POI-Smallville Crossover Fusion Background information
Some information on the POI Smallville fusion universe.
Starts somewhere around Season 1 of Smallville. But since I like happy endings, in this Smallville universe our main characters get to remain BFFs and live out their legendary friendship. Also Papa Kent wises up and realizes the young Luthor is nothing like his father (which is easy since in this universe he never goes all dark side). Needless to say, will only be as canon compliant with Smallville as I remember the series and as I feel like making it. For example, in this universe Lionel Luthor is already dead (because he is a big meany and I didn’t feel like writing him).
So how our POI characters shape up in this Smallville fusion if I get around to working them in:
Harold Alexander Luthor
(Harold Finch=Lex Luthor): billionaire genius sent to Smallville to run the Luthorcorp factory. Since I couldn’t picture a bald Harold, in this universe he never lost his hair following the meteor shower (it just got a little staticky and tends to stick up and be unruly)
John Clark Kent
(John Reese=Clark Kent): the last son of Krypton who crashed to earth in Smallville and has been raised by the Kents. He has been aware he is an alien for some time, but doesn’t have his powers under full control.
Nathan Kent
(Nathan Ingram=Jonathan Kent): Smallville farmer who found a young John and adopted him. Tried to instill in him his morals about Truth, Justice, and the American Way. Was screwed over by Lionel Luthor in the past and so has a grudge against all things Luthor.
Carter Sullivan
(Joss Carter=Chloe Sullivan): Friend of John’s but doesn’t know his secret (although she suspects something is up with him). Crusading reporter for the school paper. Has been keeping track of some of the strange goings on in Smallville on her Wall of Weird.
Lionel Fusco
(?): a Smallville meteor mutant. Originally was using his meteor powers for his own gain, but reformed when Harold and John helped him out of a tricky situation. Now he helps them when needed. Knows John isn’t normal either but doesn’t know he is an alien.
Cara Lane
(Cara Stanton=Lois Lane): ambitious reporter looking for a scoop to propel her into the big time (sorry Lois Lane fans, but Kara Lane will be a bit bitchier than usual due to being played by Stanton. Mostly because I thought I might need another antagonist for our guys. However, she wont be quiet as evil as POI Stanton. )
Jessica Arndt
(Jessica Arndt=Lana Lang): John’s crush since forever. However, since I stink at writing romance they probably will never do more than make googly eyes at each other and maybe hold hands.
Carl Elias
(? Lucas Dunlevy? No real Smallville equivalent, I just wanted him in here): illegitimate son of Lionel Luthor. Fathered when Lionel was much younger so Harold’s older half brother. Blames Lionel for abandoning his mother and him and for causing his mother’s death by refusing to help her when she became gravely ill, leading to Carl’s unhappy childhood in the system. Obsessed with taking over his father’s business and proving himself to be even more successful. Has an ambivalent relationship with Harold, his rival for the Luthor legacy, but also his only living family member (family is important to Carl as he felt deprived of it for most of his life)
The Machine
: the AI at John’s Fortress of Solitude in the arctic.
So, stories in this fusion would start in Smallville, but might also mention time in Metropolis when John and the others go to college, or comment about his future as Superman
