Smallville Season 7

Kryptonian Descent

This season Clark Kent learned more about himself, his Kryptonian background, and his destiny than ever before. He battled the last phantom Bizarro, and released his Kryptonian cousin Kara from nineteen years in suspended animation.

Clark reunited with and started dating Lana Lang again. She divorced Lex and returned to Smallville. Lana began a non-profit organization with the intent to help meteor-infected individuals. However, Lana constantly battled conflicting feelings within herself, fueled by anger and hurt over her relationship with Lex. Lana fell victim to evil supercomputer Brainiac, who put her in a painful coma for several weeks. Upon waking, Lana left Smallville and Clark.

Lex learned about the existence of Veritas, based on the theory of the Traveler, a powerful being that would either save the world or destroy it. Lex relentlessly hunted the truth: he continued several controversial research projects and he purchased the Daily Planet to control information [citation needed], until it led him to eventually murder his father Lionel, who was simultaneously trying to protect the Traveler.

Chloe was able to master her mysterious meteor power, a form of empathic healing. Chloe's career also hit a bump with the hiring of new editor Grant Gabriel. Grant hired her cousin Lois Lane, but it was revealed that Grant was actually Lex Luthor's cloned brother. Chloe and Jimmy got back together, but Jimmy became entangled in Lex's machinations. When he refused to comply with Lex's demands, Lex had Chloe arrested for illegal hacking, and her fate remains unknown.

Clark also had to deal with the return of Brainiac, who revealed to Lex that Clark was the Traveler. Finally learning the truth about his former friend, Lex and Clark faced off in his Fortress of Solitude. Lex fulfilled his perceived destiny to destroy the Traveler and protect the Earth as the Fortress crumbled around them.
