* Nell Potter once had a romantic eye on Jonathan Kent, but she learned early that hope is no guarantee for security. So she became a "player" in Smallville by selling land to Lionel Luthor. She's developed a sharp eye for business and helped her orphaned niece, Lana, save the Talon Theatre, where Lana's parents met. But even though Nell is devoted to Lana, she'll allow the Talon to remain only as long as it's a business asset. *Source: Back of card.
