Nam-Ek & Aethyr
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nam-Ek and Aethyr are two Kryptonians who appeared on the TV show Smallville during its fifth season.
[edit] Background
Nam-Ek and Aethyr are the two Disciples of Zod. They are two Kryptonians that came to Earth in the second meteor shower. Lana saw them come out of their spaceship after her helicopter had crashed. When the local police tried to shoot them, they retaliated by blowing up their cars with heat vision. The aliens were sent to Earth by their master, General Zod, to look for Kal-El, a.k.a. Clark, and terrorized the town in search of him. Lana finally lured them to the Luthor Mansion on the advice of Lionel (who was in a Kryptonian trance), who told her that the Kryptonite in the vault of the mansion was their weakness. They soon realized it was a trap, however, and subdued Lana, knocking her out. Clark then arrived, and the aliens tried to persuade him to join them, but Clark refused. Aethyr then threw a Phantom Zone bracelet to trap Clark and neutralize him. However, he managed to wriggle free and throw them inside the Phantom Zone, which then flew through a window of the Luthor Mansion and disappeared. They then appeared in the season six episode Zod while they were in the Phantom Zone. Nam-Ek was killed by Raya after she cut his throat with a knife. Aethyr then stabs Raya with a knife as most of the phantoms are sucked through the portal, including her, leading them to Earth. Nam-Ek is dead but Aethyr appears to still be alive although she has yet to be shown again. It is possible that she is now back on Earth.
[edit] Powers and Abilities
Nam-Ek and Aethyr both have super-strength, speed, invulnerability, heat vision, x-ray vision, and super-hearing. Aethyr seems to be a skilled fighter which may come from her being a "Disciple of Zod". Nam-Ek showed no actual fighting skills while on Earth and in the Phantom Zone so it is unknown whether he learned any skills while under Zod's command.
