	~~A "young Superman" TV~~ series that ~~originally aired from~~ 2001 ~~to present~~.		Ongoing American television series that began in 2001. Filmed in Vancouver.

			''Smallville'' follows the adventures of Clark Kent before he became [[Superman]], of [[Lex Luthor]] before he became Superman's nemesis, and of their families and friends. The main setting is the town of Smallville, where the meteor shower that accompanied Clark's arrival to [[Earth]] has left a legacy of "meteor freaks" -- people transformed by the effects of [[kryptonite]] meteorites in the area around Smallville, who conveniently often serve as super-powered villains of the week for Clark to battle.

			== Characters ==

			When the series begins, Clark Kent (Tom Welling) is a high school student, and Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) a young man who has arrived in Smallville to work for his father, Lionel Luthor, a powerful business executive.

			The main female characters in the series are [[Lana Lang]] (Kristin Kreuk), whose parents were killed by the meteors, [[Chloe Sullivan]] (Allison Mack), a budding investigative reporter, and [[Martha Kent]] (Annette O'Toole), Clark's adoptive mother, a farmer and businesswoman. [[Lois Lane]] (Erica Durance) joins the cast in a later season.

			Sam Jones III played Pete Ross, the one character of colour who was a series regular, from 2001 to 2004. (Kristin Kreuk is Eurasian, but her character is coded as White.)

			The series has drawn repeated criticisms for its portrayal of Lana Lang as a perpetual [[damsel in distress]] and idealised [[love interest]], defined by her relationships to male characters and by Clark Kent's pining for her, complicated by his secrecy about his origins and his abilities. Lana's aunt and adoptive parent, Nell Lang (Sarah-Jane Redmond), was quickly written out of the series.
