This week: Chloe Sullivan!
Chloe Sullivan first appeared in the Smallville pilot (2001) as one of Clark's friends and the editor of the Torch, the school newspaper. She was also into researching all the strange things that have happened in Smallville and chronicled them on her Wall of Weird. And she's Lois Lane's cousin. As she got older, she got into hacking, got a job at the Daily Planet, and started dating Jimmy Olsen.
Chloe - or rather, her name - made two cameo appearances in Superman: Secret Origin. In Secret Origin #1 (September 2009), her name appears on a cast...
...and in Secret Origin #4 (January 2010), Lois has a Post-It reminding her to call Chloe.
She made her first official appearance in DC Comics in the Jimmy Olsen back-up feature of Action Comics #893 (September 2010). The comics character combines Chloe's journalistic background of the early Smallville seasons with her relationship with Jimmy Olsen of the later seasons.
That's pretty much it for her, though she did get a mention on Supergirl, in the episode "Midvale" (November 2017). Kara mentions Clark has a friend named Chloe who's good at hacking and has a Wall of Weird.
She has not appeared in the New 52 or Rebirth, and I highly doubt she will. Chloe's actor, Allison Mack, has gotten into some pretty serious legal trouble lately, and while I won't get into the nature of her alleged crimes, suffice to say it's tainted her and the character pretty permanently, I suspect.
