Kelly Kent is a member of the Kent family.[1]
Season Ten[]
Kelly attended Clark and Lois' wedding. Like the others, she fled right before Darkseid (possessing Oliver Queen) attacked Clark Kent.[1]
Notes[]
Kelly Kent?
- Kelly Kent's name appears on the guest list that Lois Lane holds up. The character is presumably present at the church, but no specific actress was onscreen identified as Kelly Kent. On the second row on the groom's side, there are two young women (relatives tend to be seated in the first few rows at weddings). It is unknown if one of them is Kelly Kent.
Kelly Kent?
- Kelly's last name, combined her being a guest of the groom (Clark Kent) at the wedding, indicates that she is a member of the Kent family. Kelly's exact relation to Clark Kent is never specified,[1] but it is possible that Kelly is either a first or second cousin via Jonathan Kent. It should be noted that the show did very little exploration of the Kent family tree (with all the focus usually being on Clark's adoption).[2][3] In Metallo, there is a mention of Clark having cousins through his adoptive parents.[4]
- It is unknown if Kelly is the daughter of Bert Kent and Lorna Kent, which would make her the sister of their two children.[1] It is also unknown if Andrea Kent is her sister or cousin.[1]
- Kelly is possibly the granddaughter of Hiram and Jessica Kent, or their great-niece (depending on who her parents are).[2]
- Most information on Kelly (on the wedding guest list) is not visible onscreen, leaving it unknown if she (like Andrea, Bert and Lorna) lives in Smallville.[1]
- It is unknown how close she is with Clark. According to the episode Redux, Martha and Jonathan isolated themselves from family to protect Clark's secret.[5]
- It is unknown if Kelly Kent was one of the people shown present at Jonathan Kent's funeral in the Season Five episode Reckoning.[6]
