When she was three years old, Lana saw her parents, Lewis and Laura Lang, struck and killed by a meteor during the 1989 meteor shower that hit Smallville. She became the poster child for the disaster, her cry of anguish captured forever on the cover of Time Magazine. Her aunt, Nell Potter, adopted her and she wore a piece of the meteor that killed her parents as a necklace in their memory. Ever since then, she lived a mile away from the Kent farm.

Season One
''"Statistical fact, Clark Kent can't get within five feet of Lana Lang without turning into a total freak show." – Chloe, to Pete, Pilot'' Growing up, Lana lived a mile away from the Kents and was admired from afar by her neighbor Clark Kent for years. When they reached high school, Clark gained the courage to get to know her.Initially, Lana dated Whitney Fordman and wore a meteor rock necklace, preventing Clark Kent from coming near her without feeling its effects. Clark's feelings for her grew, and a tentative friendship blossomed and she became an important part in his circle of friends. However, Lana continued to date Whitney. Their relationship caused tension between Clark and Whitney. Noticing their friendship, Whitney suspected Clark's feelings for Lana, which led Whitney and his friends to make Clark the traditional freshman "scarecrow." Lana found out about this and felt sorry for Clark.

Despite her relationship with Whitney, Lana grew closer to Clark and even nearly kissed before they were interrupted by her Aunt Nell. Lana often found herself in danger, with Clark regularly coming to her rescue, although she was not always aware of this. Nevertheless, their relationship grew and when Ryan James, a telepathic boy, came to Smallville, he tried to tell Clark what Lana thought of him, but Clark said he didn't want to know because he would rather find out himself.

As Clark began to lose hope of a relationship with Lana, he became closer to Chloe Sullivan. However, when Whitney decided to become a Marine, Lana and Whitney parted and Whitney relied on Clark to take care of her. While Lana dropped Whitney off for the bus out of Smallville, Clark went to the Spring Formal with Chloe, which Lana seemed a little jealous of. However, when Clark heard that three tornadoes were heading to Smallville, he became worried for Lana's safety. Making his priorities clear, he abandoned Chloe and super-sped to save Lana, as a tornado sucked her truck up.

Season Two
''"Just remember, you can't hide out here forever." – Lana, to Clark, Vortex''

Lana really wanted to know how Clark saved her during the tornado, but Clark evaded her questions. Lana expressed hope that they might become closer someday, which triggered Clark's newly-developed heat vision, causing him to nearly burn down the Talon.

Lana was annoyed again with Clark's secretiveness when he wouldn't share with her his problem with Pete. Also, while under the influence of red kryptonite, Clark showed his true feelings by kissing Lana for the first time, but then he danced with Jessie Brooks and almost kissed her in front of Lana.Lana was both shocked and engaged by their first kiss, but her feelings for Clark quickly changed after witnessing his fickle nature.

They were able to be just friends for a while, but when Whitney died, Lana decided that she didn't care if Clark had secrets, and they were a little more than friends until Clark became infected with red kryptonite again and Lana walked in on Clark and Chloe kissing in the Talon. Clark tried to apologize and applied for a job at the Talon but he didn't last long, as he was too busy saving people, making Lana realize he wasn't reliable. Nevertheless, Lana wanted to remain close to Clark and started boarding Whitney's horse at the Kent Farm so that they could see each other every day. After she was assaulted and rescue by Clark in the Talon, Lana decided to take karate lessons with Lex.

Their relationship finally came together the night of Clark's birthday. In the morning, Clark tried to get Lana to up their status from friendship but she declined because she was scared that what happened to Whitney would happen to him. During Lex and Helen Bryce's rehearsal dinner, he gave a speech for Lex and Helen, but was in fact aiming it at himself and Lana, which managed to convince Lana to embrace their love for each other. They kissed, but the next day, their relationship fell apart when Martha Kent was injured and lost her baby, which Clark blamed himself for and decided to leave Smallville. He invited Lana, but she insisted that Smallville was her home and his too; with a quick reply of "not anymore," Clark rode out of Smallville and her life.

Season Three
''"We're not together anymore, and that was your choice." – Lana, to Clark, Magnetic''

Lana eventually found Clark in Metropolis. However, as Clark was infected with red kryptonite again, Lana was disgusted and confused by the way he was living, and how he was treating everyone else's feelings with complete disregard. Clark returned to Smallville, but he didn't believe Lana could love the parts of him that he kept secret. Clark's fear that Lana might reject him caused him to put their attempts of a romantic relationship behind him. Lana, in turn, tried to reassure him that she would care for him no matter what, asking Clark for a second chance. She confided in Martha that she hoped Clark would open up to her one day.

Lana persisted with her friendship to Clark and helped him solve the mystery of her great-aunt Louise McCallum's death. Clark then realized that his love for Lana was somewhat parallel to his biological father Jor-El's love for Lana's great-aunt. Like his father, (Clark loved a female member of Lana's family and ended up not being with them.)

When Lana met Seth Nelson, she decided that she couldn't wait around for Clark and quickly embarked on a relationship with Seth, which Clark quickly became jealous of. When Seth proved himself to be a psychotic meteor freak, Lana apologized to Clark but when he got Lana involved with Lex's mental breakdown and she nearly got killed, she decided that knowing Clark was too dangerous and decided to call it quits. When Clark was blinded and became concerned for his father's health, he and Lana reached out to each other again, resulting in a kiss. Lana was upset and disappointed that she kept getting left in limbo about her future with Clark.Although she wanted to believe that Clark could change, she admitted that she was losing faith and decided to put an end to any further potential romance.

Nevertheless, Clark invited Lana for dinner at his house to tell her about his powers in the hope that she would reconsider having a relationship with him. When he realized how difficult it was for Pete to deal with his secret, he changed his mind and didn't tell Lana, further frustrating her. He planned to take her to the airport, but when another crisis made him late, Lex met her at the airport instead. Seeing Lex hug her goodbye, a jealous Clark left without saying goodbye, although Lana briefly spotted him through the crowd.

Season Four
''"That is Lana Lang, the love of your life." – Chloe, to Clark, Blank'' During her time away from Smallville, Lana started a relationship with Jason Teague, who then became the assistant.football coach at Smallville High School. When Lana returned, Clark was happy to see her again but when he discovered Lana's relationship with Jason, he was shocked and, after that, they had a very strained relationship. When Lana and Jason split up, Clark and Lana became closer again. They shared a dance at the prom and, when Clark lost his memory, Lana was keen to restart their relationship when Clark promised this time it would be different. However, when his memory returned, Lana was left disappointed again. Nevertheless, they assumed the role of parents when they found a baby in a field and took care of it together. Before the second meteor shower they declared their love for each other and said goodbye, preparing for the worst.

Season Five
''"I want our first time to be as special as you are." – Clark, to Lana, Mortal''

Clark visited Lana in the hospital after the meteor shower, and was keen to discuss their declaration of love the last time they saw each other. Suspecting that Lana didn't mean what she said, Clark shrugged off Lana's comments, but she insisted she meant every word. This led them to embark on their first adult relationship with each other. When Clark lost his powers, he felt he could embrace the relationship and they lost their virginity to each other.

When Clark died and came back with his powers restored, things weren't the same between him and Lana. He was afraid he would hurt her, and they grew apart. Clark tried to make up for this by telling Lana about his powers, which to their engagement. However, Lex jealously chased her in his car after an argument and she was killed in a car accident. Desperate to save Lana and realizing that it was his secret that caused her death, Clark turned back time and decided not to tell her. This frustrated Lana and she decided they needed to take a break.

When Clark's adoptive father Jonathan Kent died, Lana felt that Clark needed her and they got back together. Soon after that, Clark was hypnotized by Simone and broke up with Lana. After the spell was broken, Lana tried to mend things with Clark, but he decided he didn't like lying to her and broke up with her. He lied to her by telling her he didn't love her anymore. This seemed to put an end to their relationship for good.

Season Six
''"Lana, we should be together; I want this more than I have ever wanted anything, and I know you do, too." – Clark, to Lana, Promise''

Lana quickly started a new relationship with Lex, and became pregnant with Lex's child. Despite her anger with Clark, when Lex proposed to her, Lana had reservations since she still had feelings for Clark. She gave Clark a final chance to make amends, but when he found out she was pregnant, Clark decided to let her go, much to her disappointment.

When Clark was taken over by a phantom and trapped in his mind, the phantom tried to use Lana to take over Clark's body, making him realize his feelings for her. While under the influence of red kryptonite, Clark kidnapped Lana and told Lana not to marry Lex but marry him instead. Frustrated that he chose now to admit his feelings, Lana rejected Clark's advances. Nevertheless, her intrigue over Clark's secret kept her close to Clark and, when she received death threats, she hid from the stalker in Clark's bedroom and took the opportunity to look for any clues to the truth about Clark. When Clark saved her life, he let her know that he had been watching over her for the same reason she had been watching him.

Lana believed that Clark might be meteor-infected and proved her allegiance to Clark when she protected what she thought was Clark's secret from Tobias Rice, a meteor freak who could identify other meteor freaks. Lana finally found out Clark's secret on her wedding day by witnessing Clark's powers from a hiding place. At the same time, Clark realized that he had to tell Lana about his feelings for her. After kissing Clark and telling him she'll meet him at the barn at 5:00pm, Lionel Luthor found out Lana's intention to stand Lex up and promised he would kill Clark if she didn't marry Lex. Lana's love for Clark made her protect him by keeping her promise to Lex.

Clark was devastated that she had gone through with the wedding. A week later, Lana collapsed and suffered a miscarriage. Subsequent tests showed that she had never been pregnant, and the doctor accused Lana of taking synthetic hormones to simulate a pregnancy to get Lex to marry her. However, it became clear that she was not happy in her marriage after Lana learned that Lex had faked her pregnancy. Angry over what had been done to her, she was going to leave Lex trapped in a caved in tunnel until she learned that Clark was with him. Clark and Lana soon found their way back to one another, when Lana met Clark at his barn and told him she was leaving Lex, and Smallville, to escape. Clark told her his secret in an attempt to get her to stay, but she only kissed him and admitted she already knew. Soon after, Lana was apparently killed when her car exploded. After learning of Lana's death, Clark become very emotional and wanted revenge for the woman he loved.

Season Seven
''"I need you. But the world needs you more and as long I'm in your life, I'm holding you back. Please, don't come after me. I love you, Clark Kent. More than you will ever know." – Lana, to Clark, Arctic''

Clark continued to mourn for Lana while trying to defeat Bizarro. Later, Lana was revealed to be alive, as she confessed that she had tried to set Lex up for her murder. On her return to Smallville, she immediately visited Clark's loft, much to his surprise and delight. Clark and Lana both decided to forget their past mistakes and try to pursue their relationship again.

When Ben Meyers attempted to kill Lana so Clark could fulfill his destiny, Lana began to think that she may be holding Clark back but Clark insisted that she was all he ever wanted. Sometime later, Lana opened the Isis Foundation and asked Chloe to keep the foundation a secret from Clark. While Lana's secrets piled up, Clark told Lana one of his biggest secrets: He was hiding Kara's blue crystal.

During a romantic afternoon with Clark, Lana received Clark's powers when lightning struck while she was near a piece of kryptonite. Lana doesn't have to try very hard to convince Clark that they could probably make super-powered love now that they are on "an equal playing field." This actually causes slight seismic activity across Smallville due to the sheer forces involved in making "super-powered" love. But She became corrupted by her newfound powers, and used them in a violent and vengeful way. At the same time, Lionel told Clark that Lana was the one who had him held captive in a cabin, and Clark and Chloe discovered Lana's secret surveillance room in the Isis Foundation. After she was de-powered, Lana questioned if Clark would love her no matter what, but Clark didn't reply. It gradually became clear to Clark that Lana was no longer the girl he fell in love with. Lara-El, Clark's Kryptonian birth mother, could also see the darkness inside her and told Lana to fight it.

Lana began to wonder if she deserved Clark and if she was at the point where she couldn't rebound from her darkness. Nevertheless, when "Clark" supposedly returned from the Fortress of Solitude, their relationship seemed to be back on track. Lana noted that Clark had never been so open before. Unaware that she was actually dating Bizarro, Lana enjoyed living with the new Clark. She ignored Chloe's warnings and even planned to leave Smallville with him. When the real Clark eventually came home, Lana was in denial at first. Clearly happier with Bizarro, she and Clark grew very distant. Clark was outraged that Lana didn't know him as well as he thought. He eventually confronted her over their relationship issues, and Lana admitted it was easier living with Bizarro. Clark still felt like Lana wanted him to be somebody else, while Lana felt like it was impossible to live up to Clark's standards. Later, Lana packed her bags and was preparing to stay with Chloe, but Clark and Lana both decided that they didn't want their relationship to end.

Lana eventually grew intimate with Clark again. She helped Clark and Chloe research Project Intercept and covered Clark's secret from an amnesiac Kara. When Clark was abducted, Lana worked with Chloe to rescue Clark, and even threatened to kill Lex if he caused Clark any harm. Lana was later attacked by Brainiac and left in a catatonic state. Clark was heartbroken when he went to see her, receiving a devastating message from Brainiac, saying that he was "too late." After Clark defeated Brainiac, Lana awoke from her coma. She left a message for Clark on a DVD, telling him that they were not meant to be together, as the world needed him more, but she made sure that Clark knew that she loved him, more than he would ever know.

Months of Training
"I want to be invincible." - Lana Lang to Carter (Power)

"I'm not training you, to be like someone else. I'm training you to be Lana Lang. To rise from the ashes of your previous life, stronger, more powerful, fearless. It's time to rise." - Carter to Lana Lang (Power)

"Well, before you fly off to change the world, I've got something for you. Take this so you'll always remember: As you rise higher and higher, never look down." - Carter to Lana Lang(Power)

After Lana awoke from the coma that Brainiac induced, she was then immediately kidnapped by Tess Mercer on Lex's orders. Shortly afterward, Lana overpowered her kidnappers and escaped. However, she was resolved to be in control of her life and no longer be a victim of her circumstances, so she decided to leave Smallville and on go a training quest, to prepare herself both mentally and physically to wear the Prometheus suit and stop Lex from gaining its powers.

Her journey took her to Edge City, where she found Carter Bowfry, a former military teacher, whom she knew could teach her the specialized skills that she needed. Even though Carter was impressed that Lana was able to track him down, he was reluctant to help her, even when she offered to pay him whatever he wanted. He told her that he didn't need her money and even tried to deny who he was, telling her that he was just a retired teacher living off his pension. But Lana had done her homework and told him that she knew that he was a military teacher, who trained soldiers and Green Berets to ignore pain and she wanted him to teach her everything he knew. Carter was both surprised and impressed that Lana was able to find out his true identity, but he was still hesitant because he thought that Lana wouldn't be able to handle the training. Carter finally conceded when she assured him that she is a lot tougher than she looks and that by helping her, he'll also be helping the world. Carter agreed to train her to overcome pain and torture with mental willpower.

Carter began by putting Lana through a grueling training regiment, something she initially couldn't handle, leading Carter to provoke and challenge her, which resulted in motivating Lana to succeed. Her training regiment also included learning to endure and survive extremely cold temperatures and withstanding the pain of fire. He also taught her to let go of Clark and not put him on a pedestal anymore. She eventually accepted that she didn't need to be like Clark, she just needed to do this for herself. Carter trained her for several months in which she learned to ignore pain which combined with her combat skills, making her a more formidable person.

Although Lana was grateful for everything Carter had taught her, for her to finally complete her transformation she needed powers that she will need to do her job more effectively and fight superpowered villains. Carter advised her that sometimes power isn't the answer, but when he saw how determined she was and how much she wanted to help the world, he conceded and decided to join her. He also gave Lana a phoenix medallion to remind her that as she rises higher and higher to never look down.

Season Eight
''"Well, if it isn't Metropolis' newest power couple." – Oliver Queen, Requiem''

"Our destiny isn't written in some book in the future. We write it ourselves, every day." Lana Lang, Legion

Lana returned to Smallville to attend Chloe's wedding to Jimmy Olsen. Clark was stunned at her arrival and questioned her as to why she left him. She said it was the hardest decision she ever had to make, but it felt right. It wasn't long before Clark and Lana were growing closer again and as they discussed rebuilding their relationship, they shared a kiss.

Aware of Lex's dangerous plan to use the Prometheus suit to match Clark's powers, Lana convinced Dr. Groll to put the suit on her instead. The precedure included having Lana's skin moderately scarred so that the skin became damaged and nanites were grafted by lasers into her skin, which had also been treated and altered by alien DNA. Dr Groll successfully grafted a layer of nanites onto Lana's entire body, granting Lana superpowers of her own. Clark witnessed her break out of her containment chamber, grab the bullet Tess had fired at Dr. Groll, and they gazed at each other before she sped off. Later, Lana told Clark to meet her on the roof of the Daily Planet. They discussed her new abilities, and she said that, together, they could make the world a better place. However if he didn't, she would understand. Clark assured Lana it was what he always wanted and as the sun rose over the horizon, Lana and Clark then passionately kissed after they decide to make the world a better place together.

Lana then dedicated her life to help others at Clark's side, thus strengthening their relationship. Lana and Clark both have superpowers and, one night, they are in bed making love, causing the bed to break. They were eventaully tragically torn apart after Lex had Winslow Schott put a kryptonite bomb on the roof of the Daily Planet, Lana chose to defuse the bomb to save Metropolis. This infected Lana's nano-skin with kryptonite on a permanent basis; this prevented Lana from being close to Clark without hurting him. They reluctantly separated in an emotional and tearful goodbye. She then left smallville to live her life in another part of the world.

Lana's Destiny
"Ever since I was little, I've read stories about you, about the hardships you overcome and the incredible things you will go on to do. You are remembered for a lot more than just your relationship with Clark, you have a destiny all your own." -- Imra Ardeen to Lana Lang, Legion.

Lana Lang is Clark Kent's first love and Lex Luthor's ex-wife as well as a Superheroine fighting to preserve life. She operates in other parts of the world, using her gifts to fight injustice. Lana was destined to lead an purposeful life and would do so by discovering and fulfilling her own destiny. Her journey started in high school and continued until she finally actualized it, just before she left town for good. However, Lana continue to embrace and fulfill her destiny out in the world, away from Smallville. This is the epic journey she made into becoming one of earth's greatest superheroines.

Lana had always been sensitive to the plight of others and always wanted to help people whenever she could, even from an early age. When she was in high school, she participated in various charity including school bake sales and personally organized a school blood drive. In the summer of 2001, she worked as an assistant to the elders at the Smallville Retirement Center and worked at a Teen Crisis Hot-line for students that needed emotional support. As a normal human, she had protected and saved the lives of her friends many times, including Clark, his adoptive and biological mothers, and his cousin Kara, and helped save the world when Chloe taken over by Brainiac and tried to enslave mankind. She also founded the Isis Foundation, a non-profit devoted to helping meteor-infected metahumans.

Lana's destiny was finally revealed to her by a future superheroine from the 21th century. After Lana actualized her destiny and become a superheroine, her first save was Dr. Groll, whom Tess tried to kill when he stopped her from destroying Prometheus. The next morning, she visited Tess and tried to save her from destroying herself with her quest for revenge. Her final and most important act of heroism in Metropolis was when she chose to defuse a kryptonite bomb on the roof of the Daily Planet that was intended to destroy Metropolis. Later that night, Lana talked Clark out of killing Lex, knowing it would destroy him and keep him from ever fulfilling his destiny.

Due to the fact that Lana could not be near Clark without hurting him after defusing the bomb, she knew if she stayed in town, Clark would have devoted his entire time looking for a cure so that they could be together and they'd both emotionally suffer the pain of not being together. Lana made the difficult decision to leave Clark forever, knowing that both of them had their own destinies to fulfill, even if they couldn't fulfill them together. Lana is brave and has the strength of character to make difficult decisions; she doesn't back down from doing what is right, and that was why even amidst Clark's pleas and protests, she stood firm and decided it was best for both her and Clark, for her to leave Smallville. She live and continues to help and save people in other parts of the world.

Clark's Secret
Clark was afraid of Lana's reaction to his secret, as he felt guilty that Lana's parents had died in the meteor shower of 1989. He faced his worst nightmare when LuthorCorp accidentally released a dangerous toxin into the air, causing Clark to hallucinate that Lana had discovered his secret and wanted vengeance for her parents' death, killing him with a piece of kryptonite. This made Clark more convinced than ever that he could not tell Lana the truth, especially as she had stated several times that she was fearful of people with superhuman powers. To maintain his secret, Clark constantly lied to Lana, driving a wedge between them. Clark was not only doing this for selfish reasons, as he also believed that his secret would put her in danger, especially as Pete Ross claimed that it had ruined his life.

Despite Clark's attempts to maintain his secret, Lana became suspicious, particularly when she had vivid memories of Clark's face as she was pulled into a tornado. This bothered Lana for a long time, as she even pondered what had really happened five years later. Lana directly questioned Clark about this, but he brushed it off. Unconvinced, Lana later tried to reassure Clark that she would not be bothered if he was different.

Lana soon became involved with Clark's secret when she received a magical tattoo that corresponded with markings from the Kawatche Caves. She questioned Clark about the cave paintings, but he lied to her again, claiming that he couldn't read them. Nevertheless, she had an instinctual feeling that the Stones of Power were meant for Clark and gave him the Crystal of Air.

It was only when his powers were gone that they were able to embark on a serious relationship, indicating that Clark's secret was the biggest barrier that they had to overcome in their relationship. When Clark's powers returned, he decided not to tell Lana, despite Lana claiming that she had never felt so close to him as when she absorbed some of his powers when she became a vampire and drank his blood. However, this could've been due to the kryptonite-induced psychosis effects she was suffering.

Lana trusted Clark, despite his secrets, and barely even questioned his resurrection after he was shot and bled to death. She even angrily confronted Lex about his inquiries into Clark. Clark regularly risked exposing his secret to rescue Lana from near-death experiences, indicating that she meant more to him than his secret.

Clark became nervous that Lana would discover the truth when she admitted that she had been investigating the meteor showers and believed that an alien threat had been residing in Smallville all this time. Nevertheless, Clark eventually confessed his secret to Lana and asked her to marry him. Although she was shocked and reserved at responding to his proposal at first, Lana accepted Clark for who he was and agreed to marry him. Clark then realized that he could trust Lana to keep his secret, but soon realized that it was dangerous for her, as Lex accidentally caused a fatal car accident that killed her. After the day was reset, Clark reconsidered his decision to tell Lana his secret, after which their relationship fell apart as a result.

Lana realized that Chloe Sullivan knew Clark's secret and tried to get to the bottom of it, even rifling through Clark's belongings. She told Clark that she was aware that he was always the one saving her when he rescued her again from Mack. Lana eventually set up a trap for Clark to expose his powers and she witnessed Clark's super speed, heat vision and super strength. Overwhelmed at first, she ultimately realized that it didn't change the way she felt about him. However, she didn't confess to Clark that she knew about his powers until he told her that he was an alien from Krypton.

Relationships
Lana values honesty within her relationships, which is ironic because all the men she has every dated have lied to her for their own benefits or to protect her from possibly harm. Lana was intuitive enough to suspect when Clark, Jason and Lex were lying to her, even if at the time she didn't know the full extent of their deception, this leads to them losing her trust and she eventually became less willing to share things with them. Throughout the show's run, Lana has dated these various individuals:

■Whitney Fordman was her boyfriend through the whole of Season One. He left to be in the military, and was later killed in combat. ■Jason Teague appeared in Season Four. He was her boyfriend in Paris but then came to Smallville. He was the football coach of Smallville High. He and his mother were obsessed with the Stones of Power. He died in the second meteor shower while attacking Martha and Jonathan. ■Clark Kent and Lana were together a short time at the end of Season Two. Their relationship ended when Clark, under the influence of red kryptonite and Jor-El, ran off to Metropolis. Later, at the end of Season Four, she told Clark that she loves him, thinking that she'd never see him again. In Season Five they started dating again and slept together when Clark lost his powers. Clark broke up with her when Simone hypnotized him. He didn't get back together with her because he didn't want to lie to her anymore. Later, in Season Six, she left Lex and told Clark that she had always loved him but then she died in an explosion shortly after. It was later revealed that she was hiding in China to get away from Lex for some time, but returned to Smallville, continuing her relationship with Clark. Throughout Season Seven, Lana and Clark had to deal with Lana's desire for vengeance that she was holding against Lex and the things he had done to her when they were married. Clark had seen a side of Lana that he had never before, but still accepted her and assured her that its how we come back from mistakes that we have made, is what that truly matters. Lana and Clark had some strain in their relationship when Bizarro returned, posing as Clark, and Lana had to make a choice between Clark and Bizarro. But their relationship was repaired just before Lana was captured and left in a catatonic state by Brainiac. When Lana finally awoke from her state, she was kidnapped by Tess and forced to leave Clark a DVD video message, ending their relationship. Lana told Clark that they were not meant to be together and that they were fooling themselves. But she also let Clark know that she will still love him, more than he will ever know. After Lana left Smallville she returned to see Chloe get married. Obviously, Clark was stunned and surprised at her arrival and questioned her as to why she left him. She said it was the hardest decision she ever had to make but it felt right. During Lana's return to Smallville, she stole Lex's Prometheus suit, which gave her superpowers, which helped bring Clark and Lana closer together as they were both on an equal playing field. She decided to dedicate her life at Clark's side to help others. However, when Lana had to dismantle a kryptonite bomb on the roof of the Daily Planet, the suit absorbed the kryptonite, which prevented Lana and Clark from getting too close to each other permanently. Clark and Lana shared their final kiss before Lana was forced to leave Smallville forever. Clark and Lana's final moments were emotional and heartfelt.

■Lex Luthor and Lana formed a quick friendship at the beginning of the series. Soon it became a partnership when they went into business together, and the Talon became a strong point of their relationship. Lana has always looked to Lex for help, and he pulls through and helps her every time.By season 3, they had formed a strong bond, where she could confide in him with her problems, whether it be about Clark or her parents. Their relationship became rocky in season four because his "over protection" and her need to be able to make decisions without anyone's help. Mid-season four it became obvious that Lex had feelings for Lana that go beyond friendship, but never pursued anything for the sake of not losing her. Recently, with growing curiosity about the ship Lana discovered, her and Lex started working on solving this mystery, spending more time together. With Clark and Lana's breaking up for good, Lana confides in Lex more, and she begins to having feelings for him too, finally giving their relationship a chance.

Lex proposed, yet Lana still needed time to think due to the speed that their relationship was going. After days of waiting Lex approached Lana again at the mansion and admitted that he was afraid of her answer. Lana confessed that she would always love both Clark and him, but she was done regretting so she accepted his proposal. Lex's relationship with Lana served as a direct contrast to his increasingly darker personality. At his own admittance, she unnerved him to the point of spontaneity and a tendency to do anything to keep her happy and by his side. He often wondered aloud what he would do without her.

It soon became clear that Lana's pregnancy "isn't typical," but was progressing "as scheduled." On her wedding day, Lana had second thoughts about marrying Lex when she discovered Clark's powers, but Lionel told Lana if she did not marry Lex then he would kill Clark.

Lana then began to manipulate Lex into continuing to trust her but finally declared her love to Clark and told Lex that she had known about the fake baby and was leaving him. Shortly afterwards, Lana's car exploded and Lex was arrested for murder. It was revealed that Lana faked her death to punish Lex, but when Lex discovered this he gave her permission to live free of him if she pleased and invited her to return to Smallville, clearly feeling guilty for what he put her through.
