally been one of Darkseid's mooks on Earth, thus implying that his rise to prominence in the criminal underworld may have been aided by an alliance with Apokolips, as previously seen in ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries''.
125	* HairTriggerTemper: Crossing Bruno is a good way to get yourself killed.
126	* HellBentForLeather --> ManOfWealthAndTaste: Between appearances.
127	* IronicNickname: Bruno's far from ugly. Of course, it could always be a reference to his [[AxeCrazy personality]].
128	* ItsPersonal: With Lois/Stiletto.
129	* KlingonPromotion: Murders his boss to gain control of their operation.
130	* MinorInjuryOverreaction: His vendetta against Lois stems from a tiny scar she left on his face.
131	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Brutally beats Jimmy and later a Green K-weakened Clark.
132	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Normally, you wouldn't wonder this about a VillainOfTheWeek, but in "Beacon", Lois mentions him as a possible suspect when someone (we're looking at you, [[TeensAreMonsters Alexander]]) takes a shot at Mrs. Kent. It does leave one wondering just what Bruno's been up to these past two years.
133	* WhiteGangBangers: 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.

142
143	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 capturing a Red K-infected Clark and returning him to normal. He leaves at the end of the episode and disappears until he returned as a member of Toyman's LegionOfDoom group.

188	----
189	* AlternateSelf: Has one on [[Characters/ArrowverseOtherEntities Earth-Prime]].
190	* AmbiguousSituation: As the Speed Force is part of the entire multiverse and therefore every speedster gains power from it, it is unclear how the ''Smallville'' version of Black Flash fits with that portrayal of the Speed Force from ''Series/TheFlash2014''. The ''Arrowverse'' even had it's own version of Black Flash which further complicates matters.

312	* BrokenAce: He was a good-looking football coach and successful athlete, dated the girl most people seemed to consider the prettiest one in the school and, to top it off, he was from a rich, successful family. He was also the product of an abusive relationship with his EvilMatriarch mother, and had no self-esteem or ability to control himself without her help.
313	* DeathFromAbove: A meteor hit him.
314	* TheDragon: His mother's.
315	* EvilAllAlong: He was with his mother all along as a pawn to get revenge on Lana.

317	* HotForStudent: With Lana. She was a student, he was a football coach at her school.
318	* JerkJock: Double subverted. Clark suspects him of being bad, he turns out to be a very pleasant guy and then it's revealed he was working for his [[BigBad mother]] the entire time.
319	* KilledOffForReal: He winds up killed when a meteor crashes into where he was standing.

322	* MotiveDecay: At some point between episodes his character suddenly shifted from suspecting his mother of being up to no good and wanting nothing to do with it, to being her willing [[TheDragon Dragon]] with an Oedipus Complex and acting as if this had always been the case.

361	Jason's mother, Genevieve is descended from the aristocracy and isn't afraid to let you know it. She bails Lionel out of jail partway through Season 4 in an attempt at enlisting him in her crusade to find the Stones of Power. When Lionel turns on her, she uses her son Jason, as a pawn in her scheme to destroy Lionel, Lex, and the Countess Isobel Thoreaux. TheManBehindTheMan to most of the fourth season, she never meets Clark and is killed in the finale by Isobel.

363	* AbusiveMom: She's pretty much destroyed her son's self-esteem, turning him into little more than a puppet.
364	* AncientConspiracy: Her ancestors have been guarding the secrets of the [[MacGuffin Stones of Power]] and the Traveler for centuries. The whole Veritas mess was actually started by her family.
365	* AristocratsAreEvil: Descended from Duchess Gertrude of France, who had Isobel burned at the stake so she could find the Stones of Power for herself. Genevieve isn't much better.
366	* AssholeVictim: Isobel possessing Lana kills her. Her unrepentant evilness makes such moment unsympathetic.

370	* EvilCounterpart: To Lionel in Season 4. They're both AbusiveParents, with a lot of money and an obsession with alien life and the Stones of Power. Where they're different is in the why--Lionel abused Lex to try and make him stronger; Genevieve abused Jason in an attempt to control him and hurt his father. Additionally, Lionel turns around and tries to connect to Lex, whereas Genevieve never does and uses her son until the end. And when it comes to the Stones of Power, Lionel is driven by curiosity and the desire for power, Genevieve by paranoia and the need to defeat Isobel.

376	* MyBelovedSmother: A dark version who tries to control every aspect of Jason's life.
377	* NonActionBigBad: The only time she tries to get physical, it doesn't end well for her.
378	* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Creator/MargotKidder's Dr. Bridgette Crosby was supposed to be Season 4's BigBad, but left the show following Creator/ChristopherReeve's death. Genevieve was created to fill the gap.

382	* SmugSnake: Competent, but she lacks Lionel's [[MagnificentBastard magnificence]], Lex's {{Woobie}} status and Zod's [[LargeHam flair]], putting her firmly in this category.

392	* {{Expy}}: In theory he is one of ComicBook/VandalSavage. In the script he originally was Vandal Savage but the producers forbid the writers to use the name. In the show proper, it is implied he is Vandal Savage under an alias.

After travelling to Earth-167 he was defeated and imprisoned by his counterpart.
445	----
446	* AlternateSelf: Due to being both Batman and the Joker he has many throughout [[Characters/ArrowverseOtherEarths the multiverse]].

448	* EvilDoppelganger: To the Bruce Wayne of the main universe who is one of Earth's greatest heroes. Is also this to every other Batman in the multiverse, being the only version who was never a hero while the Earth-99 Bruce Wayne was at least a FallenHero.
449	* {{Expy}}: Is basically Owlman who also killed his parents in the comics.
450	* AmbiguousSituation: Given how Clark and Lois appeared in ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019'' and established that ''Smallville'' took place on Earth-167 in the ''Arrowverse'' multiverse, it is unclear how Bruce could come from Earth-13 which is described as being filled with magic and creatures from fantasy.

However it would explain why Clark was so calm at the idea of the multiverse being destroyed as he's already experienced such an event and possibly believed the ''Arrowverse'' heroes would stop it.
