  • It is possible that many, if not all, of the people that Clark put away between 2001 and 2010, were released from either prison or Belle Reve by Checkmate (before the agency's destruction). In the episode Absolute Justice, Part 2, a conversation between Lois Lane and Clark establishes that Checkmate has been secretly releasing all the bad guys (that fought the members of the Justice Society of America), and collecting them, by 2010.[103] In Charade, Checkmate is shown to have arranged for the life sentence of Ray Sacks (who had been put away by Clark and the Wonder Twins) to be overturned. One scene has Chloe Sullivan show Clark a list of other people, whose release has been arranged by Checkmate. Clark identifies the people on the list (which is not shown to the viewers) as violent offenders that he put away.[104] In Shield, Bette Sans Souci (who had been put away in 2009 by Clark Kent and Green Arrow) is shown to have been released from her incarceration, and joined the Suicide Squad.[105] In the episode Homecoming, Clark spots Greg Arkin (one of Clark's earliest foes) at their high school reunion, and identifies Greg as one of the people that he put away in high school (with Clark's panic at the sight of him indicating that Greg would have been unlikely to simply been released, having served whatever sentence he was given).[16] In Prophecy, Vordigan (who had been put in prison, through the combined effort of Clark and Green Arrow)[106] is shown to be out of prison.[5] In theory, all the bad guys released and collected by Checkmate would have been left to roam free, after the destruction of the agency.
  • Seasons One-Ten featured a number of canonical Superman villians: Lex Luthor, Bizarro, Brainiac, Doomsday, Metallo, Darkseid, Morgan Edge, Parasite, Ultraman, Silver Banshee, Bruno Mannheim, Mikhail Mxyzptlk, Snake, The Chameleon, Toyman, General Zod, Livewire, and Neutron. Livewire and Neutron seemingly die before they become members of Clark's rogues gallery.[60] The exact number of canonical Superman villains to appear on the show is unclear, for a multitude of reasons:
    • Ian Randall's ability to split himself into two is similar to that of canonical Superman villain Duplicate Man (real name unknown), who appeared in World's Finest #106 (December, 1959). With nothing of Ian Randall's life after 2004 being known, it is unknown if he is the man who becomes "Duplicate Man". If Ian Randall is indeed Duplicate Man, it raises the question if any of the show's other characters ends up as one of Superman's canonical villains from the comics?
    • The Season Four episode Jinx, featured a Mikhail Mxyzptlk, seemingly the Smallville version of canonical Superman villian Mister Mxyzptlk. However, Mikhail's origin, power-set, and weaknesses are completely different from the canonical character's.[80][107] The one connective tissue is the name "Mxyzptlk". However, in the comics, "Mxyzptlk" is not the real name of the imp from the Fifth Dimension. His true name is unpronounceable, so he picks "Mxyzptlk" as his name.[107] Given that "Mxyzptlk" is an assumed name in the comics, it is possible, in theory, that Mikhail was just a generic metahuman, whose family name will one day be appropriated by a being from the 5th Dimension. Mikhail appeared on the show not long after Lindsay Harrison, a character who referenced the canonical Kara Zor-El/Supergirl, with the real one being introduced several seasons later.[108][109]
    • The Season Seven episode Fierce, featured the Weather Girls, an all-female trio of villains. One member of the trio was Tyler Crenshaw, a cryokinetic black woman.[110] Tyler carries similarities with a canonical villain of both Superman and Batman, who first appeared in World's Finest #295 (September, 1983). The villain in question is called "New Moon" (real name unknown), a cryokinetic black woman, who is a member of the Moon Dancers (an all-female trio of villains). With nothing of Tyler Crenshaw's life after 2007 being known, it is unknown if she is the woman who becomes "New Moon".
    • In the Season Eight episode Legion, Imra Ardeen announces that the Legion will re-program Brainiac into Brainiac 5. This marked the first time that Brainiac was identified onscreen with a numeral designation (before that, he was simply "Brainiac"), with Imra (a woman from the 31st Century, thus everything in Clark's future would be things that she read about in history books growing up) offering no explaination for the numbering (nor when Brainiac, supposedly, went from "Brainiac 1" to "Brainiac 4"). In the same episode, Brainiac says: "I'm a Brain InterActive Construct".[25] In previous episodes, he would say "I am the Brain InterActive Construct".[20] A notable development for Brainiac in Legion, is that he has gained access to the Fortress of Solitude (a repository for all the knowledge of the universe collected by Kryptonians).[25] There is also an inconsistency in the series over who created Brainiac. In the Season Seven episode Persona, Dax-Ur is identified as the creator of Brainiac.[20] However, in earlier, and later, episodes, Jor-El is identified as Brainiac's creator.[111][16] In Lara, Lara-El says "Jor-El's Brainiac".[111] Was she merely identifying Jor-El as Brainiac's creator, or attempting to distinguish it from one created by someone else? Counting a deleting scene in Vessel, two pieces of technology are called "Brainiac" in that episode. The first is the Kryptonian A.I. (whom Jor-El calls the "Brain InterActive Construct"), the second is Lois Lane's computer. Which she calls "Brainiac" in one of the episode's deleted scenes,[112] making the term not unique to James Marsters' character. In Abyss, Chloe Sullivan mentions that kids at school used to call her "Brainiac",[113] linking the term/name to three separate entites (even if Chloe became possessed by the Kryptonian A.I. in Season Eight, making the two briefly one): James Marsters' character, Lois Lane's Season Five computer, and Chloe Sullivan (with the middle example having the term be applied to a generic computer).
  • In the Season Six episode Combat, a conversation between Clark and Martha reveals that Clark has (since Lex and Lana's wedding in Promise) fought several meteor infected career criminals, and delivered them to the Metropolis Police Department. However, the names and/or monikers of those meteor infected career criminals were never established,[97] preventing their inclusion in the above list.
  • Seasons One-Ten (or even Season Eleven) did not introduce the vast majority of Superman's canonical rogues gallery (who, in theory, could be in Clark's future). This includes (but is not limited to): Ultra-Humanite, Jax-Ur (not to be confused with Dax-Ur), Mongul, Terra-Man, Blackrock (all versions), Atomic Skull (both Albert Michaels and Joseph Martin), Kryptonite Man (all versions), Amalak, SKULL (criminal organization), Atom-Master, Atoman, Baron Sunday, Bloodsport (all versions), Doctor Chaos, Car-Vex, Master Jailer, Dabney Donovan, Obsession, Galactic Golem, Metalo (George Grant), Grax, J. Wilbur Wolfingham, Dyna-Mind, Composite Superman, Conduit, Kryptonoid, Lightning Master, Marauder, MAZE (criminal organization), Nuclear Man, Persuader (not to be confused with the Legion villain), Quex-Ul, Sand Superman, Yellow Peri, Skyhook, The Thing.
    • Season Eleven featured Hank Henshaw as a character. However, as of his most recent appearance in Chaos, he has not yet become Cyborg-Superman. Henshaw was last seen going off into space, in robotic form. [54] In the comics/source material, that is what leads to him becoming Cyborg-Superman.[114]
    • The Season Eight episode Injustice featured Parasite (Rudy Jones). However, in the comics, there have been several more to carry that moniker: Raymond Maxwell Jensen (the original Parasite), Alexander Allston, and Alexandra Allston.
    • Seasons Six and Seven featured Bizarro, who is killed in the episode Persona. Though, outside of a throwaway line from Chloe Sullivan (calling him "Bizarro Clark"), the character is never called or goes by that moniker. To everyone, he is "The Phantom"[9][115][20] It should be noted that Bizarro has never been a singular entity in the comics. Superboy #68 (October, 1958), set during Clark Kent's teenage years, saw the creation of the original Bizarro, who was destroyed in the same issue. Action Comics #254 (July, 1959), set years later (when Clark Kent is an adult and has become Superman), saw the creation of the second Bizarro (the more familiar version). In fact, the same issue featured the creation of a third Bizarro (who was killed not long after). Furthermore, Action Comics #263 (April, 1960) introduced Htrae ("Earth" spelled backwards), also called "Bizarro world", an entire planet of Bizarros (some duplicates of Superman, some duplicates of other people like Lois Lane).
    • In the comic book story Sojourn, Intergang member Mick is shown speaking to Intergang boss Moxie on the phone,[116] establishing the existence of Moxie Mannheim (the father of Bruno Mannheim in the comics, and the founder of Intergang) in the universe of Smallville. However, Moxie never encounters Clark or serves as an antagonist to him on the show or the Season Eleven comic book.
    • Ross Webster (the main antagonist from the film Superman III, 1983) is established to exist within the universe of Smallville in a Smallville Torch tie-in article. The article establishes him as being an older boy at Smallville High School,[117] but Ross was never depicted in anything as an antagonist of Clark's. It is unknown if Ross Webster (class of 2004[117]) and Clark Kent (class of 2005[118]) even knew of each other at Smallville High. Clark did not know everyone at the school.[119]
    • In Argo, Booster Gold and Blue Beetle encounter an unnamed Yeti-like creature in Antarctica.[120] In the comics, Superman's rogues gallery includes a Yeti known by the alias Doctor Phoenix. It is unknown if the Yeti-like creature in Argo is Doctor Phoenix.

Kara Kent / Maiden of Might / Supergirl[]

Notes[]

Dinah Lance / Black Canary[]

Notes[]

  • There is a canonical rogues gallery for Dinah Lance/Black Canary. In theory, this rogues gallery could be in Dinah's future (alt. have developed offscreen, in her own adventures, or have fought her mother). This rogues gallery includes Bonfire, Swami, Cheshire, Prime Number, Pyra-Maniac, White Canary (not to be confused with Sara Lance, an Arrowverse original character), and the Order of the Crimson Crystal. Due to Black Canary's close association with Green Arrow in the comics, a number of his rogues are also enemies of Black Canary.

Lana Lang / Angel of the Plateau[]

Notes[]

  • For the sake of simplicity, this list only includes enemies that Lana dealt with after acquiring the Prometheus skin. Prior to that, her main interactions with the shows villains tended to be as a damsel in distress, rather than as a proactive character/hero attempting to stop them.

Tess Mercer / Watchtower II / Red Tornado II[]

Notes[]

Diana Prince / Wonder Woman[]

Notes[]

Oliver Queen / Green Arrow[]

Notes[]

Andrea Rojas / Angel of Vengeance[]

Victor Stone / Cyborg[]

Notes[]

Bruce Wayne / Batman[]

Notes[]

  • There is a canonical and well-known rogues gallery for Bruce Wayne/Batman. Season Eleven depicts much of this rogues gallery as either being in place, or in the process of developing.[57][8][139][134] In Detective, Barbara Gordon references "alligator men" (indicating the existence of Killer Croc) and "Penguins trained to kill" (indicating the existence of The Penguin).[57] It is unknown if The Joker, Batman's greatest enemy, has entered Batman's life by Season Eleven. In Detective, Barbara Gordon mentions "Clowns".[57] However, neither Barbara or Bruce has any reaction when they encounter Bruce Wayne (Earth-13) (a mix of Bruce Wayne/Batman and the Joker), where they remark on a similarity between this Bruce and an existing enemy of Batman.[139] It is unknown if the Earth-13 Bruce Wayne (the only AU character appearing in Season Eleven, who is allowed to live)[139] is the Smallville version of the Joker, or if the Clown Prince of Crime is still in Batman's future.

Zan and Jayna / Wonder Twins[]

Green Lantern Corps[]

Justice League[]

Justice Society of America[]

Notes[]

  • According to Lois Lane, the members of the JSA fought other bad guys, outside of Joar Mahkent/Icicle. By 2010, they had all been secretly released from prison (both them and their records were gone), implied to being collected by Checkmate (possibly to serve in the Suicide Squad).[103] The identities of the bad guys, and how many there are, is unknown. It is also unknown what happened to them after the destruction of Checkmate. Though, the members of the Suicide Squad was shown to have survived the end of Checkmate.[146] In theory, all the bad guys released and collected by Checkmate would have been left to roam free, after the destruction of the agency.
