Lazarus Serum

From Smallville Wiki

Lazarus Serum is a healing serum concocted by Metron Pharmaceutical Labs made from Clark Kent's blood that gave a deceased human 12 hours of life. Lazarus would only work on those with liver diseases, apparently because the cells found within the human liver is the most resistant of all within the human body. It gave Vince Davis and Chad Nash (Adam Knight) chances at life, in order to suit the purposes of Lionel Luthor and Metron.

[edit] Notes

• The Lazarus Serum may be another one of Lionel's biblical allusions. In the New Testament, Lazarus was raised from the dead by Jesus.
• In the DC Comics continuity, the Lazarus Pit is a chemical bath used by Ra's al Ghul to restore life to the dying or recently deceased, himself in particular.
