Smallville: Leech (2002)
Season 1, Episode 12
10/10
Personality and Character Are What Matters
27 March 2006
While in the woods of Smallville searching for ores in an excursion of the school, Clark Kent saves the troubled teenager Eric Summers (Shawn Ashmore) from a fatal accident near a waterfall. However, a lightning strike them both and transfer the Clark's powers to Eric. Eric changes his personality becoming aggressive, while Clark tries to help him. Meanwhile, Lex Luthor is betrayed by his girlfriend Victoria Hardwick.

"Leech" is certainly the best episode of "Smallville" up to now. The original story, with Clark Kent "releasing the world from his shoulder", acting like a normal person, but keeping his strong personality and character, is remarkable. In the end, an important moral lesson about human character and role of the parents to build the personality of a son (or a daughter). My vote is ten.

Title (Brazil): "Sanguessuga" ("Leech")
