Sheriff Nancy Adams is voted the new sheriff in town when former sheriff Ethan, a good friend of Jonathan Kent, is found for attempted murder of Lionel Luthor. Hard-cracking, no-nonsensical, and skeptical yet impressed by Clark Kent, Sheriff Adams worked hard to secure safety in the town amongst criminal minds and meteor-infected victims. Unfortunately, she met her demise when a fellow member of the police department gunned her down during a lockdown of the Luthor mansion. Resurrected as government agent, Nancy Adams, in Season 7, was she really killed at the Luthor home or was it a ruse?
