Jodi Melville

From Smallville Wiki

Jodi Melville was a somewhat overweight teenager who was obsessed with becoming thin, with a slight crush on Pete Ross due to him being one of the few people at school to be nice to her. Her latest diet plan included vegetable shakes in which unknowingly used meteor rock-infected vegetables. The results were dramatic; she lost 60 pounds in two days, but she was so hungry she had to suck the fat out of other people like a vampire, her body losing fat too fast for regular food to keep up. She devoured a deer after she hit it with her car and subsequently put Dustin Crenshaw- who had teased her when she was fat- into a coma. She was nearly driven to eat Pete when she suffered another hunger attack, but Clark Kent interrupted her before she could finish. She battled Clark in the meteor rock-laced greenhouse, rendering him weak enough for her to knock him down with a shovel. Just as she was about to kill Clark, the sight of her reflection drove her to try and kill herself by triggering a gas explosion in the greenhouse by destroying the ultraviolet lights after breaking open the gas pipes. Despite his weakness, Clark managed to save her, him and Peter subsequently taking her to Metropolis General Hospital.

[edit] Notes

• Jodi was the first meteor freak who was actively reluctant to kill others despite possessing a hostile power; Sean Kelvin, who, like Jodi, drew what he lacked from others to survive- body heat in his case- actually seemed eager to absorb the heat from others despite his knowledge that it would kill them, regardless of their identities, but Jodi's only pre-selected victim was Dustin, who she had already had a grudge against for his past treatment of her.
