History[]
Pre-Series[]
Robert and his wife were also members of a secret society of the richest families in Veritas, a group dedicated with protecting 'The Traveler', a being who they believed to bring hope and save the eart. He went along with Dr. Virgil Swann, Lionel Luthor, Edward and Genevieve Teague. Therefore, Dr. Swann's daughter Patricia, Lionel's son Lex Luthor, and the Teagues' son Jason were childhood friends. Lionel suggested that not only should they protect the young Kal-El, they could control him too with the Orb. However, both Robert and Dr. Swann disagreed, mostly because Lionel, Genevieve and Edward were too power hungry
Robert and Laura's deaths were arranged by Lionel, who wanted Clark to himself, after he sabotaged Robert and Laura's plane. Patricia Swann figured out Lionel orchestrated their murders from files in her dad's databases. She threatened to expose him.
