Dr. Smith is a main character portrayed by actor Gary Oldman in the 1998 Lost in Space movie. His character is similar to the original as first depicted, in the sense that this Smith also decided to try to sabotage the Jupiter mission, but this Smith is slightly more evil seeming. He is bitten by a space spider encountered aboard the wreck of the Proteus, and eventually mutates into the character "Spider Smith" which only existed in the alternate or time warp future dimension. His fate after this is unclear in the film, but he is still is a major character in the spinoff novels. He claims to have fought in "The Millennial Wars".
Trivia[]
- In real life around the Millennial time period a Conflict was being fought known as the War on Terrorism. Its possible that due to Smith opposing the united world governments Jupiter missions in the 2050s ,that Smith might have always been on this other side and thus he might have been helping the Anti-Allied faction in the Millennial Wars as well and in our own universe he would have been siding with the Terrorists in the War on Terrorism.
