Lex Luthor’s Project Ares is finally unleashed, and the results are deadly. In this episode of Going Back to Smallville, we break down Season 6, Episode 21: Prototype, where Lex’s cybernetically enhanced super-soldier Wes Keenan is sent on a government-backed assassination mission. But when Lois recognizes Wes as an old friend, she’s caught in the crossfire of Lex’s twisted experiments. Meanwhile, Clark and Chloe uncover shocking connections between Wes, Level 33.1, and alien DNA, leading Clark to an unlikely source—Lana. Can Clark stop Lex’s newest weapon before it’s too late? And with Martha Kent stepping into the Senate, what does this mean for Lionel’s influence in Smallville? Join us as we dig into government conspiracies, mind control, and Lex’s darkest experiment yet!
