The series stars Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch in the title roles, as well as Jordan Elsass, Michael Bishop, Alex Garfin, Inde Navarrette, Erik Valdez, Emmanuelle Chriqui and Dylan Walsh. The series was initially set in the Arrowverse, sharing continuity with the other television series of the franchise. However, after season 2, it was revealed that the series took place on an as-yet-unidentified alternate Earth in the ArrowverseMultiverse.
Kal-El / Clark Kent / Superman (portrayed by Tyler Hoechlin; seasons 1-present; Dylan Kingwell as a teenage Clark in season one, Josh Zaharia as a teenage Clark in season two, Thomas Hoeving as a child, Parker Cousineau during his grade school years, Lennix James as a 4-year-old Clark) is a superhero from Krypton who defends Earth and is Lois' husband.[2]
In season one after losing his job at the Daily Planet and his mother dying of a stroke, Clark relocates the family to Smallville for a fresh start and becomes the assistant football coach in Smallville High School. Hoechlin previously portrayed Clark in a recurring role in Supergirl, where the character was introduced, before appearing in guest roles in Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and Batwoman.
In season two, Clark starts to have strange visions and butts heads with Lt. General Mitch Anderson. A scan by Lara Lor-Van's A.I. at Tal-Rho's lair reveals that they are being caused by an "invasive cosmological event". This would lead to an encounter with Bizarro and a fight against Ally Allston. Following the defeat against Ally Allston and her Bizarro counterpart, Superman builds a new Fortress of Solitude in the ocean for his family.
In season three, Clark works to train Jordan in using his powers. In addition, he also goes to work for Chrissy.
Hoechlin also portrays an evil version of Superman from another Earth. His history in the canon Arrowverse comic mini-series Earth-Prime #2 revealed that his Jonathan and Martha died in a car accident and he was put in a terrible foster home. After unknowing using his powers on the foster father, Clark fled until he was caught by the government who kept him in their custody until the day he escaped. Clark made his way to the Fortress of Solitude where he met the A.I. of his world's Jor-El. After getting training for his abilities, Clark became Superman and used his powers. After being delusioned that the entire world will still be in danger no matter how many times he averts danger, Superman met Tal-Rho who persuaded him to remake Earth into the new Kryton which led to different attacks with Kryptonian-powered people where he killed his world's Lois Lane and Sam Lane and became an opponent to John Henry Irons. While pursuing him into space where John flew into the energy wave during the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Superman was saved by Magog who offered to pair him up against Earth-Prime's Superman.
Bizarro (portrayed by Tyler Hoechlin; recurring: season 2; guest: season 3; performed by Daniel Cudmore in full-armored form, motion-captured by Paul Lazenby in monstrous form) is a deformed version of Superman from Bizarro World who sports a tattered cape and a backwards version of the Superman logo while sporting opposite abilities. His fame and the development of his son Jon-El's powers go over his head putting a strain on his family. When it came to the rise of his world's Ally Allston, Bizarro's relationship with his Tal-Rho is strained. After getting deformed, Bizarro informs Lois and Sam of his mission to go after the other Ally Allston before they can merge. He was first seen in a full-armored form in the Shuster Mine. His attack in the Shuster Mine attracted the attention of Dr. Faulkner and her as-yet-unidentified superior. When it was freed, Bizarro went on the attack on the soldiers there until it engaged Superman and John Henry Irons. While John was able to break part of the helmet to show its face, Bizarro only retreated when he suffered from the same painful visions that Superman had. In the arctic, Bizarro sheds his armor. Bizarro attacks Superman again where his special necklace starts to siphon some energy from him. John barely manages to help repel him. The Supermen of America track down the figure at Salar de Uyuni as Superman senses him killing the two unnamed members. Superman arrives to fight him while Tag escapes with the necklace. The figure is repelled at the cost of John getting hospitalized. Superman later fights Bizarro again after he kills Dr. Faulkner and nearly kills Ally Alston. With help from Lara's A.I., Superman was able to translate Bizarro's language where he learns that Ally will bring ruin to his world after she had conquered his world. After Superman and Lois escaped from Mitch Anderson's custody, Tal-Rho learned from Bizarro that his Bizarro counterpart was inseparable from him until Tal-Rho's wife nearly killed him. When Anderson attacks while wielding Project 7334 weapons and X-Kryptonite, Lara's A.I. released Bizarro to help fight Anderson. Bizarro was overpowered by Anderson who used X-Kryptonite grenades on him and strangled Bizarro to death. Both the Bizarro version of Lara's A.I. and the Bizarro version of the Kents learned of what happened from both Superman and Anderson.
In season three, Bizarro's corpse is stolen by Intergang. Dr. Hook does an autopsy on it to further Intergang's research, which seemingly causes Bizarro to briefly return from the dead. Bruno Mannheim later shows his son Matteo the body of Bizarro as he plans to use it for research to find a cure for Peia Mannheim. After Peia dies and Bruno is defeated, Bizarro is fully revived by the serum; given that his skin is pulsating and he is yelling incoherently, he is unlikely the same man he was. Lex and Otis find Bizarro in the damaged tunnels, feeding on rats. When Bizarro spots them, he immediately tackles Otis and eats his ear. Luthor repeatedly kills Bizarro with X-Kryptonite in order to make him stronger, eventually turning him into a more monstrous form.
In season one, Lois quits her job after Morgan Edge buys the Daily Planet and start working at a local publication Smallville Gazette.
In season two, Lois and Chrissy start to work on expanding their staff. Due to some sources recanting the stories written by Lois, she and Chrissy work to prove them starting with one that Lois was told about by her sister Lucy and her encounter with cult leader Ally Alston. Thanks to Sam, Lois works to speak with Lucy only to end up confronted by Ally Alston who claimed that Lucy sent her in her place. Following Ally Allston's defeat, Lois reveals to Chrissy that Clark is Superman and has a brief chat with Ally and her Bizarro counterpart.
In season three, Lois visits Dr. Irons about what she knows about what this Earth's version of John Henry Irons did that involved Bruno Mannheim. Later on, Dr. Irons asks Lois to come in to do some more tests. Lois later reveals that she has been diagnosed with Stage 3 inflammatory breast cancer.[3][4]

In season 1 although Jonathan initially claims that he isn't bothered by the fact that he unfortunately didn't get superpowers like Jordan and even supports his brother on his journey to master his new abilities, he does admit later on that a part of him is actually jealous of his twin brother's new powers since thanks to them Jordan becomes very popular at their new high school and Smallville High's best new football player, but doesn't let his jealousy destroy his relationship with his brother and they both still love each other very much. Jonathan's insecurities comes to ahead later in season 1 after Jonathan and Jordan find out about how Morgan Edge and John Henry Irons are threatening both Smallville and their parent's lives.

After a fight with a crazed Mitch Anderson, Clark returns and is informed of what happened, telling Jonathan to start apologizing to Principal Balcomb, Coach Gaines, and the Smallville Crows. Clark persuades Principal Balcomb to allow Jonathan to do an online education as Jonathan will also be working at Brit and Dunn's. After a fire at a warehouse containing X-Kryptonite, Sam persuades Jonathan to come clean as he advises them to keep the identity of the person private from the press. He calls Candice to the farm as she informs them on what she knows. Jonathan is eventually allowed to start attending school again and although he initially has struggles from being outcast by his peers following his circumstances after being expelled and meeting Jon-El, going on a small adventure with Jordan and Natalie helps Jonathan overcome this hurdle. Following Ally Allston's defeat, Jonathan and Jordan receive trucks that were delivered to them by "Uncle Tal".

Things between Jon and Candice temporarily become icy after Jon accuses her dad of stealing his truck. After locating his truck within a warehouse, Jordan and Natalie help Jonathan get his truck back and he later reconciles with Candice after she reveals that she found confirmation that it was indeed her father who stole Jonathan's truck when she returns the gift watch. Jonathan later confronts Candice's dad Emmett over his illegal activities including his theft of Jonathan's truck which Emmett falsely denies. When Jonathan further insists on Emmett's bad qualities, he's given a black eye by Emmett and is forced to tell his parents what happened after they inquire about what happened. After Clark and Lois confront Emmett, he leaves town with the Kents allowing Candice to live with them. 3 weeks later Candice moves in with her aunt in Topeka with Jonathan agreeing to a long-distance relationship despite working most of the week at Brit and Dunn's and being offered a place within the fire department by Kyle on the weekends.
Jordan Elsass also portrays Jon-El Jonathan's Bizarro counterpart, who has powers. With his relationship with his father is strained, Jon-El is swayed to the side of his world's Ally Allston. When both versions of Ally Allston start to merge, Jon-El is instructed to merge with his counterpart as Superman goes after him. He appears to inform Lois and Jordan that Superman lost. After attempt to merge with Jonathan failed, Jon-El kidnaps Lana, luring Superman into a Kryptonite-based trap and summons Lana-Rho. When he goes after Jonathan again, Jordan managed to defeat them in mid-air.

Lois finds out that Jordan withheld information on Jonathan taking X-Kryptonite. After Jordan secretly helps save Kyle from a fire by super leaping through a wall that John Henry Irons witnesses, Lois confronted Jordan about it and learned that Sam trained him. She forbade Jordan to follow in his father's footsteps until Lois and Sam were caught outside an X-Kryptonite distribution house. Lois was forced to call for Jordan's help when she realized that without him they would've been killed and witnessed him effortlessly defeat their captors after he gained his ability of accelerated perception and save them thanks to his newfound handle on his powers. When it came to the fight against Ally Allston's followers, he struggled in his fight against Jon-El (who had been sent to merge with Jonathan), but manages to defeat him while in the air when Jordan flies for the first time.

Unlike Jonathan, Jordan doesn't try to bother getting his drivers license due to returning his own truck since he could already fly and run at super speed. With Smallville High temporarily closed due to black mold remediations, Jonathan convinces Jordan to fly them to a party in Metropolis in order for Jordan to meet with another girl to try and get over Sarah. After meeting Sarah at the party, they both decide to continue with being just friends and have fun together at the party.

Jordan argues with Sam over whether or not he should get his hair cut, but they later reconcile after Sam gives Jordan his own suit to better hide his identity when operating as a superhero. Jordan eventually becomes frustrated after Clark's insistence that he's not ready to be a superhero and being given more and more training tests one after another. After Superman is tricked into an ambush by Intergang, Jordan manages to save his father and is shot with kryptonite in the process. Even though the kryptonite briefly incapacitates him, Jordan discovers that due to being half-human, Kryptonite doesn't seem to affect him the way it does normal Kryptonians, with Clark even speculating that Jordan could have the potential to even surpass him in power. Jordan attends a party where he bumps into Sarah and they eventually have a heated argument. Despite this, after the police raid the party, Jordan rescues Sarah and George Dean Jr. after they end up in a car crash while fleeing from the cops.

Additionally, he was married to his Earth's Lois Lane and had a daughter named Natalie. After Lois exposed the Kryptonians' weakness to Kryptonite on the news, she was killed by Superman. In response, John and Nat built a suit of armor and incorporated an A.I. named Hedy he took from his Earth's Lex Luthor. As he was unable to reprogram its recognition protocols, John was forced to go by "Captain Luthor". At some point prior to his Earth's destruction, John makes his way to Earth-Prime and witnesses its Superman.
Convinced he will inevitably turn evil, John hunts down Earth-Prime Superman. Along the way, he encounters Earth-Prime's Lois, introduces himself as "Marcus Bridgewater", and offers to help her investigate Morgan, leading to them finding X-Kryptonite. After finishing his hammer, John uses Lois to arrange a meeting with Superman and beats him after weakening him with red solar flares. Upon having Lt. Reno Rosetti run the prints on the box he gave them to see if he was related to Lex Luthor, she learned that "Marcus" is a variation of John Henry Irons. Meanwhile, having obtained John's fingerprints to see if he was related to Luthor, Lois deduces John's identity and joins forces with her sons, Jonathan and Jordan, to save Superman while the Department of Defense take John into their custody. While being interrogated by Superman, John briefly reminisces on his past and how he got to Earth-Prime before warning Superman that Earth-Prime will go through what his Earth did. However, Lois convinces John that her Superman is nothing like the ones from his Earth. John later helps Superman in his fight against Tal-Rho. Afterwards, John is surprised by the arrival of Natalie.

He later sets up a perimeter around Lana's house just in case of another attacker. After helping Superman defeat Mike Gunn, John analyzes the gautnlets he used. Comparing them to the rockets on his armor, John finds out that they are similar. After a talk with Clark, John goes to Metropolis and meets this world's version of his sister Dr. Darlene Irons while mentioning that he is not from this Earth. Upon learning about his counterpart from Darlene, John was later visited by Elias Orr who stated that Bruno Mannheim wanted to meet him. When meeting John, Bruno mentioned his awareness of John not being his John, that this Earth's John wanted to be a hero, and the allegations towards Bruno. Wanting to know who smart this John is, Bruno had arranged Darlene to be strapped to a bomb that was made by this Earth's John. Upon locating her and disarming the bomb, John went back to Bruno who stated that he has Intergang members on standby to target his counterpart's other relatives. During the latest visit with Darlene, John learns that the restaurant that Matteo Mannheim took Natalie to meet her parents at was where her John met with Bruno. When John arrived, Bruno had Natalie and Matteo evacuated so that he and his men can deal with John. Upon John summoning his armor, Peia went on the attack even when Superman arrived to help. Following the incident, John had to confiscate Natalie's phone as a precaution.

His previous experiments resulted in only one non-flawed subject, his assistant Leslie Larr. His work in Smallville brings him into further conflict with Lois Lane and an alternate John Henry Irons, who comes from an Earth where a similar army led by Superman ravaged Metropolis and murdered John's wife, Lois. Edge is later revealed to be a Kryptonian named Tal-Rho, the son of Lara Lor-Van and Zeta-Rho and thus Superman's maternal half-brother.
His escape pod landed in England, where he immediately came into conflict with the local townspeople. He was captured and experimented on before managing to escape, causing him to hate mankind. His goal is to resurrect Krypton on Earth by implanting Kryptonian consciousnesses into human hosts using the X-Kryptonite and the Eradicator. Upon finding Superman's body at the Fortress of Solitude following the defeat of most of the Subjekts, Tal-Rho uses Kryptonian technology to review Superman's memories, discovering his human family. With his family threatened, Superman agrees to accompany Tal-Rho to his hideout where the A.I. of Zeta-Rho instructs Tal-Rho to use the Eradicator on him. After the attempt is thwarted during a fight with John, Tal-Rho is defeated with the Eradicator not being found and is placed in a Kryptonite cell. What nobody knows is that Tal-Rho had somehow become fused with the Eradicator which enables him to overcome the Kryptonite and begin his next plot that involved placing a copy of Zeta-Rho into Jordan. Superman and John were able to defeat Tal-Rho and remove Zeta-Rho from Jordan. Tal-Rho and Leslie are placed in DOD custody.

After a brief scuffle between Superman and Tal-Rho, Lara tells Superman that his visions are the result of an "invasive cosmological event" and tells Tal-Rho that there might be some good in him. Tal-Rho is later returned to his cell. When Superman ends up locked in Tal-Rho's cell by Anderson, Tal-Rho is tortured so that Superman can get Anderson the location of Bizarro. Thanks to a later tactic from Bizarro, Superman and Tal-Rho escape from their cell as Superman follows Tal-Rho to his fortress. With Lara's A.I. translating, Tal-Rho learned that his Bizarro counterpart was inseparable from Bizarro until Bizarro Tal-Rho's wife tried to kill him. Before Tal-Rho can ask who his wife was, they were attacked by Anderson who was powered with Project 7334 weapons and X-Kryptonite. When Anderson fired a Kryptonite gun at Superman, Tal-Rho jumped in front of him. As Anderson fights Bizarro, Superman had to use his heat vision on the Kryptonite shards and fly Tal-Rho to the sun. Back in his cell, Tal-Rho is informed by Superman that Bizarro is dead and Anderson is at large. Before Superman departs, Tal-Rho has him forward his apology to Jordan. Superman later had Tal-Rho released so that he can help destroy Ally Allston's pendant. Though he had to get Lois' apology first. During this plan in an active volcano, Superman and Tal-Rho were ambushed by Ally Allston. With help from John, Superman and Tal-Rho fended off Ally and destroyed the pendant. Once that was done, Superman found that a weakened Tal-Rho managed to sneak away. Tal-Rho later returned to help Superman regain his powers so that he can defeat Ally Allston. Once Ally was defeated, Tal-Rho used his "Uncle Tal" alias to send Jonathan and Jordan two trucks. Then he went to Bizarro World to start life anew as he starts to learn from a bartender on who his wife was.

Tal-Rho's relationship with his brother was strained due to a disagreement about their world's Ally Allston. He and Lana later accompanied both versions of Ally Allston in claiming the pendant from Superman and Mitch Anderson. After Anderson was killed by Jon-El and both versions of Ally Allston start to merge while sending Jon-El to merge with his counterpart, Tal-Rho blows down Lana and allows Superman to go after Jon-El. While imprisoned for this action, Ally Allston visited Tal-Rho's cell. When he asks to see his wife, Ally states that she won't see him anymore as she drains his lifeforce from his body.

Peia was later placed in a special cell in the DOD to receive treatment for her cancer condition. The serum may have cured Peia's cancer and dramatically increased her powers, but it also seems to have made her powers that much harder to contain. She ends up releasing a scream that causes a city-wide blackout when she can no longer hold them in. A second dose of the serum makes it even worse, causing her to release a sonic blast that liquefies Elias Orr. Realizing Mannheim's cure will not work, she leaves him behind to avoid having him see her die or face the authorities who will be drawn to her; as he mourns her back in his hideout. When Superman arrives on the scene, he sees that her tumors have gotten even worse when he tries to help her. Peia's skin begins to glow with orange spots from the force of the vibrations she is holding in. It is to the point that his only choice is to talk her into allowing herself to die, rather than holding on and risking the lives of everyone in the city. The sheer force of her powers eventually kills her when she releases it in a single, massive burst after Superman takes her into the sky. Superman then leaves her corpse and forwards her final words to Bruno and Matteo.
