15 DC Superheroes Smallville Teased (But Never Used)

:0:0

Smallville includes many DC superheroes, but some are teased without making major appearances. Smallville tells the origin story of the young Clark Kent (Tom Welling), who discovers that he is actually an alien refugee named Kal-El. Over Smallville's 10-season run, Clark learns about his Kryptonian heritage and hones his powers, eventually developing the ability to fly and becoming the hero known as Superman and inspiring many fellow humans to become heroes themselves.
While primarily a show focused on the heroic journey of the young Clark Kent becoming Superman, Smallville is full of other DC heroes, with Clark even being one of the founding members of the show's version of the Justice League. With Smallville so steeped in DC Comics mythology, many other heroes are referenced or make minor appearances on the show without properly appearing. These characters include some of Superman's most well-known allies.
