Evan Gallagher was a second generation metahuman.
History
Evan was the son of Karen Gallagher, a senior at Smallville High School, who was meteor infected. Because of Karen's metahuman abilities, her pregnancy went full-term in only one week.
When Karen attempted to get to a hospital, the baby inside of her gave off a powerful blast of energy. Disintegrating both Karen and the car she was in, leaving the newborn baby alone in a field.
Right afterwards, the baby was found by Clark Kent and Lana Lang, who took him to the Smallville Medical Center. Now called "Evan" (as he had been found in Evan's Field), the baby was placed in the care of the Kents, until Child Services could collect him.
However, the energy build-up in Evan's body caused him to rapidly age. First into a seven-year-old boy and then into a teenager. Clark and Lana tried to find a cure before he'd age to death. However, the only possible cure was a bone marrow transplant, from a matching donor. So, Clark tracked down Evan's biological father, Tanner Sutherland.
Evan later confronted his father, at the man's work. However, as Tanner had seen Karen explode, he was in shock and rejected the boy. Enraged, Evan pushed Tanner, who was accidentally impaled and died.
When Lana found him, she took him to Chandler's Field, knowing that there wasn't much time left. Evan died in Clark's arms, when he rapidly aged into an old man and exploded.
