[edit] Powers and Abilities
Lindsey displayed most of the native Kryptonian abilities and was well known of how to use them since she only displayed them for less than 2 days since she was freed from the Kawatche Caves.
- Super strength: Lindsey was strong enough to Demolish a car, with her bare hands.
- Super speed: Lindsey was able to run from the Kents house to a nearby road in less then a second.
- Flight: Lindsey was able to fly Clark Kent to the Kawatche Caves.
- Super hearing: Lindsey was able to hear Agent Loder from a great distance.
She also displayed abilities that were not native Kryptonian abilities but were more implanted by Jor-El and were artificial abilities to make her stronger than most Kryptonians.
- Matter Manipulation: Lindsey was able to disintegrate both Agent Loder and his car.
Since Lindsey's abilities came from Jor-El, it's possible that she also possessed heat vision, invulnerability, x-ray vision, microscopic vision, telescopic vision and super breath. However, she never demonstrated them in the episode.
[edit] Early Life
During the first meteor shower, she and her mother were traveling along Route 8, returning to their home in Illinois when their car was struck by a meteor. Her mother was killed, but her body was never found. Jor-El took her inside the cave and brainwashed her to be used when he needed her.
[edit] Season Three
Lindsey as Kara came out of the woods, naked, and used super strength to demolish a car. She arrived at the Kent Farm and greeted Clark, introducing herself as "Kara from Krypton."
Upon receiving some clothes, she claimed to have come from the Kawatche Caves and told the Kents she was there to take Clark home to fulfill his destiny, and warned that everyone he knows would betray him. Lindsey-as-Kara took Clark flying to the cave and revealed that she has been in the cave waiting for the time to be right. Clark declined her offer to go into a passageway to find out everything. The next day, she revealed to the family that Jonathan broke the covenant: that in return for the power he received to bring Clark home, Jonathan would return Clark to Jor-El.
As Agent Loder listened in, Lindsey (as Kara) sensed him and murdered him by disintegrating him and his car. Kara warned Clark that he and she were the last Kryptonians alive and they must preserve their race. When Clark learned of Lex's room of obsession and after Lana left for Paris, Kara comforted Clark and promised to take him to Lara. Clark and Kara prepared to "leave" but Chloe identified her fingerprints as those of Lindsey Harrison. They discovered that Jor-El had used her to lure Clark to him. Jor-El transported her into a pocket Phantom Zone in the Caves.
It is possible that she survived, but has not appeared since.
[edit] Season Seven
After Clark encounters another girl named Kara in the second episode of season seven, he goes to the Fortress of Solitude and questions Jor-El about her, during which he mentions Lindsey.
[edit] Notes
- In character, her attitude toward humans is reminiscent of Ursa, the super villain that appeared as an enemy of Superman in the theatrical film Superman II, played by actress Sarah Douglas. The character wondered at Superman's affection for the humans guessing that he cared for them like pets.
- Kara Zor-El is Clark's cousin in the comics, Kara Zor-El's father being Zor-El, the brother of Jor-El and Nim-El.
- The real Kara took part of Smallville in Season 7 as Supergirl.
- Lindsey walking naked is similar to how in the comic books Kara Zor El was first seen in the modern continunity walking naked in Gotham city aimlessly and confused.
[edit] Quotes
Kara: You shouldn't involve yourself in their problems.
Clark: Lex is my friend. I want to help him.
Kara: You can't trust him.
Clark: You don't know him.
Kara: I don't have to. It's human nature. It's just who they are.
Clark: They happen to be the people that I care about.
Kara: Which is why it'll be that much harder when they all betray you. I can understand why you're scared. This is all you know. But you're not meant for this world, Kal-El. You were meant for mine.
Clark: I can't fly.
Kara: Not yet. This is just the beginning, Kal-El. You have no idea how powerful you'll become.
