First off, apologies if this post seems to be long. I don't mean for it to be that long.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Trapper

This is the Wiki article on the Time Trapper.

They refer to it as a male, but the Time Trapper was never actually revealed in a physical form, only that it borrowed the usage of other people. Such as Superboy Prime.

The first point I'd like to make is this, having Chloe become a nearly God-like villain, is both a blessing and a curse.
The character of Chloe has shown signs for awhile of being down the road of a villain.

The list isn't annoyingly long, but the highlights include killing Sebastian Kane, (not Brainiac, because Brainiac would have zero reasons to kill him), he gave her power, not the lack of morals to choose it.

Creating the stockpiles against the Kandorians, stockpiles including Anti-Air weaponry. It's a war crime to fire Anti-Air at people. I somehow doubt the Kandorians were going to fly planes.
Why not the Fatman from Fallout 3? Oliver has the mini-nukes. :)

Wanting to learn the Truth about Clark Kent via her truth serum ability all the way back in Season 3. This could be considered the "Oh, obviously." point, looking back at it.
And a host of others.

Having her become the Time Trapper with his/her powers would allow Smallville to explain their big issues in the comics.
Killing Livewire, causing Parasite to be completely different, the lack of consistency regarding many plotholes.
When you manipulate time on a grand scale, you can cause problems.

In fact, actually making her the Time Trapper would work even more, because, and the big thing, is that in the comics, Superman isn't known for being wrong that much.

Sure, he believes in being nice, but that's he used to be able to shatter planets with a single punch. :)
The big thing, is that with Clark on Smallville, he's barely right. For him to truly become Superman, Chloe must be the villain, and her being right should be negated.

It seems to be Chloe more than not. This cannot be.

So, I'm thinking if she becomes the Time Trapper, this allows the big problems to be fixed. Along with the problems I can't even get into, because it would take hours to write down.. :)

The risk is there, I agree, with making her the Time Trapper. However, it makes a lot more sense, going by how the character has been portrayed then her being the next Dr. Fate.
Mostly because Dr. Fate's helmet (or him I guess) is supposed to not let you tap into his power if you're evil, like Icicle. Though, I could be wrong.

By the way, the Time Trapper is also famous for locking Superman in the pocket universe, where he finally, in the modern era, killed Zod and his two minions in there, who had killed off all life on Earth, and ripped off the atmosphere. They threatened to go to Clark's world, and do the same.

Superman killed them, then when he came back to Earth, he exiled himself in what's known as the Exile Arc, leading him to Mongol.

However, the Exile Arc causes a problem because Mongol destroyed Coast City in later comics.

This means that Superman is responsible for the deaths of 9 million people.:wow:

Thank you for reading my post.
Any comments, questions, Lol wuts, or anything are welcome. As long as it's nice.

You seem like a friendly group of Smallville fans. So hopefully you won't set me on fire. :hehe:

Hmmm...I'm thinking that in the Smallvilleverse, they are planning on making Chloe the next Dr. Fate actually.

I would be ok with it to be honest.
 
Judging from the trailer, I'm thinking that too now.
 
<Runs around on fire> AHHH! I should have said give me money!

The thing is, Dr. Fate Chloe would be catastrophically bad.
Especially with her somewhat obvious lust for power. The only way it would go well, is if it allowed for her to become the Time Trapper, because of her craving power.

They make her Dr. Fate and I guarantee you they will lose a huge chunk of their fanbase. :) And that includes the Chloe fans. :)
Dr. Fate is the second most Powerful Sorcerer in the DC comics universe. Right behind the Spectre.
Does Chloe deserve to have a power that can compare to God's Aspect of Vengeance? No, unless she becomes the Time Trapper.

I know Supergirl became an Angel in the comics, Don't ask, it happened, but still.

Chloe should not become a thousand times more powerful than Zatanna, in the ways of magic.

Revealing the entire show to be the dream of Superman in the future would be less damaging than having Chloe become the next Dr. Fate.

Unless it's only a brief moment, and it leads to corruption.
I don't want to fix this by contacting the Costa Nostra you know. :) But I might have to.

The Chloe fanbase would explode in joy if she became Dr. Fate. IMO.
 
Well, the more crazy fans, yes. The ones that make stalkers look friendly. :)

But the normal Chloe fans, such as me, although I like every character? They would abandon the show.

I don't think Smallville would go that route, only because it would be a death sentence for the show.
There are not enough Chloe fans to justify her being Dr. Fate for any more than a brief moment.

Time Trapper makes vastly more sense. Even with the Dr. Fate helmet being held by her.
I'm sorry. It would literally be the death of the show.

Killing Superman off, would cause less problems. :) That tells you something.

PLus, why would Smallville give up the ability to help out DC comics? Giving the Time Trapper an identity?
Plus, they could explain every plothole via Chloe/Time Trapper's interference.

It's a free pass!
Not to mention, Chloe being the villain is the most logical conclusion for her character based on her entire career.

She wouldn't be, it would all be Nabu, not Chloe.

I wouldn't mind it too much. This is a different universe, so why couldn't she take up the mantle. I mean, she already follows a mother who is crazy, so the crazies wouldn't bother her too much. Plus she's already used to all the superhero craziness.

Overall, for the final season, that would be an ok direction for her.

Edit: Chloe has no 'normal' fans. :p
 
Yeah, but the fact remains, Chloe being the Villain makes a lot more sense than her being Dr. Fate.

Yes, I know they probably don't want to do that. But I don't know, they can't expect the fans to like her being Dr. Fate.
I'm sorry. It can't work.

Plus, again, power corrupts, and her destiny was mapped out long before Absolute Justice.

Time Trapper or bust, if you will. :)

Time Trapper would be perfect just for the ability to have her be the one behind the scenes, manipulating it all.
Yes, the Time Trapper is really powerful, He/she is more powerful than Darkseid, and even Dr. Fate. :)

Dr. Fate can't alter time to his advantage. :)
 
Not sure why making her a villian would be any more accepted by her 'normal' fans than being Dr. Fate would.

I would think they would be crazy mad for either direction if that was the case.
 
After all the changes Smallville has done with the DC mythos, I think Chloe becoming Dr. Fate should not surprise anyone and I don't think people will jump ship after sticking with a show for 9 years over it.
 
I'll begrudgingly accept it, but I won't be happy.
Also, why pick her anyway? I don't think she deserves Dr. Fate's power.

Time Trapper makes more sense due to how she's been written for at least the past 3 years.
Dr. Fate doesn't seem to me to want to be attached to someone of moral dubiousness. :)
And Chloe is like Black Adam in that aspect.
If she had Black Adam's strength, she'd rip off someone's legs too.

To be honest, they have written her character such that it makes me wonder if Josef Mengele isn't Chloe's Great-Grandfather. :(

If they made her Dr. Fate, I'd have to force my way into being their head writer and fix it. :) And my sense of humor is not fit for 8:00 PM TV shows. :)
And who wants to see Superman make really bad jokes?
Also, I'd introduce Pink Kryptonite for the Lolz. Sorry, I would. Yes, it makes Superman gay.

The thing is, I'm not joking, I would become their head writer. I know people. :)
No, the people I know don't have Italian sounding names.

david some interesting thoughts there. Though i doubt anything like that will happen with chloe. She will probably just be remaining a regular person who loves to work with and help super folks out. as for what they will do with chloe now she is going to be in the comics is up in the air right now.
 
Yeah. True. But hey, Smallville could explain their whoops moments, and give DC comics a perfect way to put Chloe into the comics, as the Time Trapper.

The history of the character on the show might need some adjustment, :) , but it would allow for Brainiac's "What the hell are you?" line to really make sense.

Plus, The Time Trapper would laugh at Darkseid's Omega Beams. Much like Superman does or should... :)
 
Wouldnt it make more sense if the show ends with Chloe becoming the new Dr. Fate and having to make some kind of sacrifice wherein she has to wipe every trace of her past existence from the timeline.
Every finale needs a poignant, bittersweet element and having the show end with all of her friends having no recollection of her would do it for me...
 
i serious doubt she would be the next dr. fate, she could easily just be grabbing it and nabu and hear have a little chic chat about clark or something. Or maybe she does put the helmet on but nabu doesnt work for her and sends her away.

Not sure, now that they've announced Chloe being officially introduced to the comics. I'm really curious what they have planned for her character in the comics, and just how involved they plan to make her.

Whew, you see, this is something I wouldn't mind.
Nabu isn't stupid. :)
And I would imagine even the Time Trapper would be affected by magic.
But the point remains, her being the Time Trapper is a more vastly logical outcome.

You see, the big big thing, is that if she becomes Dr. Fate, Clark on Smallville has to become Superboy-Prime. :(
There is no way around this.
Proving Clark wrong is one thing, but being rewarded by it by becoming Dr. Fate? Only in the event that Clark really is Superboy-Prime, could they do that.

And let's face it, they wouldn't pull the Clark is evil trick on us. Which is the only way Chloe as Dr. Fate could happen.
They cannot win with that...
