Seasons
1-Season 6 (moved to Washington D.C.)
Martha Kent, widowed wife of
Jonathan Kent, is
Clark's
adoptive mother. After her husband was elected senator just before his fatal
heart attack, Martha Kent took over the senate seat.
Martha and
Jonathan found Clark in a field by their house during the
Meteor
Shower of 1989. Ever since, she and Jonathan have been feverishly trying to
protect Clark and his secret.
Martha is compassionate, kind, giving, and
her son's wise counsel. She, many times, played the referee between Clark and
Jonathan.
Although Martha is intelligent, she is sometimes naive to the
ways of the Luthors, especially Lionel. She tries to see the good in him (after
all, that is what she and Jonathan have thought Clark) and in the meantime has
fallen in love with Lionel. This is probably to do with the death of her
husband.
Martha has spent her last air time as a regular on Smallville in
episode
6.22 Phantom. When the U.S. Senator Burke was murdered Lionel Luthor
suggested Martha to take his place in the Senate. She accepted and has moved to
Washington. Hopefully she will make some special guest appearances in the
seasons to come.
Season 1-3 (moved to
Witchita)
Pete Ross was
Clark
Kent's best friend. He is strong, determined, giving, and loyal and
impulsive. He was also the first to find out about Clark's secret.
After
stumbling across Clark's spaceship, Pete insists they tell
Chloe
Sullivan so they can become famous and rich. Clark is obviously hesitant and
steals the ship back from Pete. Pete sees him in the act and Clark is forced to
tell Pete his secret. Pete is shocked at first and offended that Clark never
trusted his secret with him sooner. But after Pete gets in trouble and Clark
comes to get him out of it, Pete realizes Clark's reasons for his secret.
Pete and Clark remained good friends until Pete got himself into $20,000
worth of trouble and asked Clark to bail him out using his powers. Clark, after
Pete's incessant badgering, Clark reluctantly agrees and "borrows" Lex's car to
get Pete out. After that incident, Clark begins to distrust Pete and they begin
to grow apart.
Shortly afterward, other people, including
Lex
Luthor, find out that Pete knows and interrogate him. Pete says that it's
too much to keep his secret and moves with his mother to
Wichita.
Seasons 1-5 (deceased--heart
attack)
Jonathan Kent, late husband of
Martha Kent and adoptive father of
Clark
Kent, runs the
Kent
farm.
Jonathan and Martha found Clark in a field by their house
after the
Meteor
Shower of 1989. Ever since, he and Martha have been feverishly trying to
protect Clark and his secret. He first told Clark that he was from another
planet in
episode
1.1 Pilot.
Jonathan is stubborn and doesn't like accepting help from
other people. He is strong and is full of wisdom. He doesn't ask anyone anything
more than what he expects for himself. He also has a bad temper.
He has
trouble trusting the Luthors (
Lionel
and
Lex)
because of their bad history and he doesn't hide it either. He doesn't like
Clark being such close friends with Lex Luthor but allows it.
During
episode
5.12
Reckoning, Jonathan succumbs to a heart attack and dies in Clark's arms with
Martha by his side. Clark is extremely effected by this because of how close he
was to his father. Jonathan comes back to tell Clark that Lionel Luthor knows
his secret and to give him guidance.
