Ed Burke was a corrupt U.S. Senator.

[edit] Early Life

He got the military to cooperate with Project Ares. In exchange, Lex Luthor transferred five million dollars to his account at the Cayman Islands. He intended to shut down the project because the Senate would have found out about the Project's true mission.

[edit] Season Six

Burke threatened to scrutinize all of LuthorCorp's business deals for the last twenty years if Lex exposed his role in the project. He was killed by Wes Keenan, while he was being interrogated by Lois Lane. Upon his death, his vacated Senate position was filled by Kansas State Senator Martha Kent.
