Notes[]
- Clark Kent has saved Pete's life eight times.
- Lex Luthor has saved Pete's life at least three times.
- Pete has been tortured twice: the first time he was saved by Lex Luthor, and the second time he was tortured by Lex Luthor.
- In Season Two's Nocturne, Byron Moore threw Pete into a car and ran off. Clark took Pete to the hospital where he is diagnosed and treated for a broken arm. In this case, Clark probably didn't save his life, although his presence may have helped scare Byron off.
