Desirée Atkins Luthor, also known as Allison Sanders, is a metahuman with the ability to use pheromones to manipulate the minds and hearts of men. She is currently imprisoned.

[edit] Powers and Abilities

Desirée was a teenager in Smallville during the 1989 meteor shower. She was with her boyfriend in an intimate moment when the meteors struck; as a result, she acquired the ability to generate scent-based pheromones in the form of a purple mist, which allow her to control the men around her.

Her powers seem to not affect Kryptonians like Clark Kent; he proved immune to her attempt to seduce him.

[edit] Early Life

Her boyfriend killed her parents, and she inherited their fortune. Five years later, she married a wealthy man and became a schoolteacher, but one of her students killed her husband. Again, she inherited a great deal of money, but she lost it in bad investments.

[edit] Season Two

She managed to seduce and marry Lex Luthor, continuing her pattern. She got a job as a biology teacher at Smallville High, but she failed to seduce Clark Kent, so she used her powers to convince Jonathan Kent to kill Lex. Clark was able to use his heat vision to save Lex, and Desirée was sent to prison. Her marriage to Lex was annulled. She is currently still in prison for attempted murder.
