I sort of on-and-off ditched

There is so much more to MM than what you got to see on Smallville. They didn't show us his backstory at all, basically. An important part of why he is who he is as a character is tied up with his backstory. All the pain and loss that he has had to endure losing his world and his family, shaped him into a pure hero. He's determined to prevent what happened to Mars to happen to other planets.
