@loislane356: Post 10 // clois edit // my fav couple // hastags: #edit #clois #smallville #lois #clark Clark Kent is a fictional character and the central protagonist of the television series Smallville (2001–2011), based on the iconic DC Comics superhero Superman. Created for television by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, this specific version of the character was portrayed by actor Tom Welling. As a fictional character, Clark Kent in Smallville serves as a modern, live-action reimagining of the classic Superman mythos. Instead of focusing on his adult life as a caped hero, the writers created this character to explore the "untold history" of his youth. The fictional narrative tracks his development from an awkward, insecure teenager in high school to a young journalist at the Daily Planet, focusing entirely on the psychological and emotional journey of a boy discovering he is not human before he ever puts on the famous red-and-blue suit.
