Smallville Quote
Clark: I don't understand. None of this makes any sense.
Lionel: It was when Lex was possessed with Zod. I became possessed with all your father's knowledge. I found myself writing, in Kryptonian, the symbol for power.
Martian Manhunter: It was a beacon. The same beacon Jor-El used when he needed me.
Clark: You knew my father?
Martian Manhunter: I worked for Jor-El, bringing criminals to justice. When Krypton was on the verge of annihilation, he asked me to keep an eye out for you.
Clark: Where have you been all these years?
Martian Manhunter: Watching from a distance.
Lionel: Your father wanted you to pass the test without any help. He wasn't to interfere unless it was absolutely necessary.
Martian Manhunter: When you unleashed those phantoms, your life was at stake. I didn't have a choice.
Lionel: Like what happened at the docks in Seattle.
Clark: When that phantom infected my mind?
Lionel: That's right.
Martian Manhunter: Unfortunately, I've lost a step since then.
Clark: What happened?
Martian Manhunter: Nothing.
[Clark opens Martian Manhunter's jacket and sees he was injured]
Clark: That doesn't look like nothing.
Martian Manhunter: I had a run-in with the last phantom. I have to leave Earth's atmosphere to heal, but first I must complete the job I started.
