"Shouldn't you be in school?" - Lois Lane to Stuart Campbell, Metallo

Stuart Campbell was an employee of Tess Mercer who later became a member of Checkmate. He had an extensive knowledge of Krypton and Kryptonians.

Personality[]

"Stuart Campbell, graduate of MIT... So it looks like Stuart Campbell is Tess' tech Boy Wonder and he has done some pretty heavyweight hacking of his own... government databases, corporations... Wow!"
Chloe commenting on Stuart's files

Stuart was an arrogant computer prodigy graduated from MIT, who had managed to covertly and successfully hacked into many high-security organizations. He was particularly proud of these and was not shy to gloat and show his own face to taunt whoever he regarded as worthy of being his equal.

However, Stuart did have his own moral codes. He stood up to Tess when the latter tried to make him wipe Lois' memories, arguing that if he messed up that he could possibly leave Lois catatonic, and paid the price for this act of personal chivalry by being shot in the head. Although he survived the injury, it cost him to lose the left eye.

Season Nine[]

"Greetings, esteemable foe, whoever you are. Now, I'm guessing since you made it this far, you probably haven't slept and your fingers are getting really cramped up, so I thought I would take it upon myself to do you a big favor and just say, 'Give up'. I can do this all day and all night. I'm sure you already get the picture, so... talk to the hand!"
— Stuart in his video address to Chloe

Stuart first came to Tess stating that he doesn't know where the Kryptonians are but knows where they stopped in Metropolis. Later, Tess and Stuart investigated the room in which John Corben awoke in earlier, and saw that the people performing surgery in there were testing something and were possibly still monitoring the test subject to see if it would work. She then stated that Major Zod and his people were one step closer to getting their powers. He then showed her a familiar image they had seen before: the House of El sigil burned into the ground, but with one difference: this Mark of El had a man lying naked in the middle.

Stuart's video message.

When Chloe tried to hack into Tess' system for lead on the Kandorians, Stuart kept creating firewalls to deny her access. The two ended up having a hundred-round cyber battle, where Stuart was impressed by Chloe's skills and persistence. He then uploaded a video praising her as a "esteemable foe", at the same time gloating about his own skills and taunting her to quit trying. However, this show-off gesture gave Chloe the opportunity to scan Stuart's fingerprints and dig up his identity. Chloe then used Stuart's background information to confront and extort Stuart, forcing him to serve as her mole within LuthorCorp.

Stuart disobeys Tess.

When Tess ordered Lois to be taken from the hospital, Stuart used some machines to show images of what she was remembering on a screen. Stuart was told to use Project Intercept for Tess to enter Lois' mind. After releasing Tess from Lois' memories of the future, Tess told Stuart to erase Lois' memories. However, Stuart stood his ground and defied her order, for which he was punished by Tess with a bullet from behind. Emil and Chloe were able to get Stuart to the hospital, and treated.

Agent Waller and Agent Campbell

Stuart spent five months in recovery after Tess had shot him. He was recruited by Checkmate and became their White Knight. He helped hack Watchtower in order to get more information that Checkmate needed on the Kandorians. He then pursued Tess who was on the run from Checkmate after betraying them. He was unable to find her and returned to base where Zod showed up, scorching the castle with his heat vision. Stuart was with Amanda Waller when Zod attacked and burned the castle to the ground, presumably killing both him and Waller, leaving their fates unknown.
