Tina Greer was a metahuman shapeshifting teenager from Smallville. When she was introduced in season 1, she had accidentally killed her mother during an argument and tried to kill Clark Kent after he found out the truth, and then posed as Lana Lang’s boyfriend in an attempt to imprison Lana and take her place. She was then taken to a mental institution.
In season 2, episode 11, she escaped and realized that she didn’t envy Lana, rather, she was in love with her, and again posed as Lana’s boyfriend. After she was discovered, she took Clark’s form and was tracked down by the real Clark just after she told Lana she loved her. The two fought and she accidentally impaled herself through the chest. In her last words, Tina asked Clark to take care of Lana.
