Megan Poss (character)

Sign in to edit

Megan Poss was a student at Smallville High School, and a classmate of Clark Kent. After high school, Megan seemingly went on to become a reporter for the Daily Planet.

Season Two[]

Megan sent an e-mail to classmate Lana Lang, asking Lana for help with her homework.[1]

Season Three[]

By the fall of 2003, Chloe Sullivan had added Megan's name to the digital Wall of Weird, as a suspected Meteor Freak. If Clark Kent had not stopped him, Van McNulty would have come after Megan and attempted to kill her for being meteor infected.[2]

Megan was among possible receivers of Molly Griggs' hypnotic e-mails, in her attempts to kill Chloe Sullivan.[3]

Season Four[]

Megan was among the guests at Cristina Verano's party, where Karen Gallagher got pregnant.[4]

Life after graduation[]

The details about Megan's life after high school are vague. She appears to have joined the Daily Planet as a reporter by 2007.[5][6]

Notes[]

  • The character is named after Smallville set designer Megan Poss. The show frequently used the name of crew members for background characters and characters who were only mentioned. As a result, variations on the name "Megan Poss" appears here and there over the course of the series. The two hotspots for the name are Smallville High (where the name appears on computer screens and in yearbooks, in reference to a student) and the Daily Planet, where a "Megan Poss" name plate can frequently be seen on a desk in the Daily Planet bullpen (sometimes, with a woman being seated behind the desk). The Smallville High student and the Daily Planet reporter are presumed to be the same Megan Poss.
  • In the episode Obsession, there is a photograph of Smallville High student Megan Poss, right next to Pete Ross.

  • Megan's powers were never established.
  • In the Season Nine episode Charade, a computer screen shows a Spark, Inc. employee named "Megan Poss". However, in the same episode Megan Poss' name plate can be seen on a desk in the Daily Planet bullpen, with a brunette woman behind the desk (in the context of the scene, likely Daily Planet employee Megan Poss),[7] meaning that the Spark, Inc. employee is a different Megan Poss.
  • The future of Megan Poss might have been hinted at by dialogue. In Absolute Justice, Part 2, Doctor Fate (who could see the future) informs Clark that him becoming Superman (and people looking up at him in the sky) will lead to everyone embracing a Silver Age of heroism.[8] In Continuity, Superman tells the world that the world's (benevolent) metahumans will always rise up to protect them.[9] It is possible that this (i.e. the people who becomes superheroes) includes Megan Poss.
  • Megan Poss does not appear in depictions of the years 2013, 2017 and 2018 (nor in the Season Eleven comic, set between 2011 and 2012). Nor does a "Megan Poss" name plate appear on any desk at the Daily Planet in those years.[10][11][12] Towards the end of the show, they seemingly began to phase out the Daily Planet employees (that were original to the show, which would include Megan Poss), for canonical supporting characters from the Superman comics.[13][14][15][16] Depictions of the future in Salvation, Homecoming and Finale, Part 2 have all the named Daily Planet employees be Ron Troupe, Perry White, and James Bartholomew "Jimmy" Olsen.[10][11][12] The one exception being Jeff Hage, who appears in the 2013 sequence in Salvation[10] and the 2017 sequence in Homecoming,[11] but is absent from the 2018 sequence in Finale, Part 2 (despite appearing in the 2011 part of Finale, Part 1).[17][12] Jeff himself vanishes after the Season Eleven story Haunted.[18] In the remaining Season Eleven stories, all the named Daily Planet employees are Perry White, Cat Grant, Franklin Stern, and Steve Lombard.[19][20][21][22]
