Lisa Davis

Lisa Davis

A quiet, somewhat shy student at Smallville High School and classmate of Clark Kent who harbors a crush on young Clark. Just as Superboy sometimes chafes at Lana Lang's tendency to not notice his mild-mannered alter ego, so too does Clark fail to realize Lisa's interest in him until Lana herself finally points Clark in the right direction. Lisa is completely unaware of Clark's dual identity as the Boy of Steel, and thus misinterprets his abrupt exits as a sign that he does not care. Apologies are made and the couple settles into a comfortable routine. Clark's self-esteem level rises as a result of Lisa's prodding him to stop making self-deprecating comments. Although details are never documented, it is assumed that their romance is short-lived, an evident consequence of possibly criminal deals made by Lisa's real estate agent father Malcolm Davis (NSB No. 40, Apr 1983: "Superboy No More!"; and others).
