Synopsis

The TV series begins in the small town of Smallville on which a meteorite fell. Jonathan and Martha Kent, a couple living nearby, found a real spaceship with a small child on board at the crash site of a space body. Deciding to take the baby, the Kents gave him the name Clark. This is how a long story begins (10 seasons with 218 episodes in total) about growing up and rising Superman, perhaps the most famous comic book character.

Meanwhile, a meteor shower brought kryptonite stones to Earth, causing some of Smallville’s inhabitants to mutate and turn into villains. However, ready to defend his second homeland, Superman is always there.

  • Curiously, not having all the rights to DC characters, the creators of “Smallville” allowed themselves to call Clark Kent the ‘Superman’ only twice – and only in the final season of the TV show.
