Clark
went to find Pete and the thief took a blow torch to Clark's eyes and broke up
the scar tissue. At first Clark saw only blurry and it improved over time. While
his eyes were healing he wore his world famous disguise as seen on the right in
the picture above.
Pete
had been kidnapped by the very man who robbed the jewelry store and Clark of his
sight. Clark had to learn how to focus his hearing so he could find Pete.
Jonathan and Martha found him out in the barn with every equipment he could find
running and Clark desperately trying to hear the radio. Clark became frustrated
so Jonathan and Martha came to Clark's aide and helped him learn to control his
Super-Hearing.
Like
blind humans, Clark's other senses were hightened--actually just his hearing. He
began to hear things amplified to the point where it hurt his ears. He could
hear the grinding of a lock to a student's backpack's zipper. He could also hear
things from far away. In another part of the school he heard Chloe talking to
Lionel about her investigating Clark.
Clark first developed his Super-Hearing in
episode
3.10 Whisper. A meteor freak comes into the jewelry store that
Clark's at and sends out a high-pitched signal much like an insect. Clark tried
to stop him with his
Heat
Vision and it was reflected back into his eyes by
Kryptonite
. This infection of Kryptonite caused
Clark to go blind.
