Holly Gehrig was a contestant in the Miss Smallville pageant.
Beauty[]
Holly entered the Miss Smallville beauty pageant. Her mother and grandmother had both competed and won the contest at different times. Holly attempted to use her acid touch to get another contestant, Rachel, thrown out of the contest, by pretending to be receiving threats by someone who burned her dress. However, Lana Lang did not believe that it could be Rachel. Lana later found Holly in Rachel's dressing room, where Holly was putting her hand through a mirror with her acid touch. Holly attempted to attack Lana, intending to "rearrange Lana's face", but was forced to flee when Clark Kent and Chloe Sullivan showed up. Clark followed Holly through some tunnels beneath the stage, saving Pete Ross and Rachel's mother (whom Holly had taken prisoner, to pressure Rachel to leave the contest), while the stage collapsed. Clark and Holly then faced off behind the stage. Holly burned Clark's shoulder, and Clark threw her to the ground. The rest of the stage collapsed. Clark attempted to shield Holly, but he was the only one that rised from the rubble. It is unknown if Holly was killed.
Notes[]
- Pete Ross was gaga for Holly.[1]
- It is never established how Holly acquired her acid touch. According to Clark Kent, Chloe assumes that it was meteor rocks, but that the how, why and when Holly was exposed was still a mystery.[1] It should be noted that Chloe tended to assume that everyone with powers, got them from meteor infection.[2][3][4]
