Hurts, doesn't it?
~ Jeremy to a "crucified" Clark Kent.
I'm not doing this for me. I'm doing this for you and for all the others like us.
~ Jeremy to Clark Kent about his reason for vengeance against the mistreatment of metahumans.

Jeremy Creek,  also known as The Electric Scarecrow, is a minor antagonist in season 1 of the WB/CW television series Smallville, serving as the main antagonist of the pilot episode.

He is the first meteor-infected metahuman with the ability to manipulate electricity who encountered and fought Clark Kent until he was cured and was the first freak-of-the-week in the series.

He was portrayed by Adrian McMorran, who also played Michael Amar in the Arrowverse.

Appearance[]

Early life[]

In 1989, Jeremy Creek was chosen to be Smallville High School's annual "Scarecrow," a cruel prank by football jocks who stripped him to his underwear and strung him up in a cornfield on a cross with an "S" painted on his chest. While on the cross, Jeremy saw a 9-year-old Lex Luthor and begged him for help. A moment later, the first meteor crash-landed nearby, causing a shockwave that hit Jeremy and Lex. The blast left Jeremy subsequently in a coma.

Pilot[]

Fifteen years later, Jeremy woke up from his coma without having aged and with the power to control electricity. He set off for Smallville to exact revenge upon the jocks who bullied him years earlier. He went to Smallville High and gazes at the football trophy case, then breaks it and steals a picture of three smiling football players, beginning with a mechanic named Frank. He had not aged a day and discovered that he now possessed electric metahuman abilities.

When Jeremy showed up at his mechanic shop, Frank recognized him as the scarecrow kid from 12 years ago. When Jeremy doesn't say anything Frank tired to shake him only to get electrocuted and fell to the floor. Asking him what he wanted after telling him it was just a game, Jeremy replies that he wants "to play". He then electrocutes Frank and held him up against a wall zapping him into a coma.

Jeremy later did the same to two other players. At the scene of the last crime, Pete Ross and Chloe Sullivan saw Jeremy sculling around after realizing they have never seen him at school before and that he was acting strange they quickly snap his picture. Later, he watched as Clark Kent was taken by Whitney Fordman and a few jocks to be that year's Scarecrow. Feeling that nothing ever changes, Jeremy decided to kill all the current students at the homecoming dance.

Jeremy found Clark strung-up just as he was just before the 1989 meteor shower and lamented that nothing had changed before heading off to kill the students at the Homecoming Dance. Clark asked him to free him but he refuses to help, telling Clark that he'll be safer where he is. Clark realizes that Jeremy planned to go to the homecoming dance and electrocute everyone there. Jeremy then left just as Lex is driving by. Lex sees Jeremy as he jumps the fence and he recognizes him from twelve years ago. Lex gets out his car to investigate but Jeremy slips away.

At the dance, everyone is having fun dancing but unknown to everyone inside Jeremy is about to set off the sprinkler system to get them wet for electrocution. Clark managed to get free and confronted Jeremy at Smallville High. He tries to connect to Jeremy telling him he understands his pain. But Jeremy is in denial that he is in pain and points out that the homecoming hazing needs to stop and that punishing everyone inside is the only way.

When Clark moves to block him, Jeremy tries to electrocute him only for Clark to be immune, Clark then grabs and throws Jeremy away from the sprinklers. The two battled and Clark warns him to give up but Jeremy then uses his electric powers to start a maintenance truck up. Jeremy tries to run Clark down with the truck but Clark grabs onto it causing Jeremy to crash into the building hitting a water main.

As the cab of the truck filled with water, he short-circuits himself. When Clark opens the door of the truck he notices Jermey has turned to his true age of 25, his powers were gone and ended up losing his memory of Clark. He asks Clark where he is and who Clark is. Clark introduces himself to Jermey and tells him he's in Smallville. Jeremy says that he just wants to go home and Clark nods.
