His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He and his father both held an irrational hatred of meteor freaks and metahumans.
- When his father became infected during the second meteor shower, Gabriel killed him at his request.
- Used his father's military credentials to gain access to a nuclear missile with the intention of detonating it over Smallville in order to kill all meteor freaks. Not caring about all the innocence who would also die as a result of this.
- He also shot the two soldiers he had forced to help him launch the missile at Smallville, even though they were begging for mercy and did what he asked them to do.
- When Clark Kent and Chloe Sullivan intervene, Gabriel fatally shoots Clark and temporarily kills him before Jor-El revives him at a horrible price.
- This price ended up being the death of Jonathan Kent, making Gabriel indirectly responsible for the death of Clark's adoptive father.
- He kidnaps Chloe and later tries to kill her after she tries to escape.
- Despite believing himself to be a well intentioned extremist and stating that his methods are necessary. His intentions are ultimately rooted in xenophobia and incredibly hypocritical on top of that, as the vast majority of the people he was going to kill weren't meteor freaks but innocent people. Furthermore, his motive rant all but states that his goal is to be seen as a hero for eliminating all meteor freaks, making his actions more self serving and egotistical than anything else.
- Even though he called Chloe and told her to get out of Smallville before launching the missile, he only did this so she could write a story about his so-called "heroism."
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He cared about his father, even though he killed him. When Chloe confronts him on this towards the end of the episode, Gabriel reveals his father asked him to kill him and while explaining this, Gabriel can be heard sniffling and his voice breaking, indicating that he didn't want to do it.
