  • Smallville's Fallout

    Fallout/Smallville Mashup

    While I was waiting for Fallout 4 to come out, it occurred to me that it might be a fun creative exercise to picture what the Smallville characters' lives might be like in the Fallout universe. I may write a fanfic on this one day, but for now I'm just going to list all the characters and think about how much they might change as characters who had to survive in the harsh world of Fallout.


    1. The Kents-- During the 50's when the war was raging, Hiram Kent and his wife were just a poor couple living on a small farm... as an result they were considered expendable by the government of Kansas. So thus they were not given an invitation to safely live their lives inside a underground shelter called an Vault when the nuclear bombs went off.
      The Kents were forced to raise their newborn son Jonathan outside in an highly irradiated world. It wasn't all bad though.... lucky for them the bombs didn't hit too close to their farm, so they were able to live there and grow food without fear of radiation poisoning. They still had to deal with bandits, and other looters though.
      When Jonathan were a teenager they saved the lives of a family called the Clarks, who had been fleeing from a highly irritated Metropolis and the ghouls who lived there. The Clarks had a daughter named Martha Clark, and Jonathan Kent fell in love with her at first sight. The Clarks were grateful to the Kents, and had no objections to the union between Jonathan and Martha. But then tragedy struck both families. The Fallout from the nuclear bombs had finally reached their land. Both Jonathan and Martha's parents all died from radiation poisoning, and shortly afterwards they both discovered that the radiation poisoning had also affected their reproductive abilities. They couldn't have children naturally without it becoming a deformed stillborn. So Jonathan and Martha resigned themselves to a life alone without children, until one day a mysterious rocket ship carrying a baby fell from the sky.....

    2. The Luthors were a very political family, and rich as well. As an result they were able to bribe their way into a Vault underground shelter close to Metropolis before the bombs went off. But what they didn't know at the time that they had chosen the worst possible vault of them all to raise their children in.
      Officially, the Vaults were designed for the sole purpose of sheltering up to one thousand individuals in the event of a nuclear holocaust; however, in reality, they were part of a series of secret experiments orchestrated by the united states government. Each Vault often had a bizarre experiment that no other vault did. For instance, Vault 19 was segregated into two groups, Red and Blue. The groups lived in separate sections of the vault and the inhabitants may have been chosen due to pre-existing paranoia. The purpose of that experiment was to study the effects Paranoia had on human beings. Vault 21 purpose was gambling, reinforced by having only compulsive gamblers admitted as vault residents, and with all conflicts within the vault to be resolved through gambling. It is one of the few non-control vaults that didn't end in failure. Vault 68, Of the one thousand people who entered, there was only one woman. Vault 69, Of the one thousand people who entered, there was only one man. Anyway, you should get the idea just what kind of twisted stuff went on in those vaults.
      Vault 166, The one that the Luthors entered, had a very cruel and unusual experiment that started the minute the vault doors closed for good. Put simply, this experiment was a study on how sociopath and anti-social behavior developed in human beings... so the goal was to raise children into sociopathic adults and study their behavior.
      So Lachlan And Eliza Luthor were forced to do nothing but watch in quiet horror as their son Lionel were successfully raised to be a sociopath by the Vault's overseer. When Lionel Luthor murdered his own parents to advance though the ranks, the other vault dwellers lauded his actions as being the ideal once they found out what he had done. It was enough to catch the eye of Lillian, who wanted a man who were just as twisted as she was.
      So this was the dark and twisted environment that Lex Luthor was born into.


      So what do you guys think? Figuring out what Smallville itself might be like after an fallout.

    I don't know anything about Fallout but a Smallville mashup sounds intriguing

      The Fallout Universe basically just takes place after 50's America had their nuclear war... So everything's nuked to hell, save for a few survivors. It sounds depressing, but it actually can be a comedic sort of game as you're a survivor who's exploring the wastelands... that is, if you play it as a crazy survivalist. It pokes fun at the cold war mentality, etc.

      All of the games aren't connected story-wise... each Fallout game, from the original fallout to Fallout: New Vegas, all have their own separate storylines which makes it easy to just pick a game depending on what you like and play it as a new character.
      It also makes it easy to invent a whole new storyline, like putting the Smallville crew into this setting, without worrying too much about Fallout Canon.

      It's like, It's everyone you know but in a apocalyptic setting. What's not to get?

      Anyway I'm writing a short chapter on Lex Luthor's life in the fallout, and then the Kents then. Then I'll focus on Lois Lane, etc.
