"It started out as a scrapbook... and then it just kind of mutated!"—Chloe Sullivan
The Wall of Weird was a mural, and later either an online database or a website, as it was accessed on a computer, originally made by Chloe Sullivan about all the strange and bizarre things that happened as the result of the 1989 meteor shower.
Physical Appearance[]
The Wall of Weird was a collage made up of clipped magazine and newspaper articles.
Early life[]
The Wall of Weird started out as a scrapbook that Chloe Sullivan kept but she eventually began to hang the articles up in the darkroom of the Torch office. Eventually, she moved it to the wall of the classroom that served as the office of the Torch.
Season One[]
During her freshman year, Coach Walt Arnold set fire to the Wall, but Chloe quickly and successfully repaired it to its full glory.
The Wall of Weird contained the cover of infamous Time Magazine issue featuring the anguished cry of a three-year-old Lana Lang on the day of the meteor shower. While Lana hated the fact that she was on the Wall, she never asked Chloe to take her picture down. When Clark Kent first saw the wall, he became upset because he felt he was responsible the meteor shower and all of its adverse effects.
Season Two[]
Chloe once featured articles on Clark detailing his dramatic rescue of Lex Luthor (Pilot) and his discovery of Kawatche Caves. (Skinwalker)

Season Five[]
Chloe took the Wall down for good when she graduated from high school, but set up a miniature version of it in her dorm room at Metropolis University. Her roomate hated the Wall and tried to take it down, but was stopped by Chloe. After Lana became a Tri-Psi vampire, the roomate got scared and transferred away to NYU, and Lana took the place as Chloe's roomate. It can be assumed that Lana had no problem with the Wall and it remained up until Chloe left the Unversity. (Thirst)

After taking over management of the Isis Foundation, Chloe turned her Wall of Weird archive into an archive for the Isis Foundation. (Legion)
