Snake and one of his thugs mugged Martha Kent outside of a Metropolis homeless shelter in Suicide Slums. They managed to steal a watch that belonged to her late husband Jonathan.

Clark tried get Andrea to calm down, but she incapacitated him with a piece of Kryptonite she kept in her locket. Andrea demanded to now why Snake killed her mother and Snake admitted that he had been hired by Lionel Luthor.
Against Clark's protest and pleas, Andrea wasn't forgiving and took Snake's knife stabbing him with it.

He was prepared to kill him, unknowingly pulling him away from the Kryptonite and Clark dispatches him. Clark returned home and later got the watch back after it was found in a pawn shop by Lana Lang.
