Character history

In ''The Sarah Jane Adventures'', Luke is the adoptive son of Sarah Jane Smith and a creation of an alien species called the Bane. The Bane created Luke, or "the Archetype" as they called him, from thousands of samples of various people touring the ''Bubble Shock!'' factory. He contains the sum of the strengths and weaknesses of all the scanned visitors, including an exceptional eidetic memory. He has no navel as he was grown artificially, but despite this he is essentially human.
