Why Chloe?

[harryandginnyfanatic]

Chloe brought up an interesting question in Fracture.

"Out of the entire catalouge of meteor abilities, why was I the one chosen to be in charge of such an amazing gift?"

Any ideas?

[minerva73]

Maybe because she's been a main character for 6 seasons and the writers wanted to give her something extraordinary that would change a lot of lives and open up new writing pathways.

Unless you mean pertaining to inside Smallville itself, then I'm outta clues. Maybe Chloe was just randomly given that power or something.

That's my guess. :)

[you_smell_terrific]

As I said in the quote thread, because she's an amazing person ;)

I think she truly understands how to give things up for the greater good. Knowing Clark's secret for so long along with the JLA members has probably shown her what's higher than herself.

There isn't a better person to have that power :)

[theotherJane]

Because she has a good heart.

I don't know. But she was one of at least 2. Let's not forget Cyrus Krupp and what happened to him. He had virtually the same power.

[harryandginnyfanatic]

Well, when you think of the people who she's already saved and their importance to the Superman mythology. I guess it's possible.

[aqgalaxy]

A lot of people say it's Jor-El.

[AndiGirl]

Chloe is just the perfect person for the power, but I do think there's a bigger intention. The jorel scenario would be interesting. He gave Chloe the powers so she could save his son...then Chloe would do back to normal after her "job" was done.

[harryandginnyfanatic]

Chloe was infected long before she ever came into contact with the fortress. So I don't see how Jor El could have anything to do with it.

[svtwamedfan05]

I have a feeling because she is so close to Clark that maybe Jor-el had a part to play in it or maybe not, I guess we will have to see what happens. But here's my opinion. If Jor-El had something to do with it maybe just maybe he knows Chloe will be the key later on down the road for Clark continue his path to his destiny. I think its a major point from the conversation that maybe it may be for Clark later on down the road. Now Chlarkers don't get mad at me, I like Chloe. In fact she was my favorite character since the beginning but I hate to say this but maybe she will sacrifice her own life for Clark. Maybe the reason she keeps going out longer everytime she uses her power, is a sign that if or when she may have to use it to save Clark, it will take everything she has. Maybe once that happens she will have given her all to help Clark continue his destiny. Believe me I don't want Chloe to die as much as many other people here but if something had to happen to her in order for her to leave Smallville, I had always hoped she would either move away, definitely not die without dignity. If and I'm not saying she will, but if she does die after sacrificing her life for Clark than I consider that a very noble death and she will have the dignity she deserves. I just hope if that were to happen, Clark would be ready for his destiny and not still wasting his abilities on the Farm. If he were to do that, that would be an insult to Chloe's memory and sacrifice. She would have died in vain and I would be really pissed.

[AndiGirl]

He probably doesnt...just wishful thinking. :) It's not as romantic to think the writers just made it all fit perfectly! haha

Ok, to twist this to make a chlarker happy (Yeah I agree that's one way of seeing it and I see it too) there is this way:

Jor-El is said to have planned everything, the ship landing all that stuff. The cave wall depicted 2 humans that are going to be tied into Clark's life. These three as of storyline goes, has always been Clark, Lex, and Chloe.

If Jor-El was responsible, it could be that he made Chloe a healer. TO do like you said, to eventually heal Clark at the great time of need. However, what's the result. Ultimate death? Or does Clark heal her in return? She becomes cure of her meteor infection. Or does healing Clark, make Chloe immortal like hinted in Cure, and so she and Clark will always be together, thus saying Jor-El chose Chloe to be Clark's mate. That's another twist.

Look agreed it's a wait and see thing.

[UpandAtom]

If you look at past meteor freaks, there was usually a reason that they got their power:

1. Greg Arkin loved bugs so he became one. ("Metamorphosis")

2. Bob Rickman couldn't sell anything so he got the power of persuasion. ("Hug")

3. Jordan Cross wanted to connect with his dead mother so he got the ability to see people's deaths ("Hereafter").

4. Tina Greer wanted to have someone else's life so she had the power to shape shift ("X-Ray")

and so on...

Now, I really don't know why Chloe got this resurrection power. Her ability in "Truth" seems to fit her more. Chloe wants to get to the bottom of things. She has never complained over the loss of a loved one, or wanted to bring someone back from the dead. That is more Lana's thing.

However, maybe Chloe does have these hidden fears that we never knew about. Maybe she is worried about ending up alone and that is why the meteors gave her this power.

[berniepooh]

When I think back on all the "meteor freaks of the week" they all had powers associated with something there were doing at the time the meteor showers hit; or their exposure to meteor rocks created an ability in them to compensate for some talent or gift they had lost through an accident, the aging process or death. However, no one ever developed an ability for anything they did not already have a predisposition for, even if they weren't very good at it before exposure to the meteors.

It was revealed in Cure that in Chloe's case, her heart was the organ that absorbed the meteor concentration. Chloe's heart is truly pure and after learning from early mistakes in high school she has consistently chosen to do the right thing, even in the face of death. For those she loves, Chloe gives unselfishly of herself. That is why Chloe has the amazing ability to heal. Her heart is meteor infected and she is a loving character.

That says it all.

[shamville]

Give power save people. But i think lex is ownly one person save chloe from dieing for real and find chloe a cure probably in up coming espodes after 15. He find out chloe heal him.

[Hounshell]

The 'meteor rock' powers always seem to reflect the personality and karma of the affected person.

Chloe is a really really good person, and her power is an extension of her empathy.


I really like this show. I sure hope Smallville airs for an 8th season.

[smallvillerocks45]

I believe she definitely was given this power because she is a good person...but what I'm even more interested in finding out is how she acquired the power. Most meteor infected people have an idea of how and when their exposure to kryptonite caused their genetic mutation(s)...yet, Chloe doesn't, or at least hasn't said anything that expresses this sentiment.

[KEakaCK]

Maybe her abilities has nothing to do with meteor rocks directly...Consider this, Chloe's mother had abilities of her own and Chloe's ability was passed on from her mother in a different form....Just a thought on another way to see it.

[smallvillerocks45]

You make a good point....but then why does she always say she's a meteor freak?

I know that there are more pressing matters to address on the show, but I hope that the writers take the time to delve into this topic a bit more.

My thinking is that she thinks her abilities is the direct result of meteor rocks because she's been around them alot...Naturally assuming that she's a meteor freak.
This is just a thought...I'm not saying this is what I think.:)

I like your theory but there is a flaw in it: Clark died on Mortal how come Jor-El didn't contacted Chloe instead of using Lionel as a Vessel.

[SueB]

Chloe was a meteor freak when she was a child (before her Scooby-days with Clark) because her mother controls only meteor freaks and she controlled Chloe at age 8.

It usually seems that the powers manifested right away. In Freak Chlark said it didn't always manifest right away but I couldn't find an example in the episode list. It seems either the power happened right away post-meteor shower (1st or 2nd) OR the individual had an usual exposure of high doses (Cool, Reaper, Slumber, Craving, etc...). I'm working with the theory her ability was latent and it wasn't until it was triggered by an extreme circumstance (Lois's dead body) that it kicked in and became active. It IS such an exceptional power, there had to be a desire to use it. Knox made it clear use of power is tied to the brain. Having seen the movie Jumper last night, the "Jumper's" gift triggered under extreme circumstances.

OR...a wizard did it (JorEl).

[chlarkfan333]

That statement was a bizarre one to make, I thought. Unless something has been going on in offscreenville, why would Chloe even suspect the power was given to her? There were so many better ways to phrase her sentiments there, but given the way TPTB chose to put it, makes me wonder whether they are opening the door to something new.

[Lex3]

I don't believe Jor-El had ANYTHING to do with it. After all, Chloe was detected by the meteor detector in season 6 (what's his name) and that confirms it was meteor induced. As for the how, I'm pretty sure it was just her meteor-freak investigation career catching up to her... maybe her being the child of a meteor-affected person increased the chances of her becoming a meteor freak, although I don't see how Jor-El could have had anything to do with this. As for the "why her?" I think it was a rhetorical question, and nobody gets to decide what powers they have.

I'm not sure it was given to her, per se, unless the writers slipped up and made a reference to religion.

[dunkman]

As much as I usually like to analyze, figure out complex things, & say something long & thoughtful, for this one I'd just say "because she has a big heart". Clark should've told her that!

[WickedJenn]

That says it all.

Very well said. Also in "Freak", Tobias saw her as meteor-infected. If Jor-El had anything to do with it, he probably wouldn't have seen it in her, just like he didn't see Clark's.

[chlo-el]

This may be stretching it but I was just thinking that since Kryptonians have been on earth for years and there have been at least one meteor shower before the first one in Smallville then it could be possible that Chloe came in a long line of meteor infected women maybe somehow having some kind of link w/ the Kawatche people or maybe some other people who got infected with the meteor.

[aqgalaxy]

Clark died on Mortal how come Jor-El didn't contacted Chloe instead of using Lionel as a Vessel. Because it was a deliberate test from Jor-El.

[Legendary Lois & Clark]

Why did she get this power? To set up a perfect scenario that would cause her to sacrifice herself to heal Clark and give Al and Miles an easy yet nobile way of writing off the character when Allison's contract is up (and that's just around the corner). This healing power setup is so predictable it isn't funny. You know very well that she'll end up having to heal Clark sooner or later, and the result will surely spell the end for Chloe. She wouldn't have a prayer.

I don't think the show is ready to give up Chloe just yet, she's been around way to long for them to just kill her off.
Plus I think the ratings might drop if Chloe disappeared, they probably wouldn't risk it.

If we were still in the earlier seasons that might be true but Allison's contract is almost up (it's over at the end of this season) and the series only has one season left at the most and Tom is already signed for that.

[Lara Lane]

If Jor-El was responsible, it could be that he made Chloe a healer. TO do like you said, to eventually heal Clark at the great time of need.

But imagine, If healing a normal human being puts Chloe at great risk and it takes her each time longer to recover, imagine what would do to her to heal a super being such as Clark, who requires great amount of vital energy? I think it'd kill her.

[smallvillefx]

Their loss IMO.

Healing Lois and Lex did kill her. Healing Clark would only change how long she would stay dead before returning IMO.

[Lara Lane]

I have the theory it doesn't kill her but takes her into a profound catatonic state or something, where her body takes the opportunity to heal itself, but with Clark, maybe her body won't be able to do it because it will be spent.

I don't think they'd kill her this season, but, they could kill her in the last chapters of the show, because... well, the ratings won't matter any more, for the series would be over. Yes, they could be that evil.

[margroks]

It could just as easlily be EDLois who bites the dust, perhaps after Chloe is cured and can no longer save her thus giving them an easy way to rid themselves of a character who is in no way like the real Lois Lane. WE'll have to wait and see. But I'd prefer that whether Chloe saves Clark or not and I do think a more direct save is coming although this was a biggie as Clark told Chloe at the end, Chloe retained enough of her ability to self-regenerate, making her a perfect mate for the long lived Clark. In any event, Chloe has already been thought dead after saving EDLo from her own stupidity at the dam and actually ended up in a morgue drawer as well as not having a heartbeat for eighteen hours; it's getting old to have Chloe actually die for good as some sort of impetus for Clark to go forth and be a hero. He's already a hero; he doesn't need anything else wexcept to dump Lana and get on with his life.

This could well we the setup for the end of the nauseating Clana and for romantic Chlark at last but again we'll have to see. We've seen Clark admitting that Lana is a nasty piece of work and starting to withdraw in general, and saw it again when she (ick) kissed him on the cheek and he did not reciprocate.

There was one MF who didn't manifest right away and that was Jeremy Creek in the pilot. HE had been in a coma after being trapped on the cross as the scarecrow in October of 1989 and although he remained the same age as when he went into the coma which might be considered a slight manifestations, he was fully powered up by an electrical storm fifteen years later when we first met Clark and the gang.

I think Chloe has always been shown to be a person who empathizes with others, often to a fault. I can see why they gave her the power in that regard although I don't care for it in some respects because it appeared without warning and really, even if there are [possible good things to come from it, nearly dying when you save someone isn't the coolest power. Cyrus was able to heal a horse that looked like it was dying with no ill effects and I was uncertain as to why he fell into a coma after healing one of his tormentors later. Anyway, it doesn't seem to be the same kind of deal as Chloe's ability though it was similar.

And while there was at least one other meteor shower in the 1800s there is not evidence that we know of that her family was anywhere near Smallville then for them to be infected. We know Moira was from Metropolis and only in Smallville by chance the day of the 1989 meteor shower where she was infected and probably Chloe as well since Moira could control her which made her meteor infected with only that one chance for infection in her past as far as we know. While the AI is capable of manipulating humans as he did by snatching the fake Kara on that day and keeping her inside the cave wall until he needed her there is no evidence he is involved in Chloe's infection.

[smallvillefx]

He's already a hero; he doesn't need anything else wexcept to dump Lana and get on with his life.

good point.

[ClarksGal]

I agree. She would either die, or have no heartbeat for the next 20 years. :)

I have had the feeling that they are sort of phasing Chloe out of her old role and into a new one. Lois and Lana are slowly taking on roles that used to be Chloe's in the show. But instead of looking at that negatively, I think it has the potential to free Chloe up to do something even more important. Either she is going to joint the JL with her abilities, and be another super-hero of some sort with her healing abilities, or she is going to sacrifice herself to save Clark's life. To be truthful, even though I absolutely love Chloe, I think either role would do her character justice. She could easily be a JLer, and Clark could just see her from time to time for the rest of their lives, and all's good. Or, Chloe could save Clark's life, die in Clark's arms, and be the true reason why Clark devotes himself to saving the world. That would be a proper ending for Chloe, and the only thing that could make it even better would be if there is a moment before Chloe dies when Clark tells her that he loves her, kisses her, and then she dies. *sigh*

[harryandginnyfanatic]

Maybe it was so she would save the right people.

[babyluthor]

She wouldn't have a prayer.

I was thinking about this too. In fact I sensed a little foreshadowing of this situation in the Chlark scenes this episode. I think it would be great for Chloe to use her powers to save Clark, but I don't want her to die. Maybe she will be near death, but at the last second she will come back alive.

[kal-el_Girl]

It may matter how she got the powers but the way clark worries about her it's beyond sweet!!

[svtwamedfan05]

Maybe it was so she would save the right people.

Exactly. Not to mention she's already healed three main characters out of the Superman Mythology (ie. Lois, Jimmy, and Lex) It will only be a matter of time before she has to heal Clark.

[smallvillefx]

It will only be a matter of time before she has to heal Clark.

Hopefully she wont get killed in the process:(

[samanta]

It will only be a matter of time before she has to heal Clark.
Could she even heal Clark? Her power comes from meteor rocks. There's possibility that her power could hurt Clark and not heal him.

[svtwamedfan05]

I hope not either, but if she does. I hope its noble and she dies for a good reason.

----- Added 1 Minutes later -----

If that's the case then how can he stand being around her. Just like the other meteor freaks Clark didn't immediately pass out everytime he was around them.

[smallvillefx]

I hope not either, but if she does. I hope its noble and she dies for a good reason.

yeah and that she isn't immediately forgotten like all the other characters left behind(With the exception of Jonathan).

[svtwamedfan05]

I'm sure she won't, well atleast I hope not. After all she is the one that connects all the main Superman characters together.

Lois' cousin
Clark's best friend
Lex's enemy
Jimmy's first girlfriend
Perry's biggest fan

[smallvillefx]

Good point.

[BkWurm1]

I like your theory but there is a flaw in it: Clark died on Mortal how come Jor-El didn't contacted Chloe instead of using Lionel as a Vessel. Clark died in that episode when Gabriel shot him and then hauled Chloe away kicking and screaming. She was trapped underground and would have been unable to reach Clark.

As for how Jor-el could be involved, what if she was meteor infected since a young age, but didn't have an ability? She's traveled to the FOS a couple times. Jor-el even kind of started to freeze her the first time around. He could have sensed the kryptonite in her and directed it to her heart, enabling her ability or something like that. I wouldn't put it past this show.

I do think a final healing will happen, but I don't think she will stay dead. Something will happen to finally cure her. Honestly I think they've "killed" Chloe too many times for it to be meaningful now. The foreshadowing of her death is so clear that I have to believe it is a misdirect.

[smallvillerocks45]

What I don't understand is why Chloe would ever have to save Clark. He's invincible, nothing except Kryptonite could kill him, and we've seen in the past that as long as you remove it from his body (i.e. season 3's Kryptonite bullets), he will heal. So, how could he die? As far as I know, Jor-el does not seem interested in making him mortal anymore... and blue Kryptonite's powers are temporary in that direct contact is required.

[Khyla]

Chloe brought up an interesting question in Fracture.

"Out of the entire catalouge of meteor abilities, why was I the one chosen to be in charge of such an amazing gift?"

Any ideas?

Chloe asked almost the same question in Tomb.
(from “Tomb” script)
Chloe: You know, I...had a couple moments there where I actually thought I was losing my mind. I mean, I understand how Gretchen's spirit was released and all that, but... why was I the only one that could see her? I mean, why did she choose me?

And Clark replied with:
"Maybe because you care more about other people than anyone else I know"

---------------------------------------------

I believe she definitely was given this power because she is a good person...but what I'm even more interested in finding out is how she acquired the power. Most meteor infected people have an idea of how and when their exposure to kryptonite caused their genetic mutation(s)...yet, Chloe doesn't, or at least hasn't said anything that expresses this sentiment.

i think perhaps "Tomb" was when Chloe’s "freak powers” got jump-started through the freak "zap" in her shower during the thunderstorm and the combination of the Kryptonite Bracelet, enabling her to "see" Gretchen's ghost and take Gretchen into herself, slashed wrists and all. Except for Clark's rescue from the hospital scene, Chloe is possessed for the entire show by Gretchen. It looks to me like a connection. :\

A lot of people say it's Jor-El.

I wrote a short one-shot about 3 months ago addressing just that idea! :D It's called "Chosen" (http://www.kryptonsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81637) :D

[ginnyfan]

1. Greg Arkin loved bugs so he became one. ("Metamorphosis")

2. Bob Rickman couldn't sell anything so he got the power of persuasion. ("Hug")

3. Jordan Cross wanted to connect with his dead mother so he got the ability to see people's deaths ("Hereafter").

4. Tina Greer wanted to have someone else's life so she had the power to shape shift ("X-Ray")

and so on...

Now, I really don't know why Chloe got this resurrection power. Her ability in "Truth" seems to fit her more. Chloe wants to get to the bottom of things. She has never complained over the loss of a loved one, or wanted to bring someone back from the dead. That is more Lana's thing.

However, maybe Chloe does have these hidden fears that we never knew about. Maybe she is worried about ending up alone and that is why the meteors gave her this power.

This is interesting. I've thought that "Truth", "Hydro" and this new power were connected. In "Truth" Chloe was polarized to her most ambitious, most selfish self. Then in "Hydro" it was almost like she was confronting that self in the form of Linda Lake. It gave Chloe a chance to reject the selfish ambition she embraced in "Truth" and declare what's more important to her. Now she has a power that's more reflective of where's she's been for the last three seasons. She's been self-sacrificing and supportive. Mainly this is true of her being Clark's sidekick, but at different times she's been supportive of Lana, Lois, the Justice League... she's very giving now.

I also like the connection made by others to the ghost inhabiting Chloe in "Tomb." I don't think Jor-el has anything to do with Chloe but... it's interesting.

[bobowayney]

I do know having Lionel being aware of the nature of her power is not a good thing, and somehow and in someway, Lex will find out and may end up killing Chloe

[ginnyfan]

It would be fun to see Lionel take an interest in Chloe, especially when she reappears at work right as rain.

[RedKRules]

Hopefully she wont get killed in the process:(

Let´s hope not !! :(:(

[susangail]

Because she feels so strongly and has the strongest sense of justice.

[All about Clark]

What I don't understand is why Chloe would ever have to save Clark.

She just did. She only saved Lex as a means to save Clark.

[smallvillefx]

Let´s hope not !! :(:(

But Clark wouldn't dare die knowing that Lois would kick his ass if Chloe died saving him:D

[UpandAtom]

I think that maybe her power originated in "Truth". Chloe was got the power to make others tell the truth, and at the end of the episode Clark pumped something into Chloe's heart to bring her back to liffe.

In "Cure" they said that Chloe's meteor power comes from the heart, so maybe whatever serum Clark dosed her with had a side effect, and it turned that truth power into a bringing people back to life power.

I think it would match perfectly given the nature of the meteor rocks. Chloe was brought back to life so she gets the power to do the same to others.

[Rockstar23]

i think that chloe might be immortal...just like clark- in "cure" the doctor dude curtis knocks wants to use chloes meteor rock infected heart to make his wife live forever... i dont think thats a coincedence...i really do hope thats what happens...freaking sweet

I like this idea, up and atom.

Giving the healing power to other characters won't make much sense as we all know that neither Lois, Jimmy or Lex has any powers in the mythos. We are not suppose to know if Lana is a force of good or evil as yet and Lionel's past would not make him an ideal candidate. So because of the good qualities Chloe has shown throughout the show (ie being a loyal and trusting sidekick) maybe she was the only one that can be trusted to use that power responsibly. I guess the question should be why that power? I think that question has already been discussed in other threads but as a lot of people has said maybe she is destine to play a significant part later in the show.
Whether her character will suffer as the consequences of that role, maybe but it probably won't be fatal.
Theories are flying back and forth linking Chloe's power with the situation of Alison's contract with the show. But the producers are smart (yes I can hear some of you laughing derisively at that) and they are not going to make any announcement on her contract until the end of the current series as it will give them more options with what to do with her character in the this series forthcoming cliffhanger.

Chloe was a meteor freak when she was a child (before her Scooby-days with Clark) because her mother controls only meteor freaks and she controlled Chloe at age 8.

I agree. Moira clearly states this as the reason she left Chloe.

IMO, Chloe's power is not latent but was controlled/suppressed by her mother. At the beginning of Progeny, Moira is shown holding a bracelet that she said later in the episode belonged to Chloe. Moira needed to have something that belonged to the meteor infected person to be able to control them. IMO, Moira used the bracelet to suppress/control Chloe's ability. While in her catatonic state that couldn't be changed. Only when Moira is brought out of her catatonic state by Lex's drug and gives the bracelet back to Chloe is that control removed. We then see the ability manifest itself when Lois is stabbed in Phantom.

Gotta love that picture, you avatar!

Yeah, I love it too!

She just did. She only saved Lex as a means to save Clark.

Point taken. For some reason it hadn't registered that what she did actually saved him. I figured that because Clark is Clark, he wouldn't die even if Lex did. This is some pretty deep storytelling. I definitely feel enlightened.

Excellent theory. I don't know if they will tell it or not but I really like this idea.

I think that maybe her power originated in "Truth". Chloe was got the power to make others tell the truth, and at the end of the episode Clark pumped something into Chloe's heart to bring her back to liffe.

In "Cure" they said that Chloe's meteor power comes from the heart, so maybe whatever serum Clark dosed her with had a side effect, and it turned that truth power into a bringing people back to life power.

I think it would match perfectly given the nature of the meteor rocks. Chloe was brought back to life so she gets the power to do the same to others.

Oh i never noticed that!
Good work :)

[Chloe_is_my_Hero]

I agree. She would either die, or have no heartbeat for the next 20 years. :)

I have had the feeling that they are sort of phasing Chloe out of her old role and into a new one. Lois and Lana are slowly taking on roles that used to be Chloe's in the show. But instead of looking at that negatively, I think it has the potential to free Chloe up to do something even more important. Either she is going to joint the JL with her abilities, and be another super-hero of some sort with her healing abilities, or she is going to sacrifice herself to save Clark's life. To be truthful, even though I absolutely love Chloe, I think either role would do her character justice. She could easily be a JLer, and Clark could just see her from time to time for the rest of their lives, and all's good. Or, Chloe could save Clark's life, die in Clark's arms, and be the true reason why Clark devotes himself to saving the world. That would be a proper ending for Chloe, and the only thing that could make it even better would be if there is a moment before Chloe dies when Clark tells her that he loves her, kisses her, and then she dies. *sigh*

You just gave me warm fuzzies with the last sentence of your post!

[Rockstar23]
