Fictional character biography

Background

Chloe was born in Metropolis in 1987 and moved to Smallville in eighth grade. In an episode where Chloe's life was in jeopardy, Clark revealed to Lana that in their past, when he had showed her his loft, she kissed him on the lips just to "get that out of the way"; it was Clark's first kiss. Chloe is Clark's platonic friend, though she concealed a long-buried love for Clark that sometimes caused her to resent Lana Lang and Clark's infatuation with her. At the end of the first season, Clark admitted to having some feelings for Chloe, but he was unable to let go of hopes that he might one day be with Lana.

The Luthor arc

In "Witness", Lionel Luthor offers Chloe her own column in the Daily Planet in exchange for information on Clark.

After Clark stumbles upon the arrangement, their friendship is momentarily ruined, though Clark eventually forgives her. In "Delete", Chloe stops investigating Clark, stating that she realizes he'll tell her his secrets when he's ready. It is a promise she keeps, but Chloe's trouble with Lionel continues. Using his influence to strip her of her Daily Planet column, Chloe is exposed to an experimental truth agent at LuthorCorp in "Truth", and when Lionel pays her a visit, Chloe forces him to make a voicemail confession to the murder of his parents. Lionel arranges for the voicemail to be deleted, but the data is later recovered in "Forsaken," where Lex Luthor gives the confession over to the FBI, who charge Lionel with murder.

Clark's secret

Chloe begins researching Clark's background in the first season episode "Zero" as part of a school assignment. She becomes increasingly curious and soon begins digging into Clark's adoption files.

Chloe follows Clark to the Fortress of Solitude.

Chloe is transported with Clark to the Arctic in the season five premiere "Arrival". She wakes up in front of the Fortress of Solitude, and is nearly killed from the extreme cold until Clark begs Jor-El to let him leave so he can save Chloe's life, and Jor-El reluctantly agrees. Clark takes her to a hospital in the Yukon, where Chloe tells Clark that she knows his secret and promises to never be the "iceberg to [his] Titanic."

Since then, the pair has worked as partners to help conceal Clark's powers and face his most lethal enemies yet, namely Brainiac. At the end of Season Five, the entire Daily Planet building goes haywire when Brainiac unleashes a computer virus that infects every computer system on Earth. Chloe, afraid she will never see Clark again, kisses Clark passionately, who kisses her back. She promises to leave Metropolis, but the city erupts into mass riots. Chloe frantically bangs on the window of a passing limousine belonging to Lionel Luthor outside the Daily Planet. He lets her inside, but the rioters overrun the car. Chloe is pulled out through a smashed window by the mob while Lionel is attacked on the opposite side. Fortunately, Lionel is able to fend off the rioters with the help of his bodyguard, and they escape into LuthorCorp Plaza. The two regroup in Lionel's office, and after agreeing that something has to be done about General Zod, who has possessed Lex's body, Lionel elects to return to the Kent Farm and find the dagger Clark received from Jor-El to stop Zod. With her leg injured in the riots, Chloe returns to the Daily Planet to try and decipher the Kryptonian symbols they believe will give them clues to defeat Zod.

Journalism and the Daily Planet

By the time Chloe arrives in Smallville, she is already an avid Daily Planet reader. In "X-Ray", Chloe explained that she joined the staff of The Torch when she was in junior high, and then became editor as a freshman (possibly because no one else wanted the job). Chloe's curiosity and overzealous nature means she often oversteps journalistic boundaries, but she shows promise as a reporter. An example of this is in "Leech", where Chloe received her first byline in the Smallville Ledger for writing an article on Eric "Superboy" Summers, a name she coined herself.

At the end of season two, Lionel Luthor strong-arms the Daily Planet into running a regular column by Chloe. In return, Chloe agrees to give Lionel all the information she can find about Clark Kent.

When Chloe meets Perry White, an inspiration and idol, in "Perry", he admits to her that Lionel has reduced him to tabloid TV journalism. Chloe mirrors his experience after Lionel blacklists her, but says she can use her cousin's name as a pseudonym to continue writing.

Later, Chloe returns to the Daily Planet as a freshman in college. She attempts to get her job back in "Thirst". The current editor-in-chief, Pauline Kahn initially refused to hire her back because Lionel Luthor had arm-twisted the Planet into giving Chloe a column she didn't earn, that she didn't deserve (and describes Chloe's previous columns as "juvenile pablum" and tells Chloe the staff ate cake the day Chloe got fired). But Chloe is given the fabled "Perry Chance", and brings Kahn a story about a Kryptonite strain of rabies that turned a sorority of Metropolis University students into parasitic "vampires". Kahn calls the article "tabloid nonsense", but believes Chloe may have some writing talent, and gives her a job at the bottom of the Daily Planet, working in the basement on the tipline.

Meteor freak

Ironically, Chloe had been obsessed with finding and exposing meteor freaks for much of her time in high school, only to eventually find out she is one. In the Season Six episode Freak, a metahuman with the power to sense Kryptonite-infected people detects Chloe as a meteor freak — Chloe initially hypothesizes that this is due to the abundance of Kryptonite she'd come into contact with since going to Smallville High, although it is later learned that this is an ability which she developed at a young age. Her mother has a Kryptonite power to control other meteor freaks if she's touching one of their possessions. We find out in the Season Six episode "Progeny" that she controlled Chloe when Chloe was young using one of Chloe's necklaces, thus showing that Chloe must have been infected since the first meteor shower, or around that time.

Family

Chloe moved to Smallville in the eighth grade when her father, Gabe, was transferred to LuthorCorp's Plant #3. When she was 5, Chloe thought her mother, Moira, abandoned her, but it is later revealed that her mother suffered from a mental illness and was institutionalized when Chloe was 12. In the sixth season episode "Progeny", it is revealed that the real reason Moira left was that she was infected by Kryptonite and has the power to control Chloe and any other meteor freak, and was scared for the safety of her daughter and husband.

Relationships

Clark Kent

Chloe and Clark Kent are close friends, but she has had a one-sided crush on Clark since they met. Clark was oblivious to this fact until psychic Ryan James read Chloe's mind and informed him during their freshman year of high school. When Chloe was kidnapped, Clark realized how much she meant to him and took her to a school dance. In the middle of the dance, there was a tornado warning, and Clark ran off to see if Lana was okay, effectively putting an end to the fledgling Clark/Chloe romance. For other uses, see Clark Kent (disambiguation). ...

For the first five seasons, Chloe kissed Clark a single time in each year of the series. That was not true in Season Six, though, when for the first time, Chloe gets a true boyfriend. In Season One, Chloe was hypnotized to do something she had always wanted to do, and in Season Two, she was infected with a parasite that caused her to do wild and impulsive things. In Season Three, Chloe and Clark were caught snooping through medical files and she began kissing him, making it seem like they were simply in the file room for privacy. In Season Four, she was affected by a love potion and became singularly devoted to Clark. She cornered him in his loft, wearing only his football jersey, and Clark had to ward off her advances until he found a cure. In Season Five, when Clark prepared to face the recently released General Zod, Chloe was afraid they might never see each other again and gave him a romantic goodbye kiss. As with the other kisses, this one did not lead to a romantic relationship between the two. However, once Clark returned he began to ask Chloe about the kiss. She told him that, "it was the end of the world. It's not like I'm expecting us to hook up." Clarks facial expression showed that he was upset and was obviously ready to start something new with Chloe.

Jimmy Olsen

Whatever her feelings for Clark, Chloe has gotten involved with other guys. She told Lana Lang in "Unsafe" that she lost her virginity a few years ago to a fellow intern at the Daily Planet, Jimmy, whom she describes as "very cute, in a bow-tie kind of way."

Powers and abilities

Throughout the majority of the series, Chloe was thought to be totally powerless. Her computer hacking skills and determined journalistic nature were her primary skills in aiding Clark against various threats, both human and metahuman. When using the technology at Oliver Queen's disposal, Chloe acted as "Watchtower" for Oliver's proto-Justice League, a role very similar to that of computer-savvy Oracle in the comics.

In season six, it is revealed that Chloe is a "meteor freak" — a human with a metagene activated by kryptonite. Chloe's power, described as "super-empathy" by Allison Mack in a CW Source interview hosted by Jason C., allows her to heal others by taking their pain and making it her own. This allows her to heal most injuries, including reviving the recently deceased, at the cost of her own well-being. Metahuman is a term to describe superhumans in the DC Universe. ...

Depending on the severity of the wound she heals, Chloe's body takes varying amounts of time to recover. For example, when she heals Jimmy Olsen's cut finger, her own finger develops the same cut. Using her ability to revive the dead shuts her body down, giving the outward appearance of death. This includes certain post-mortem symptoms such as rigor mortis. Her body then restores itself several hours later. When she first uses her power to cure Lois Lane, who had been stabbed, she is declared clinically dead for three hours. When healing Lex, who died of a gunshot wound to the head, she remains dead for eighteen hours. Her powers also seem to work defensively, as shown when Brainiac attempts to rewire her brain in the episode "Arctic".

Alternate versions

At one time, it was planned for Chloe to become a character in the DC Comics universe. According to Superman editor Matt Idelson the DC comics version of Chloe would be similar but at the same time different from the character on Smallville. “‘Our’ Chloe is clearly inspired by the Smallville character, right down to wanting to be a journalist, and being roughly the same age as the Smallville character. And she’s still Lois’ cousin. Beyond that, though, since she’s obviously a different age than Clark and Lois, she’s got to be her own, unique character," Idelson says.

According to writer Kurt Busiek, “The problem we'd have faced if we brought her in with the same background as the TV show is that she'd fill two basic roles -- the Girl from Back Home and the Reporter -- and those roles are both pretty solidly filled in the adult Superman cast, by Lana and Lois. So she's got to have a different spin, one that lets her occupy a different role from either of them. She's the younger sister of someone Clark went to school with, not a classmate of Clark's herself. As a result, she's the new intern at the Daily Planet, fresh out of journalism school and itching to make a name for herself. That'll make her clearly different from Lois and Lana, and at the same time more familiar to watchers of the show.” Busiek has also pointed out that this "Chloe" will not know Clark's secret, nor will she have super powers.^[10] Lana Lang is a supporting character in DC Comics Superman series. ...
