Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Fanfic Related Need a bad guy

I'm playing with an idea at the moment. Not sure it will come together, but... if I do pursue it, I'm going to need the names all the bad guys, living or dead (in the Lois and Clark universe) who found out that Clark was Superman.

I'm looking for a villian.

Of course, the first one who leaps to mind is Jason Trask.

And didn't he have henchmen? But I don't think they knew that CK=S.

There was also Tempus, the Superman clone (although then he turned good), Diana Stride, Nigel St John and Jason Mazik, Spencer Spencer, Luthor (before he dies the second time), Leslie Luckabee and Mr Smith aka Lex Luthor Jnr and Mxyzptlk.

That's all I can think of. Quite a few though. His secret's not so secret after all.

If Jason Mazik is the guy that kidnapped Clark's parants at the end of season 2 finale and made him rob a bank and freeze Lois, than I apologize for repeating that villain.

I'm not sure if it counts because he was kryptonian, but there was Lord Nor, and he was definitely a villain

I think Jaenelle (LOVE that name by the way!) got most of them.

Mayson was always a villan in my book. LOL

I was always of the opinion that as soon as any villian discovered The Secret it was like a death sentence had been handed down to them.

Baron Sunday is another bad guy who knew Clark's secret. Does a not quite dead guy count?

What about that guy who now resides in his daughter's chihauhua? I forget his name. But he traded souls with Clark for a while and terrorized Lois, among other things.

@Aria - that would be Woody Samms. Good spotting, I'd forgotten about him.

Thanks, everyone. Lots of ideas to play with there. I think there are even a few bad guys I've never played with before. Also, the mention of Diana Stride made me think of her assistant... what's-his-face. He knew Clark's secret, too.

Gotta let my mind stew on those ideas for a while to see if something clicks.

Thanks,

Also, not a bad guy, but Star could have known. Clark had told her, when hypnotized, that his name was Kal-El. When he was in court as Superman, he gave that name. If she put two and two together, she would get CK=S.

Finally, IIRC, most of Smallville would have had to have known after the NK story arc. Nor very publicly tells Clark, who is dressed as *Clark*, not as Superman, "I want your throne, Kal El." The few Smallvillians(?!) who hadn't been present would undoubtedly have found out about it from those who were. So if you wanted to create your own villain, you could make them a citizen of Smallville.

I must say that Clark's alter ego is one of the worst kept secrets there is. And the fact that it isn't universally known in the L&C universe is another of those instances where you have to suspend a lot of disbelief.

Joy,

I think there was at least one henchman in the van when Clark told Trask that he is Superman - and Clark broke out pretty soon after using his superhuman strength, so you could make something up here.

Btw, where do you put Sam Lane?
