In Smallville: The Complete Ninth Season, the young Clark Kent finally embraces his alien heritage and isolates himself to focus on Jor-El's training, causing his relationship with Chloe and Oliver to suffer. He has a new costume with the family crest on his chest, the iconic Superman logo or S Shield. As The Blur, he sets out performing heroic endeavors, sometimes assisted by Lois, who he officially becomes romantically involved with. Meanwhile, there are other Kryptonians on Earth who are led by the villainous Zod. He has plans to take over Earth and turn it into another Krypton. DC Comics characters the shape-shifting Wonder Twins, magical Zantanna, villain Metallo, villainess Agent Amanda Waller and Justice Society of America's Dr. Fate, Hawkman and Stargirl appear this season, making Smallville: The Complete Ninth Season a must see.
