Cyrus Krupp was a deluded Meteor freak who thought he was an alien.

William Burnett lost both his parents during the 1989 meteor shower in Smallville. Afterwards, he was found by an elderly couple, who gave him the name Cyrus Krupp and raised him until they died and he was shipped around different foster homes. The meteor shower had mutated his body, giving him an ability to heal. On the day of the meteor shower, Cyrus had seen a spaceship land, which had been the only memory of his old life he still had. In time, the combination of his metahuman ability and his memory of the spaceship, convinced Cyrus that he was an alien. He began running from the foster homes and displaying behavior that ended up with Cyrus being committed.

In the spring of 2003, Cyrus had been released and sent to a new foster family in Smallville. While there, Cyrus ran into trouble with bullies and met Clark Kent, who soon came to suspect that Cyrus was also an alien from the planet Krypton. After Clark used his powers to save Cyrus, he realized that Clark was an alien.

Cyrus was convinced that his alien parents were coming for him, so he constructed a transmission tower. However, when he sent his signal, the bullies showed up and tried to pull it down with Cyrus still inside. They were stopped by Clark, but the ringleader suffered a broken neck in the process. Clark had uncovered the truth about Cyrus and confronted him with it. He also urged Cyrus to heal the bully. Cyrus complied and healed the boy, but also suffered a complete mental breakdown and was taken to a hospital in Metropolis.
