Lamar Johnson is a teen who was possessed by the Zoner Baern.
Season Six[]
Lamar possessed by Baern
Lamar and his friend Yance were playing basketball when the phantom Baern crashed several feet away from them. Baern killed Yance and possessed Lamar.
Six weeks later, Baern as Lamar searched for Kal-El in order to get his revenge on the House of El. He searched the Daily Planet archives and found an article about Clark Kent. Baern soon arrived in Smallville and attacked Clark and Raya.
Raya defeated Baern and he got away. Baern arrived at the Luthor Mansion and attacked Lana and Lex. He absorbed the Black Box. He later visited the Kent Farm and asked Martha Kent where Clark was when Clark and Raya activated the Fortress and called Baern with a Kryptonian beacon.
Baern rushed to the Fortress of Solitude where he confronted Clark and Raya. Baern killed Raya but was banished to Phantom Zone by Clark. Clark then rushed the now normal Lamar to Smallville Medical Center where he woke up with no memory of what he had been doing for the past six weeks.
Notes[]
- Lamar was possessed by Baern for six weeks. Other vessels for Phantom Wraiths were never possessed for over one day.[1][2][3] It is unknown if this, combined with Lamar's body absorbing massive amounts of radioactive energy during that period, affected his biology in any way. Dr. Donovan Jamison found alien elements present in the blood of Philipe Lamont (who was possessed by Bizarro) less than 24 hours after Philipe became possessed by the phantom.[2] Lex Luthor's body was shown to have some leftover ability to heal itself (enough to instantly heal a burn on the palm of his hand), after the phantom of General Zod was expelled from his body.[1]
