Lorna Kent is the wife of Bert Kent, and a member of the Kent family.[1]
Season Ten[]
She and Bert attended Clark and Lois' wedding. Like the others, they fled right before Darkseid (possessing Oliver Queen) attacked Clark Kent.[1]
Notes[]
- Lorna Kent's name appears on the guest list that Lois Lane holds up (which specifies her as the wife of Bert Kent). The character is not identified in the church. However, she is presumed to be one half of the couple seen sitting by the window on the second row on the groom's side. There is an elderly couple seated next to Martha Kent on the front row. However, the guest list states that Bert and Lorna will have two children with them to the wedding (being elderly, any children of the couple on the front row would likely be adult guests).[1] It is more likely that the elderly couple are Martha's parents.[2] Bert's (and, by extension, Lorna's) exact relation to Clark Kent is never specified.[1] It should be noted that the show never explored the Kent family tree (beyond Clark's adoption). The show's one dive into Martha's family establishes that Martha and Jonathan isolated themselves from family, in order to protect Clark's secret.[2] Jonathan is never specified as having been an only child. In Relic, Jessica Kent (wife of Clark's grandfather, Hiram Kent) is shown to be pregnant in 1961 (with the scene heavily implying that the unborn baby is Jonathan Kent).[3] However, Jonathan's grave in Homecoming lists his birth as "September 1, 1954",[4] which would have made Jonathan 7-years-old in 1961. If Bert is Jonathan's brother (which would make Lorna Clark's aunt-by-marriage), then the inconsistency could be explained away as it having been Bert that Jessica was expecting in 1961.
- Bert and Lorna Kent live in Smallville.[1]
- It is unknown if Lorna is the mother or aunt of Andrea Kent and/or Kelly Kent (apparent cousins of Clark Kent).[1]
- It is unknown if Lorna Kent was one of the people shown present at Jonathan Kent's funeral in the Season Five episode Reckoning.[5]
Appearances[]
In the Comics[]
The John Byrne reboot in 1986 had Jonathan Kent having one deceased brother named Harry Kent. Harry had a wife named Sarah "Sal" Kent, who first appeared in World of Smallville #1 (April, 1988). Prior to the reboot, the Silver Age/Bronze Age continuity depicted Jonathan as having a brother named Burt, who had a daughter with an unnamed wife.
During the Golden Age, Clark Kent had an aunt named Minerva Kent, who made her one and only appearance in Action Comics #160 (September, 1951). Though, Minerva was Jonathan Kent's sister, as opposed to sister-in-law.
