Every Episode of Smallville Where Clark Gets a New Power

Smallville was the superhero show that started it all, chronicling the life of a young Clark Kent before he became the legendary Superman. The show ran for ten years and followed Clark from his first year in high school and into adulthood. Clark struggles to understand who he is and where he came from as his abilities grow. He deals with first love, complicated friendships and keeping his secret.

When Smallville begins, Clark Kent is a teenager who is only just learning of his alien heritage. He doesn’t initially have all his powers in the pilot episode, infamously only gaining the ability to fly in the finale. Clark’s powers tend to manifest when he needs them most, sometimes triggered by other symptoms—like a sneeze.

Clark Kent Started With a Few Powers in the First Episode

“How About This? Is This Normal?”

The pilot episode of Smallville opens with the meteor show that struck Smallville, Kansas, in 1989 before jumping to the present day—or 2001, when the show premiered. Clark Kent is starting high school and desperately trying to understand why he’s so different. When his father tells him he can’t keep his new truck from Lex, it starts an argument that ends with Jonathan showing Clark his spaceship and telling him about the day they found him. The pilot also presented the effect meteor rocks have on humans, introducing the meteor-infected, starting with a guy who gained electrokinesis—the ability to control electricity.

“Pilot”

October 16, 2001

The first ability Clark demonstrates is superspeed when he misses the school bus and zips through a cornfield faster than a speeding bullet to get to school on time. His invulnerability is shown in the iconic scene where Clark sticks his arm into a wood chipper during an argument with his dad. When Clark faces off with Jeremy—the meteor-infected guy out for revenge—the audience sees his superstrength in action. Clark also begins the show with accelerated healing, solar radiation absorption, enhanced mental capacity, superhuman stamina, and dexterity—but these powers aren’t as obviously displayed, revealing themselves more subtly as Smallville progresses.

X-Ray Vision Manifests in the Fourth Episode

“Sometimes I See Through Things. Other Times It’s Like an X-Ray.”

In the fourth episode of Smallville, titled “X-Ray,” a suspicious bank robbery where Clark is thrown through a window triggers his X-ray vision. A meteor-infected girl, Tina, possesses the ability to shapeshift into other people. She uses her power to turn into Lex Luthor and attempt to withdraw a large amount of money, but when her signature doesn’t match their records, she switches to robbing the bank. Throughout the episode, she shifts into several different people, including Whitney, Lana, and Clark.

“X-Ray”

November 6, 2001

Clark’s newly discovered X-ray vision is integral to stopping Tina and saving the day. Tina has a unique bone structure that allows her to shapeshift, and Clark can identify her no matter who she looks like on the outside. At first, Clark had no control over when his X-ray vision activated, leading him to peep, accidentally, into the girls’ locker room. As he learns to control his new power, he can use it to find and catch Tina before she can steal Lana’s life. Clark’s X-ray vision also seems to possess telescopic qualities as it evolves to where he can zoom in on small details, locating people and reading things miles away.

Season two’s “Heat” has a double meaning in the episode, with Clark developing his heat vision and Smallville getting hit by a heat wave. The episode centers around an attractive new substitute teacher, who also happens to be Lex Luthor’s brand-new fiancé, Desirée. Desirée is a meteor-infected black widow who likes to marry rich men and uses the seductive power of her kiss to get one of her students to murder her husband. Unluckily for her, she chooses Clark—who is immune to most meteor powers.

“Heat”

October 1, 2002

While Clark’s heat vision doesn’t play a particularly important role in stopping Desiree, it initially manifests because of her. Clark finds himself very strongly attracted to the new teacher, and with his heat vision triggered by sexual desire, he accidentally starts a fire in class. It leads to a hilariously awkward scene between Clark and Jonathan when they work together to figure out his new power. Clark quickly learns to control his heat vision, practicing by lighting candles and, in the final showdown of the episode, vaporizing a bullet in midair.

When Clark Gets Sick, His Sneezes Reveal His Super Breath

“Now Huff Puff and Blow That Door Down.”

Smallville season six introduces Clark’s enhanced lung capacity when he gets sick. After the riots at the end of season five, Clark works overtime to clean up Metropolis. When he sneezes for the first time, he blows his barn door seven miles across Smallville. It nearly lands on Lois as she’s out for a jog. Clark’s cold means his powers aren’t at a hundred percent, and it causes destructive sneezes that he can’t control. He plans on resting until the worst of it is over, but when Lex gets kidnapped because of his possession by Zod, Lionel asks him to help find Lex.

“Sneeze”

October 5, 2006

Uncovered, Clark’s sneeze was destructive. When he could partially cover his mouth, he still sent a gust of wind through the Daily Planet bullpen with papers flying everywhere. Clark manages to cover his mouth for all future sneezes, but with his abilities at less than full power, Chloe proposes he sneezes to take out a wall that’s hiding important information they need to find Lex. Unable to sneeze on command, Chloe suggests it’s his breath that’s super, not his sneezes, and she tells him to blow the wall down. His super breath is not one of his more commonly used powers, but it certainly comes in handy in “Sneeze.”

Arctic Breath Makes Its Debut in Season Nine

“But First, Let’s Give the People of Seattle a Little Surprise.”

Between seasons eight and nine of Smallville, Clark feels disconnected from humanity after Lois’s disappearance. When she returns, so does he, and he has a few new tricks up his sleeve. In the third episode of season nine, Clark juggles being a reporter with Lois and being The Blur. When they hear a police call about a high-speed chase, Clark debuts one of his new skills: arctic breath. He blows cold air to chill Lois’s coffee down to distract her while he runs off to take care of the motorcyclist police are chasing—who turns out to be none other than Oliver Queen.

“Rabid”

Clark’s arctic breath is an expansion of his super breath. He presumably picked it up from his training with Jor-El at the fortress. While the new power is first seen in “Rabid,” it’s more notably used in the episode “Upgrade.” When Clark gets overtaken by a cloud of red kryptonite dust, he befriends Zod, and they go on an impromptu trip to Seattle. There, Clark and Zod bond atop the Space Needle, and Clark uses his arctic breath to cause a snowstorm. Later in the episode, Zod and Clark use the ability to encase Corben in ice.

Clark Uses Microvision for the First Time in Season Ten

While Clark has often used his X-ray vision to spot details unseen by the naked eye, in season ten of Smallville, Clark expands the ability to include microscopic vision. When Clark investigates several bodies found, Chloe and Oliver are mistaken for FBI agents and kidnapped. The murder victims turn out to be connected to Chloe’s abduction when they realize Desaad is converting people for Darkseid and killing those he cannot tempt to sin.

During the investigation, Clark uses his microvision to spot microscopic dots of ink on one of the victims. This is the first time viewers see his supervision used to zoom in while not using his X-ray vision, making this a separate skill. Spotting the ink on the victim leads Clark to discover the coroner is covering for the killer and leading him to find Chloe before Desaad can kill her.

Flying Marks the Evolution of Clark Kent Into Superman

“I Was Moving Toward the Truck, and It Felt Like I Was Willing Myself to Do It. It Felt Like I Was Flying.”

Smallville had a well-known mandate on the show, “No tights, no flights.” Clark gained new abilities all the time, but he could never fly. It was established as a mental block early on when he was taken over by Jor-El to become the cold and mission-oriented Kal-El in the season four premiere. Other Kryptonians had no trouble flying. This was problematic for Clark when pursuing Brainiac, as he couldn’t follow him and Kara into the sky in season seven. It wasn’t until the Smallville series finale that Clark learned to fly.

Clark finally overcomes his mental roadblocks when fighting Darkseid. He is thrown through the air and begins to hover there. Clark realizes he’s unlocked his power of flight, and after ten years of challenges and Jor-El’s trials, he can fly. After going to the fortress to consult Jor-El, he dons his red and blue suit to save Lois and the world. Flying was the benchmark for Smallville, marking when Clark Kent truly became Superman. In the flash forward, the show ends with the iconic shot of Clark Kent ripping open his shirt to reveal the Superman suit beneath.

Ainda dá tempo de comprar um vinho especial para o Natal - 23/12/2024 - Tinto ou Branco

Tânia Nogueira

Quem nunca deixou para comprar os ingredientes e os vinhos para a ceia no último instante que atire a primeira pedra. Muitas vezes, fiz isso no dia 24 de manhã. Só que a forma com que fazemos compras hoje é muito diferente do que era antes da pandemia. Compramos a maior parte das coisas pela internet. Isso significa que é preciso considerar o prazo de entrega.

Por sorte, algumas lojas físicas estarão abertas no dia 23 e no dia 24 e alguns sites entregam a tempo da sua ceia. Seguem algumas sugestões.

de la Croix

Uma das primeiras importadoras a trabalhar só com vinhos orgânicos e biodinâmicos, a de la Croix traz vinhos de todas as regiões da França. Tudo ótimo. A minha sugestão é o pet-nat Rosa, Rosé, Rosam, 2022, do Domaine La Grange Tiphaine, que custa R$ 198,00. Da região do Loire, esse espumante, feito com apenas uma fermentação,é um corte gamay, grolleau e côt (majoritariamente). Côt é o nome mais usado para a malbec na França. A gamay é a uva do beaujolais. E a grolleau é uma uva tinta usada para fazer rosés em Anjou, uma sub-região do Loire. O vinho é fresco, leve e com bastante acidez. Ótimo para cortar a gordura de pratos como o pernil ou o tender.

Nesta segunda-feira (23), a de la Croix funciona normalmente, das 9h30 às 19h. Na terça (24), fecha. Na Alameda Casa Branca 1207.

Casa Soncini

Novidades costumam fazer sucesso em festas. Viram assunto. Nos altos da represa de Avaré, na cidade de Itaí, em São Paulo, a vinícola Casa Soncini representa um terroir novo. Lançou seu primeiro vinho em 2022. E já recebeu alguns prêmios. Minha sugestão para a ceia é o Casa Soncini Sauvignon Blanc 2023 (R$ 109,00). Para quem mora na capital paulista, comprando na loja virtual da vinícola (loja.casasoncini.com) até o meio dia da segunda-feira (23), a entrega é grátis e feita no mesmo dia.

Vivente Vinhos Vivos

A vinícola de Colina, cidade próxima de Garibaldi, é uma das naturebas mais bem conceituadas do Rio Grande do Sul. Boa parte de seus vinhos são feitos com uvas orgânicas e biodinâmicas. Minha sugestão é o rosé . um corte de 70% pinot noir, 15% cabernet franc e 15% chardonnay é quase um clarete. Leve, fresco, seco, com aroma de morango. Custa R$ 175,00. Na segunda (23) e na terça-feira (24), os paulistanos que comprarem no site da vinícola (https://vivente.bio/products) recebem as garrafas no mesmo dia.

Sonoma

Um dos primeiros e-commerces de vinho de São Paulo, o Sonoma hoje funciona como marketplace de vinhos e tem muitas opções. Minha sugestão é o clarete Cherry Bomb Pinot Noir 2022, da Garbo Enologia Criativa, de Bento Gonçalves, um tinto de ótima acidez, leve, feito para ser tomado gelado. Cheio de aromas de framboesa, amora e cereja.

O Sonoma é também pioneiro na entrega expressa. Na Grande São Paulo, entrega em até duas horas. O vinho está por R$ 114,00 e o preço da entrega varia de acordo com o endereço.

Zahil

Com um portfólio bastante completo e diversificado, a importadora Zahil é um bom endereço para você buscar vinhos para a sua ceia. Lá você encontra vendedores que podem ajudar muito na escolha dos rótulos. A minha sugestão é o chileno Soothsayer Ferment Cinsault 2021 da Garage Wine Co.. Gosto muito dos cinsaults chilenos, especialmente os do Maule. Eles têm um frescor e uma vivacidade que não sinto nos de outros terroir. É frutado e leve, com ótima acidez.

Em São Paulo, a loja da Zahil fica na rua Bandeira Paulista, 726, térreo. Atenção, esta é a indicação serve também para quem vive em Campinas, Curitiba e Recife, onde a Zahil também tem lojas físicas.

Joe Biden comuta sentenças de 37 dos 40 presos federais no corredor da morte | Política dos EUA

Joe Biden comuta sentenças de 37 dos 40 presos federais no corredor da morte | Política dos EUA

David Smith in Washington

Joe Biden comutou as sentenças de 37 dos 40 presos federais no corredor da morte, mudando sua pena para prisão perpétua sem liberdade condicional.

A decisão surge após um mês de pressão por parte dos ativistas que alertaram que o presidente eleito Donald Trump apoia a pena de morte e reiniciou as execuções federais durante seu primeiro mandato, após uma pausa de quase duas décadas.

“Não se engane: condeno esses assassinos, lamento as vítimas de seus atos desprezíveis e sofro por todas as famílias que sofreram perdas inimagináveis ​​e irreparáveis”, disse Biden em comunicado divulgado na segunda-feira.

“Mas guiado pela minha consciência e pela minha experiência como defensor público, presidente da Comissão Judiciária do Senado, vice-presidente e agora presidente, estou mais convencido do que nunca de que devemos acabar com o uso da pena de morte a nível federal. Em sã consciência, não posso recuar e permitir que uma nova administração retome as execuções que interrompi.”

Entre os poupados está Apenas Davisum ex-policial de Nova Orleans que planejou uma rede de proteção às drogas envolvendo vários outros policiais e organizou o assassinato de uma mulher que apresentou uma queixa de brutalidade contra ele.

Há também uma comutação para Norris Holder, que foi condenado à morte por um assalto a banco entre dois homens, durante o qual um segurança morreu. Os promotores disseram que Holder pode não ter disparado o tiro fatal.

A ação de clemência se aplica a todos os presos federais no corredor da morte, exceto três condenados por terrorismo ou assassinato em massa motivado pelo ódio: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, condenado pela execução do ataque a bomba na maratona de Boston em 2013; Telhado Dylannque matou nove membros negros da igreja em Charleston, Carolina do Sul, em 2015; e Robert Bowers, que invadiu uma sinagoga no coração da comunidade judaica de Pittsburgh e matou 11 fiéis em 2018.

Madeline Cohen, advogada de Holder, disse ao Washington Post no sábado: “Muitos dos homens no corredor da morte federal foram processados ​​​​durante uma era política superaquecida e uma abordagem excessivamente zelosa e dura contra o crime que provou ser profundamente falha. É sobre uma era diferente e as lições que aprendemos daquela época. Isso é parte do que o presidente Biden estará refletindo quando tomar esta decisão.”

A maioria dos 40 homens detidos no corredor da morte federal são pessoas de cor e 38% são negros, Robin Maher, diretor executivo do Centro de Informações sobre Pena de Morte, anteriormente disse ao Guardião. Quase um em cada quatro homens tinha 21 anos ou menos na época do crime.

Como senador, Biden defendeu um projeto de lei criminal de 1994 que expandiu a pena de morte federal para cobrir 60 novos crimes. Ele se vangloriou: “Fui eu quem colocou essas penas de morte neste projeto de lei”. A legislação é agora amplamente vista como tendo contribuído para o encarceramento em massa, afectando particularmente os homens negros, e muitos dos que actualmente se encontram no corredor da morte foram condenados ao abrigo das suas disposições.

Mas durante a sua campanha para as eleições presidenciais de 2020, Biden reverteu o seu apoio de longa data à pena capital, comprometendo-se a eliminá-la a nível federal. Ele citou preocupações sobre condenações injustas e disparidades raciais no sistema de justiça.

A administração Biden devidamente impôs uma moratória sobre execuções federais. A Casa Branca disse que a última ação de Biden impediria o próximo governo de executar as sentenças de execução que não seriam proferidas de acordo com as políticas e práticas atuais.

Sob Trump, mais pessoas encarceradas no sistema federal foram condenados à morte do que no anterior 10 presidentes combinado.

De acordo com a Casa Branca, Biden emitiu mais comutações neste ponto de sua presidência do que qualquer um de seus antecessores recentes no mesmo ponto de seus primeiros mandatos. No início deste mês ele anunciado clemência para cerca de 1.500 americanos – o maior número de sempre num único dia – que demonstraram uma reabilitação bem sucedida e um compromisso em tornar as comunidades mais seguras.

Biden também é o primeiro presidente a conceder indultos categóricos a indivíduos condenados por simples uso e porte de maconha e a ex-membros do serviço LGBTQ condenados por conduta privada devido à sua orientação sexual.

No início deste mês, o presidente provocou protestos políticos ao perdoando seu filho, Hunterpor crimes federais por porte de arma e condenações fiscais que poderiam ter levado a uma sentença de prisão. Biden, que deixa o cargo em 20 de janeiro, prometeu repetidamente não conceder tal perdão.
