The Villain made no sense

[MBCorp]

Was it just me or was this one of the absolute worst SV villains yet? I mean, his motivations and actions were so cloudy and contrived that it was almost laughable.

Well he worked for corporations or groups that would hire him to dispense of people. And I guess he wanted to kill Lex because he hates being indebted to someone. Yeah i guess his motives were lame. I thought he was an alright actor. I knew the plot would be lame anyway. But did you see that preview of Oracle?

Are you joking???? He was fine compared to other SV villians. If you want really bad ones go back to season 1.

Yup, the preview of Oracle was great and was the only time that I wasn't falling asleep during this episode.

Oh my god, that was Lex? I couldn't tell who it was. I wonder why he's in a bag?

I think it has something to do with Zod. That was ominous though when Clark said "Zod is coming".

I thought this Chameleon had the same abilities and on the same Wanted list as on Spider-man stories. Not sure about the name Graham though, but I figured it possibly could be a reference to the same villain.

Otherwise, with how much the writers have borrowed from other stories, they could have just said it was another villain who can make himself invisible, not necessarily calling him "Chameleon"

Clark said 'Zod is coming' ??!!? Good grief, I didn't even catch that! Man, I need to rewatch that trailer.

That's what I was thinking too. TPTB are the masters of plagiarism.

At least the villians are starting to get names... more transitions to being a superhero with supervillians...

I thought it was Zod in the bag. He looked like he was being reborn or something or maybe coming out of the PZ. But if it was Lex, I wonder why he's in a bag?

[lanakk1]

the whole storyline didn't make sense

Probably to avoid exposure to the virus he's making (hence a bubble type bag). That's my educated guess. I'd rather not hear any spoilers.

I didn't get the villain at all, but to be honest, I could have cared less.

[xrayvision]

I was yelling at the TV for him to use his x-ray vision as he did with the guy in Shimmer.

The was okay.. a bit simple ..this episode was okay because it just highlighted that Clark has to save the good and the bad.

Again it's Chloe teaching Clark about right and wrong and helping people. Stuff he should know just as normal person let alone superman.

i understand but the people he usually saves aren't potential villians. And in Metroplolis he's out of his comfort zone. I don't think he's given much thought to the whole save first ask ques later as Chloe said until now. not that he's never questioned hisself its just facing the fact that saving some folks may cause a ripple effect right back to him.

Sadly, it's another case of Clark needing to relearn an old lesson. Hereafter dealt with this exact same situation. By saving Coach Altman in that episode, Clark unknowingly put Lana, Megan, and Jordan (the FotW) in mortal danger. Clark even discusses that issue with Martha at the end of the episode.

EDIT: That discussion with Chloe makes even less sense since Clark has saved Lionel on at least three occassions (i.e., Talisman and Vengeance, and Mercy) knowing he's not the most upstanding citizen.

I don't know about the wanted list, but the abilities were not the same. Marvel's Chameleon is a master of disguise and has a blank, white, featureless face. Originally he used masks, but I guess now he has a malleable face that can take on the likeness of any face he chooses via electrical signals emitted from a computer on his belt. Either way, he is not able to become invisible that I know of.

They certainly did steal the name "Chameleon" for this episode of Smallville though, and Marvel's Chameleon also had someone save his life as a part of his backstory.
