I
figured it would be easier to keep all the Mythos heavy factors of Smallville on
one page. So just click on the link below you want to go to.
Brainiac
had first appeared in the comics in the late 1950's and continues to plague
Superman with
problems. However, he didn't always appear as "sleek" as he does in Smallville
as you can see in the photo below.
Brainiac has always been quite a problem throughout all of
Superman's
history. In the
Smallville continutiy, Brainiac came down with General Zod to take over the
world, destroy the human race, and reestablish
Krypton on Earth.
Brainiac, which stands for the "Brain InterActive Construct," is actually a
machine built on Krypton. He is a key factor in the desctruction of Krypton.
Although built for good purposes, Brainiac has become a diabolical machine whose
only mission is to kill but Clark won't let THAT happen!

paranoid in 5.7
Splinter.
Top Right: Brainiac on the roof of the Daily Planet
gloating to Clark that he's been beat in 7.15
Veritas.
Middle Left: Brainiac overpowering Clark with green
kryptonite in the Fortress of Solitude in 5.8
Solitude.
Middle Right: Brainiac being destroyed by Kara on
Krypton
when Brainiac tried to kill Clark as a baby by going back in time
to kill him in 1989
in 7.18
Apocolypse. But don't worry folks--he'll be back!
Bottom Left:
Brainiac can also split himself into more than one entity. He's in Honduras with
the black ship in 5.16
Hypnotic.
Bottom Right: Brainiac trying to convince Kara to help him
in his "mission" in episode 7.14
Veritas.

The Fortress of Solitude located in the Arctic
Bottom Left: Clark enters the
Fortress for the first time
Bottom Right: Clark inside his
Fortress
This
is
Clark's
(Superman's) Fortress of Solitude. In the
Superman Mythology, Superman
goes to the Fortress of Solitude to learn more about his home, Krypton. Jor-El,
his father, is deceased but he his messages in the Fortress for Superman.
In Smallville, Clark's father,
Jonathan
Kent, calls Clark's loft in the barn his "Fortress of Solitude" in reference
to the Superman mythology.
These
are the Kryptonian Stones of Power. The one at the top means the Element of
Water. On the bottom left is the Element of Fire. The one in the bottom right is
the Element of Air. When these stones are united they form the Kryptonian
diamond-shaped crystal seen in the center.
So,
going back to the beginning, how did Clark "grow" the Fortress? When Clark
grabbed hold of the crystal it transported him to the arctic (the cave now acts
as a portal to the Fortress). When he threw the crystal the Fortress grew. Well,
think of a Kryptonian crystal as super seed. These crystals transform and grow
mimicing the properties of its surrounding environment. When Clark threw the
crystal into the snow and ice, the crystal took on the form of it's environment
and grew rapidly.
