Superman then awakens in the Fortress of Solitude. After some training with Jonathan, Clark becomes Kyle's best man. When Jonathan went to go save Cheryl Kimble from Hacksaw Kronick, Jordan alerts Clark and he becomes Superman. He defeats Kronick and has John take him in to the DOD.

Bizarro / Doomsday
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 Doomsday form) is a deformed version of Superman from Bizarro World who sports a tattered cape and a backward 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 to make him stronger, eventually turning him into a more monstrous form. Superman fought him in Smallville, Metropolis, and the Moon.
In season four, Bizarro in his Doomsday form continues his fight with Superman on the Moon. When it comes to the asteroid belt, Doomsday rips out Superman's heart where he leaves his body for the Kents and gives the heart to Lex Luthor. Doomsday is later dispatched to intimidate Sam Lane into giving the information on where Elizabeth Luthor is to Lex. Sam resists and Doomsday kills Sam. Using the same device, Lois draws Doomsday to her and successfully reasons with him by asking him to remember that he had a family and not to be Lex Luthor's pawn. Doomsday then leaves as Lex and Amanda McCoy find that Doomsday hasn't returned to his lair. Arriving at the Shuster Mines, Doomsday starts using his powers to break through to the tunnel leading back to his world. Lex Luthor arrives in the armor that Milton Fine stole from John Henry Irons and fires a special Kryptonite explosive at him despite Superman's interference. As Doomsday goes on a rampage in a now spikier appearance, Superman fights him again. After being taken down by John Henry Irons' hammer, Doomsday is carried to the Sun by Superman. With his humanity returning, Doomsday gestures Superman to put him out of his misery. Superman does that by pushing him into the Sun.

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.

Tal-Rho / Morgan Edge
Morgan Edge (portrayed by Adam Rayner; main: season 1; special guest: season 2; Jack Rehbein as a 10-year-old, Ben Cockell as a 19-year-old Tal-Rho) is an intelligent, eloquent and impassioned self-made mogul" and CEO of Edge EnerCorp who has taken an interest in Smallville, raising suspicion from Lois.[11] In Smallville, Edge's company Edge EnerCorp gains ownership of a mine that contains X-Kryptonite which he plans to use to continue experiments in an attempt to create a superpowered army. 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 and implant the consciousness of General Zod inside 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 involves placing a copy of Zeta-Rho into Jordan due to Jordan's Kryptonian powers. Superman and John are able to defeat Tal-Rho and remove Zeta-Rho from Jordan. Tal-Rho and Leslie are both placed in DOD custody.
In season two, Tal-Rho is kept in a special cell that has red solar lights. Superman visits him to see if there were side-effects to the Eradicator conscious due to the painful visions he has been experiencing. Tal-Rho mentions that he hasn't experienced them while also claiming that he lost his powers in the solar flare that Irons caused. When the vision happens again following a hostage crisis caused by Phillip Karnowski, Superman gives in to Tal-Rho's deal to make use of his lair as Jordan comes with Superman to keep an eye on Tal-Rho. As Tal-Rho activates the A.I. copy of Lara as she scans Superman, he starts to have the visions again as Jordan learns that Tal-Rho faked losing his powers. 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 General Mitchell 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 (the Lana Lang of the Inverse World) tried to kill him. Before Tal-Rho can ask who his wife was, they are attacked by Anderson who was powered with Project 7334 weapons and X-Kryptonite. When Anderson fires a Kryptonite gun at Superman, Tal-Rho jumps in front of him. As Anderson fights Bizarro, Superman uses his heat vision on the Kryptonite shards and flies 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 has Tal-Rho released so that he can help destroy Ally Allston's pendant, and makes amends with Lois. During this plan in an active volcano, Superman and Tal-Rho are ambushed by Ally. With help from John, Superman and Tal-Rho fend Ally off and destroy the pendant. Though Tal-Rho flees, he later returns to help Superman regain his powers so that he can defeat Ally. Once Ally is defeated, Tal-Rho uses his "Uncle Tal" alias to send Jonathan and Jordan two trucks as a sign of apology, and relocates to the Inverse World to start life anew as he starts to learn from a bartender who his wife was.
- Adam Rayner also portrays Tal-Rho's Bizarro counterpart who was on good terms with Bizarro and was named by a magazine to be an eligible bachelor.

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.
