Appearances: S1: Pilot
Bio: Jeremy Creek is a 'meteor freak', so called because he'd derived his powers from the 1989 Smallville meteor shower. In 1989, while a freshman at Smallville High, some football players had stripped him down to his boxers, painted a red 'S' on his chest, and strung him up in a field like a scarecrow. Lex Luthor, then nine years old, had stumbled upon him, just as the meteor shower had struck the town. As a result, Jeremy had suffered a "massive electrolyte imbalance," and fallen into a coma. In 2001, an electrical storm had hit the hospital he'd been in, and he'd awoken, unchanged over the past twelve years. Finding he could channel electricity, he had sought out the jocks who'd tormented him in high school, and had used his newfound power to take revenge. However, after he'd seen Clark Kent also strung up like a scarecrow, Jeremy had realized that the hazing tradition was never going to stop, and had decided to electrocute everyone at their high school's homecoming dance. Fortunately, Clark had managed to get free of his bonds, and had stopped Jeremy. The two had fought, and Jeremy had wound up electrocuted in water, aging him twelve years and leaving him with no memory of how he'd gotten there.
