Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Fanfic Related FFQ: who knew Clark's secret?

In the series, how many people learned Clark's secret and lived? I can remember these: HG Wells, Zara and Ching (all the new Kryptonians), Tempus, Diana Stride, Rolf, Jason Mazic. I'm not counting Lois's parents because they forgot again.

Yes, I can go back and count, but if someone already knows the answer, it would save me time that could be better spent writing.

Thanks.

It's debatable, Sheila, but don't forget Jack from Season 1. The writers left it vague, but there's enough evidence to build a very convincing case that he knows.

It's also possible to speculate, though on much flimsier ground, that Perry knew. He was far too accepting of many things he'd have had a right to complain about if he hadn't known, and he didn't become editor of a great metropolitan newspaper because he knew how to yodel. Didn't Lane Smith say at one point that he liked to play Perry as if he knew but wasn't saying?

I can't think of anyone else.

Actually, I thought that Jason Mazic died from poisoning...

I think Jack suspected.

It was Nigel St John that died from poisoning. Considering that he was working with Jason Mazic, he had to have known, as well -- but not until they teamed up in ATAI, and since Mazic poisoned him, he doesn't count in your list.

Lex Luthor and Spencer Spence?

Okay, so I wasn't just braindead when I couldn't think of any others immediately. I'll add Jack to my list because the show made it pretty clear he guessed.

Spencer Spencer died with the doctor and nurse, didn't he? But the two henchmen lived on, and I always wondered about them. Then again, their combined IQ wouldn't have been enough to get them off the island.

Lex died, but we resurrected him for S5 and S6 and Phil did an admirable job of finally finishing him off. Lex Jr. (the troll) and Leslie Luckabee knew, but both of them died, didn't they?

That ought to do me--Lois probably wouldn't remember more than that when she's idly thinking about it.

Thanks, folcs.

D'oh! you are so right, Nan, as always.


There is possibly one other, the man driving the van away after Clark bursts out of it in GGGoH.

What about the Smart Kids? They knew - maybe.

There was also the daughter of that con man that switched bodies with Clark in S4. Didn't her father tell her before he was killed/transferred to a cat?

No. He quite carefully did NOT tell her. (And it was a small dog.)

But he did, technically, live after learning the secret. Although I don't think he is going to be telling anyone.

Except maybe Doctor Doolittle.

Yeah, I would think the driver of the van in Green...Glow of Home had to have known. Clark is chained in the back and then wham the doors are kicked off. He had to have known. I always wondered why he didn't say anything unless he wasn't as committed to the cause of Trask and was hoping to deny he was there if caught.

That would be an interesting story to write (if I could write) of his knowing and collecting evidence of 39's nasty work and eventually turning it over to Lois and Clark to finally bring the Bureau down in exchange for their help in his disappearance.

Oh Wayne his parents neighbor probably knew - for one he knew Trask was looking for Superman at the Kent farm. Then his parents and Wayne were all tied together and Clark runs in and says Superman is back - quitely - but I think Wayne had to have heard as close as they all were. But again he knew Clark all is life so would never say anything.
