bullet::::- in the "smallville" finale of season 9, a mysterious elderly woman appears in metropolis general hospital, and enters the room of tess mercer shortly after mercer's death. after much fan speculation that this woman might be granny goodness, it was confirmed by tom welling in an interview that she, along with other female furies would be featured in season 10. the credits of the season 9 finale list nancy amelia bell as granny goodness. actress christine willes played the character in subsequent episodes. in the season 10 episode 8, "abandoned", tess mercer finds a music box at the luthor mansion, seemingly left as a gift. the box leads tess and clark kent to an orphanage run by granny goodness. it is revealed that granny is erasing the memories (or traumas) of abandoned or orphaned girls, after which they are trained into ferocious warriors who were forging green kryptonite weapons for a future assault on earth. granny admits to being the one who brought tess from her deathbed to cadmus labs where she made a full recovery from her burns. granny also explains that tess' training was interrupted when she was removed from the facility. granny also tells tess that her parents were powerful and they would have taken tess away from her if she had not fought back and says that her female furies will take care of clark and locks tess in her childhood room. after being attacked and tortured by the furies, granny says she will remove his memories and that his life will be better without a painful past. as she starts the memory wipe process, clark uses his super arctic breath to freeze a cage over a kryptonite forge that is weakening him and finds that granny escaped. clark defeats granny' female warriors, the furies, and rescues tess from death by hanging. later, granny goodness meets with two other minions of darkseid, desaad and godfrey who discuss that their unholy trinity is complete and they can create an army for the dark force: granny wipes people's memories, desaad binds people's bodies, and godfrey breaks people's spirits. eventually in episode "prophecy", granny goodness follows oliver queen's footsteps in finding the bow of orion - a powerful weapon once wielded by darkseid's son orion (who was raised by a being who was devoted to spreading light like darkseid was devoted to spreading darkness and that entity's influence helped him become an ally to the side of good) that was used by him to prevent his malevolent father from taking over earth in the past. she destroys the bow and manages to completely bring oliver under darkseid's control (since she can control those wearing the omega brand, the mark of evil, on his forehead and desaad had tattooed the brand on his skull) by sending him to find gold kryptonite so it can be used to stop clark from preventing darkseid's return by permanently stripping clark's powers. her last appearance is in the series finale where she visited tess at the luthor mansion and pleaded her to join darkseid, telling her that darkseid's planet apokolips was upon them and that only his followers would be saved. when tess refused to join, granny sadly bid tess a goodbye and left. along with desaad and gordon godfrey, she tasked oliver with placing the gold kryptonite wedding ring on clark's finger to take away his powers permanently, but clark managed to remove oliver's omega brand. later, as apokolips eclipsed earth, granny, desaad and godfrey were confronted by oliver just as the minions of darkseid were declaring their victory. shocked that oliver's omega symbol had been cleansed, granny and the others (desaad and godfrey) tried to kill him but before she could, oliver raised his bow, fired three special arrows, and destroyed the prophets who disappeared in a cloud of black smoke, destroyed once and for all. granny has the power to remove people's memories which is so painful that it causes them to go unconscious. granny also has the power to alter or read people's memories since while she was torturing clark she knew that jor-el had disowned him and his earthly father jonathan's death. granny goodness seems to have the powers of telekinesis and heat manipulation when she summoned the bow of orion into her hand and destroyed it. and lastly, granny has the power to scare or intimidate people as seen in "abandoned" when she scared a girl named haley before wiping her mind clean. granny has no problems wiping her victims' minds clean although she considered tess her favorite orphan.
