Did you know that Amy Adams, currently preparing to walk down the red carpet for the Man of Steel premiere, where she’ll be playing Lois Lane, was once one of the “freak-of-the-week” Kryptonite-powered villains in The CW’s Smallville?You probably didn’t–while it’s hardly classified information, nobody much seems to have picked up on it yet in spite of the fact that it’s already been widely reported that Adams tried out for the role of Lois Lane in 2005’s Superman Returns.So far, it seems like she dodged a bullet there.In any event, she was in the first-season episode “Craving,” in which she played an obese classmate of Clark, Pete and Lana’s who had a crush on Pete Ross. Unfortunately, her physiology led her to try all kinds of experimental diets, one of which saw her eat Kryptonite. Suddenly, she could hyper-metabolize and become the skinny Amy Adams that everyone who watched The Office shortly thereafter came to love.The problem? She became ravenous, lost control of her faculties and began feeding on fatty tissue–hospitalizing a classmate who was cruel to her and almost eating Pete until they managed to get her help.This unfortunate and fairly likable (she did her best not to kill anyone) antagonist’s name? Jodi Melville.Get it? Melville? As in Herman, of Moby-Dick fame? Geez, these fat jokes are funny.The character recently resurfaced in the Smallville Season Eleven comic–kind of. She was seen only briefly, on Earth-2, and was killed when she rampaged through the Smallville’s graduation day.
