The Male Hostage is an employee working at a textile factory owned by Queen Industries.
Season Nine[]
Together with his co-workers, he was taken hostage by a mysterious man, who left the staff bound and gagged, while a bomb was ticking down. He and the others were rescued by the Blur, and taken to Metropolis General Hospital. When he was approached by Daily Planet reporters Lois Lane and Clark Kent, he gave them a false statement. Clark, then briefly possessing telepathy, read his mind and discovered that the man viewed this as the most exciting thing that had ever happened to him. Clark warned him about the consequences of lying in a criminal investigation, in an attempt to get attention, which caused the man to admit that he had not seen anything.
