Appearances: S1: Obscura
Bio: Mike Birdego is a deputy with the Lowell County sheriff's department. In early 2002, after Chloe Sullivan had been kidnapped, he and his then-partner Deputy Watts had been assigned to the case. Thanks to a temporary psychic link brought on by a kryptonite-fueled gas explosion, Lana Lang had been able to see through the kidnapper's eyes, and had led Clark Kent to Chloe's location. However, the kidnapper had turned out to be Deputy Watts, who had been trying to make a name for himself by 'rescuing' Chloe. His plan foiled, Watts had then kidnapped Lana, intending to kill her and be the one to 'solve' her murder. Fortunately, thanks to a tip from Birdego, Clark had figured out that Lana was being held at some carnival grounds, where Watts had held a part-time job as a security guard. Clark had rescued Lana in time, but Deputy Watts had wound up dead in a shoot-out with authorities.
