Only A 90's Kid Can Name These Smallville Characters

Smallville was definitely one of the most memorable shows of the 90s. While it may seem like nothing special today, you have to remember how awesome this show was when it first came out. Before Smallville, superhero shows were nowhere to be seen. Smallville tried to retell the Superhero stories we were all familiar with in a unique and modern way, something that proved to be a massive trend. Before long, Superhero movies and TV shows became some of the most popular forms of media in the world, and we have shows like Smallville to thank for that.

Smallville was so successful that plenty of shows running today are spin-offs from this amazing series. The Flash and Arrow both take strong influences from Smallville, and they include characters that previously appeared on the original 90s show. Jensen Ackles had his start on Smallville before going on to star in Supernatural, as did plenty of other actors. It really was a show that helped tons of actors and shows get off their feet. But how big of a fan were you? Can you recognize all of these memorable Smallville characters? Take the quiz now to find out if you're a true fan...

 

Question 1

This Familiar Face

If you were a fan of Smallville back in the day, you probably remember this face, but truth be told he wasn't around for that long. That's because the actor who played this character, Jensen Ackles, went on to star in his very own show, Supernatural, not long after he started work on Smallville. The character he played was pretty interesting, and in the end he turned out to be evil. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 2

This Bully

Here's another character that Smallville fans will probably recognize, and this guy was slated to be a stereotypical bully right from the very beginning of the show. He actually tied Clark to a crucifix in the very first episode, leaving him to suffer in a cornfield, next to some Kryptonite. While this may have soured his reputation with a few fans, this character eventually makes some interesting transformations and developments. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 3

This Super Villain

While there were plenty of villains in the many episodes of Smallville, few gave our hero as big of a challenge as this guy. He was incredibly powerful, owing to the fact that he shared Clark's alien heritage. He was also intelligent, evil, and very resourceful. Of course, he was eventually stopped by Clark, but not before significant damage was done. He was definitely one of the most memorable villains. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 4

This Awesome Side Character

While there were plenty of villains and enemies for Clark to face over the course of the many seasons and episodes of Smallville, there were also plenty of allies to help him along the way. Some provided friendship and moral support, while others could handle themselves in a fight, backing Clark up when he needed a little extra manpower. Or womanpower, as this character proved. She was just as powerful as Clark. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 5

This Best Friend

Where would Clark be without his very best friend? This character was at Clark's side right from the very beginning, and although he was never really much help in terms of Clark's fights with his enemies, he was a valuable addition to the series. This character made the world of Smallville seem more believable, and the high school setting of the show was brought to life by this interesting character. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 6

This Awesome Character

Here's another awesome character that really added to the variety of the show. He's a well known character in the comic book of Superman, and to see him brought to life in the show was really awesome. The actor who played this character, Aaron Ashmore, captured the personality of this character perfectly. You might also recognize this character from a ton of other interesting productions, movies, and TV shows. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 7

This Interesting Enemy

Here's another one of Clark's enemies that gave him a real challenge over the course of a few Smallville episodes. This character was incredibly powerful, but also showed a very human side. We really got to sympathize while he was part of the main story, and we even felt sorry for him. He was experimented on by the Luthors, and he didn't even remember the terrible things he would do at night. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 8

This Dad

And who could forget this memorable father figure? Yes, this is Clark's father, and what a great father he proved to be. He may only be human, but his personality and his morals made him a true Superman, if only judging by strength of character alone. Passing on his strong morals to his adopted son, this father figure played a strong role in molding Superman into the hero he would one day become. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 9

This Recognizable Character

Every good show needs a strong, interesting love interest, and Lana Lang was the perfect character for that role. Even though Lois Lane later becomes the most famous love interest for Clark, she was his first high school love, and that's what is mainly explored throughout Smallville's many seasons and episodes. This character is portrayed by the very popular and beautiful Kristin Kreuk, and she does an excellent job of making us fall in love. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 10

This Strong Female Character

Smallville was filled with strong female characters, and that was probably a huge reason why it was so universally popular. While a show about a comic book hero might seem to be marketed primarily towards men, the addition of interesting, complex women in the show made it appealing for all types of people. One such addition was this strong female character, who started off as a villain but later evolved into much more. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 11

This Interesting Father Figure

This father figure might just be the polar opposite of Jonathan Kent, and most of us grew to hate him by the end of the season. He was conflicted, well written, and incredibly evil when he wanted to be. He also showed that he could be very manipulative and two-faced. But perhaps the most impact he had on the show was his influence on his son - another villain in the show. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 12

This Mom

Here's another brilliant character that we all grew to love by the end of the show. In fact, she left the show before Smallville had even run its course, which was pretty devastating to some of Smallville's biggest fans. On paper, she's just a sterotypical, simple mother figure, but the show proved that she could be much more. She become a senator, and she never failed to show her intelligence. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 13

This Awesome Hero

Of course, Clark Kent wasn't the only hero in the story. Far from it. Aside from the other characters who were good people and great influences on Clark, there were also plenty of other Superheroes that Clark interacted with. This character is a prime example of that, possibly the best example. He actually now has his own show, and it's become incredibly successful. A lot of fans loved this character. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 14

The Main Character

This is probably the most obvious question in this entire quiz, but it wouldn't really feel complete unless we mentioned him. He is of course the main character of the entire show, and we got to know him very well over the course of this amazing series. The actor totally fit the character he was playing, and he really grew as a person throughout the show's many episodes. But do you actually know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 15

This Incredible Side Character

Of all the characters in the show, this one probably won the most fans. There was something really lovable about this quirky friend to Clark, and as the series progressed, we learned that there was much, much more than meets the eye. We initially meet her in the high school Clark attends, and she befriends Clark pretty early on. The first few seasons focus on the friendship between her, Pete and Clark. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 16

This Epic Villain

Here's another character that will be pretty easy to identify, and aside from Clark he might just be the most important character in the entire show. In the first few seasons at least, one of the most interesting things about Smallville is that we not only get to see Clark's beginnings, but also that of his arch-nemesis. He starts off fairly innocent, but quickly spirals down into utter evil. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 17

This Villain

This is definitely one of the most interesting villains to ever appear in the Smallville universe. He was completely inhuman, and that's what made him so scary. He was in fact an artificial intelligence constructed by Jor-El back on Krypton. But eventually, he becomes corrupted by Zod and unleashed on Earth. He creates all kinds of havoc, and has a tendency to keep coming back even after he supposedly dead. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 18

This Interesting Character

Here's another one of the most interesting character to ever appear in Smallville, and this one kind of defies classification. What we mean is he's not really a villain, yet he's also not really a friend or an ally to the main characters. He was actually sent by Lionel Luthor to spy on Lana Lang, and he was also experimented on using strange technology to resurrect him from the dead. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 19

This Sheriff

The law enforcement officials around the small town of Smallville don't play a major role in the story, but they have their moments. One of the more memorable characters of this type was this Sheriff. She actually took over from another Sheriff who was around for the first few seasons, and that character was given the boot because of his corruption. This character did everything by the book, a total opposite of her predecessor. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 20

This Doctor

This doctor was one of the most interesting characters in the entire show, even though he didn't stick around for very long. As you can see, the actor who portrayed this character is none other than Christopher Reeves. If you're not aware of who this is, he played the original character of Superman. The inclusion of this legendary actor in the series was a wonderful choice, and one that fans loved. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 21

This Sheriff

When we first get introduced to the town of Smallville, this man is the Sheriff. Because of all the strange things that happen in this town, we actually see a lot of him. He's always trying to clean up the huge messes caused by Clark's insane powers, and he can never quite figure out what's going on in his own town. Of course, he's also guilty of being corrupt, which is why he loses his position. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 22

This Doctor

This doctor also became a pretty major character as the seasons progressed, and we got to know her pretty well. Initially, she works at the Smallville medical center, and treats the many people who visit the hospital for strange injuries. Later, she becomes Lex's wife, and they get involved in some strange situations together. Throughout the series, we can't quite figure out whether she's a good or bad person. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 23

This Editor At The Daily Planet

Here's another interesting character in Smallville, although he doesn't really come in until some of the later seasons. When Clark and Chloe start to work at the Daily Planet, he ends up being their boss. He's also instrumental in hiring Lois Lane, who ends up being one of the best characters in the entire series. But this character also has a dark secret - he's actually a clone of one of the Luthor children. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 24

This Awesome Hero

Here's another simply awesome hero that makes an appearance in Smallville. We've said before that Clark isn't the only superhero that appears in this show, but Oliver Queen isn't the only one. There's also this character, who is as mysterious as he is powerful. While at first we have no idea who he is, we start to learn more about him, and he actually provides some interesting insight into Clark's past. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 25

This Epic Character

Probably one of the best characters in the entire series, fans rejoiced when this one was introduced. We got to know her pretty well over the course of the series, and the actress who played this character did an amazing job of capturing the comic book character that we're so familiar with. She had attitude, she had guts, and she was anything BUT a damsel in distress. Definitely a fan favorite. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 26

This Cool Hero

Here's another cool hero that appears in the Smallville universe, and this one was also pretty well-received. This character is of course incredibly fast, and later got his very own show (except with a different actor). Interestingly, because of DC trademark issues, they couldn't actually refer to this character by his proper name - yet everyone knew exactly who he was. The crazy thing about this character is that he's even faster than Clark. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 27

This Awesome Hero

Here's another interesting and awesome hero that appears in the Smallville cast, and he's actually one of the Justice League. Eventually, the show switches from telling the story of Clark's humble beginnings to a much more mature tale, and this character was definitely a big part of that. Smallville starts to tell the story of the Justice League, which this character i heavily involved with. He has some amazing powers. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 28

This Villain

As the show started to focus more and more on the Justice League, other characters started to take center stage, and we're not just talking about the various heroes. There were also some new villains added to the storyline, although it wasn't clear that this guy was evil until much later on. This villain is a wealthy businessman with some amazing powers up his sleeve as well. This might be a challenge. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 29

This Strange Character

Here's another strange villain that might be hard for some people to identify. As you can tell from the photo, it's obvious that this character is played by the same actor as the one who plays Clark Kent. But these two characters are very, very different. This character was created in a Kryptonian lab, and originally didn't look like Clark. But when he escaped and came to Earth, he absorbed some of Clark's DNA. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 30

This Forgettable Villain

Here's another villain, although this one is probably one of the more forgettable. There were countless villains in the show, some of which only made brief cameos for one or two episodes. For a while, the episodes followed a basic formula where Clark defeats a new enemy (usually some kind of mutant) in each episode. Because this villain was ultimately so forgettable, it presents a unique challenge for this quiz. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 31

Another Great Villain

Here's another interesting villain that you might remember. This villain, like many other villains in the show, is taken directly from the Superman comics (with some minor modifications, of course). There have been many instances where the show made huge changes to the comic book versions of the characters they include. But with this villain, the show was praised for being very true to the comics, and very accurate. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 32

This Awesome Cameo

This is probably going to be a very familiar face for many of you out there, especially if you have watched another show popular during the 90s and early 2000s. We are of course talking about The OC, and this actor played the central character of Seth in that show. But before he made it big on The OC, he managed to land a cameo in Smallville, playing a telekinetic teen. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 33

This Mother

Here's another pretty small character, but she is an important one. This character will also present a challenge to some of you out there, because she hardly ever appeared on the show. She is of course Clark Kent's mother. If you know anything about the comics and the lore of Superman, you'll have no trouble answering this question. She appears briefly, and is a very good-natured, moral character and mother figure. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 34

This Illegitimate Son

You're really going to have to rack your brains if you want to identify this character. Since we're getting to the very end of the quiz, it's about time for some real challenges. Only people who are true fans of Smallville will get this one. This character is actually the illegitimate son of Lex Luthor, who later shows up and helps Lex expose Lionel for his evil, nefarious ways. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?

Question 35

This Villain

Let's finish things off with one of the most memorable villains in the entire series, and one that a lot of people really loved. This guy wakes up after a car accident to find himself with a Kryptonite heart, which ends up giving him superhuman abilities. He vows vengeance against what he calls the "red blue blur," who he thinks is irresponsible and harmful. He presents a major challenge for Clark. But do you know the name of this memorable Smallville character?
