Pete Dinsmore

From Smallville Wiki

Pete Dinsmore was the father of Emily Dinsmore. His daughter Emily died when she was a little girl. He moved away from Smallville to Granville, and eventually began experimenting with cloning. He was able to use meteor rocks to accelerate the growth of cloned bunnies. When he applied this technology to his daughter, he had mixed results. He was able to clone his daughter successfully, but the accelerated growth causes severe genetic defects; specifically, she had no moral center, no conscience. At one point, when she became frustrated with her father, she ran him through with a lawn ornament. He recovered, but he was not permitted to continue working on the project until they ran into trouble. Emily learned that her super speed afforded her the additional ability to pass through solid objects. She walked right out of her prison, and Lionel asked Mr. Dinsmore to help him find her. Unfortunately, as soon as he found her, she killed him.
