Smallville's take on Green Lantern's greatest foe.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Smallville’s comic series has done an incredible job of recreating the Green Lantern mythos and its connection to Parallax. Parallax, the greatest threat to the Green Lantern Corps, has taken many forms and has used many Lanterns as a vessel. However, in this alternate Superman continuity, Parallax has become a simple and dangerous threat thanks to the changes made to the villain's backstory.

While the TV series included a version of Green Lantern in the two-part Season 9 episode “Absolute Justice,” that was the old Justice Society of America Green Lantern from long ago. Instead, the comics introduce a more contemporary version of the character, with John Stewart serving as Green Lantern in Smallville canon. Stewart finds himself taken over by the evil Parallax, and he is forced to battle the young Superman.

As an avatar of fear, Parallax deserves to be treated with respect and with fewer convoluted backstories. Smallville Explores the Parallax Threat - Without the Extra Baggage Superman Easily Takes Care of the Notoriously Convoluted Parasite Parallax takes over John Stewart, and he becomes a Yellow Lantern, but Superman snaps John Stewart out of his trance and gets the parasite to leave his body.
