Sasha Woodman, aka The Queen Bee, is a recurring antagonist appearing in the WB/CW TV series Smallville.
In Season One, she was portrayed by Shonda Farr and in Season Seven, she was portrayed by Jovanna Huguet.
Powers and Abilities
Sasha had the ability to control bees after being stung by a Kryptonite-infected hive. Her abilities were supposedly removed by Curtis Knox.
Season One
Sasha was obsessed with becoming Class President, and she repeatedly stated that her parents expected it of her. She was stung more than a thousand times in Shuster's Gorge (the location of the deepest meteor hit) by Africanized bees, which were apparently infected by Kryptonite. Although allergic to bee stings, Sasha somehow survived the attack and later discovered that she had the power to control the bees as if she were the hive queen.
Paul Chan is attacked by a swarm of bees.
She ran as a candidate in freshman year, but according to Pete Ross, "she's more of a worker than a leader". When Clark Kent entered the election, Sasha sees them planning and rips down one of Clark's posters in anger. When she goes home, she goes to the shed in the back yard. It is decorated with a banner reading "Campaign Headquarters".
Sasha uses her powers to summon bees.
She adds Clark's campaign poster to her collection of the opposition. The ceiling of the shed is covered with enormous honeycombs. A swarm of bees forms the shape of her face. Sasha tries to talk Felice into dropping out of the race. Felice blows her off and Sasha warns that she did ask nicely. Later, Principal Kwan discovers Felice in her car covered in bees.
She used her powers to get rid of her competition, putting two students in the hospital. Clark and Pete realize that this is more than a coincidence. They remember that bees attacked Sasha last year in Shuster's Gorge, the deepest meteor crater in Lowell County. They theorize that now she is controlling them. When Sasha asks Clark to drop out of the race, he confronts her about the bees.
She tried to get rid of Clark, but the bees turned on her and put her in a coma.
Season Seven
Six years later, Sasha reappeared in Smallville at the Talon. Chloe Sullivan recognized her and talked to her in the alley, where Sasha revealed that she had not escaped from Belle Reve like Chloe thought, but had been "cured" by Dr. Curtis Knox. Sasha then said that she no longer had her abilities and that she had also forgotten the past six years. After Chloe went back to the Talon, Knox came up to Sasha's vehicle and knocked her out. He later operated on her again and murdered her. He took her body to a fertilizer plant in Smallville where he encountered Lex and had a confrontation.
In the Comics
In the comics, several recurring enemies of the Justice League have gone by the name "Queen Bee." While Sasha is never directly referred to by this name, the term is used in both "Drone" and "Cure" to describe her powers.
