====Creation====
The [[Bane]]'s invasion of [[Earth]] depended on getting as many people as possible under their control. Their strategy was to use a Bane secretion as an ingredient in an extremely popular soft drink... but approximately 2% of the Human population was immune to the effect. In order to get the last remaining 2% to accept [[Bubble Shock!]]'s "[[Bane (ingredient)|special ingredient]]", they created the Archetype from thousands of samples of various entrants to the Bubble Shock! tour, including [[Maria Jackson]] and [[Kelsey Harper]]. However, when Kelsey inadvertently sets off an alarm by using her mobile phone, the ensuing events cause the Archetype to awaken and escape, joining Maria and Sarah Jane and instantly befriending them. Later he effortlessly memorises a very long string of numbers that he uses to defeat the Bane, and destroy the Bubble Shock! factory. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Invasion of the Bane]]'')
 
====Adoption====

After Sarah Jane suggested several names, including "Alistair" (after [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|the Brigadier]]) and "Harry" (after [[Harry Sullivan]]), Sarah Jane suggested "Luke" (she said it's what she would have called her son, but she never had any). Sarah Jane had [[Mr Smith]] create adoption papers for Luke and took him in as her son. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Invasion of the Bane]]'')
 
====Adventures with Clyde and Maria====
Over the next few months Luke slowly learned about the world around him, and successfully aided Sarah Jane, Maria and [[Clyde Langer]] in combating alien threats on several occasions. He demonstrated exceptional intelligence and eidetic memory along with almost complete naiveté about human nature which, while being a great asset to the team, has also been a problem, such as when he inadvertently aided the [[Slitheen]] in their plan to harvest the energy of the sun. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Revenge of the Slitheen]]'')

He was given an ancient talisman by an elderly woman and told to keep it a secret, but was exposed by [[Mr. Smith]]. Knowing the importance of secrets, he expressed guilt at not keeping his, but was ultimately pleased with the outcome as the talisman was actually a key to a portal that allowed evil [[Gorgon]]s to enter the world; his exposure also lead to their defeat. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Eye of the Gorgon]]'')

When he was captured by the [[Uvodni]] General [[Uvlavad Kudlak]] along with Clyde, and several other teenagers from around [[England]] ,he successfullescaped from imprisonment on the alien ship and ultimately exposed a plot by the [[Mistress]], thereby freeing the captives. He earned his first kiss from one of the captives, [[Jen (Warriors of Kudlak)|Jen]], which bewildered and confused him. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Warriors of Kudlak]]'')

Mysterious TV reports were later seen by the team implying that Luke was actually Ashley, the child of [[Jay Stafford|Jay]] and [[Heidi Stafford]], who has been missing for three months. While Mr. Smith initially confirmed that he is a genetic match with the missing boy, and he was returned to his supposed parents. Mr. Smith was actually working with the parents, who are [[Slitheen]], to capture Luke and, using the [[MITRE headset|MITRE]][[MITRE headset| headset]] from the [[Pharos Institute]] to amplify his latent [[telekinetic]] powers to make [[the Moon]] crash into the [[Earth]].

Luke was later introduced to [[Jack Harkness]], [[Martha Jones|Martha]], [[Rose Tyler|Rose]], [[Donna Noble|Donna]] and [[Harriet Jones]] via [[subwave network]] when the [[Dalek]]s transported Earth into the [[Medusa Cascade]]. He aided their efforts to contact [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]] with the idea of using Mr. Smith to link telephone exchanges and boost the signal. He then "met" the Doctor via the subwave communications network. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth]]'')
 
====Departure of Maria====

Luke saw off the [[Sontaran]] [[Kaagh]] (the last survivor of the [[Sontaran invasion of Earth]]) who wanted to destroy the earth by dropping satellites. [[Alan Jackson|Maria's father]] had a job offer to move to [[Washington, D.C.]] and she decided to let him take it. Six weeks later, she moved out. ([[SJA]]: ''[[The Last Sontaran]]'') They still kept in touch using e-mail ([[SJA]]: ''[[The Day of the Clown]]'') and via alien technology ([[SJA]]: ''[[The Mark of the Berserker]]''). Luke was sad that Maria had left and didn't think it would be the same without her. But luckily him and Rani saw her again when Maria and her Dad helped out when Clydes dad went mad. Luke was upset when Maria couldn't come to Sarah Janes wedding with her exams coming up.

====Meeting Rani====
[[Rani Chandra]], a teenage aspiring journalist, moved into Maria's old addres (36 Bannerman Road) and joined [[Sarah Jane]], Luke and [[Clyde Langer|Clyde]] in defeating the [[Pied Piper]]. [[Sarah Jane Smith|Sarah Jane]] orderd Luke to look after Rani so she won't find out about what they do. Luke failed and Rani joined the team permanently. ([[SJA]]: ''[[The Day of the Clown]]'')
 
====Adventures with Rani and Clyde====
Luke's lack of a birthday proved invaluable in defeating [[Martin Trueman]], who used the powers of the [[Ancient Lights]] to control people by their [[Zodiac|star signs]]. Sarah Jane suggested that they make the anniversary Luke's default birthday. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Secrets of the Stars]]'') Together, the team defeated several more aliens. Together, they also defeated the [[Berserker]] ([[SJA]]: ''[[The Mark of the Berserker]]'') and even the Trickster when he attempted to manifest corporeally in [[Foxgrove]] in [[1951]] ([[SJA]]: ''[[The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith]]'').

Later, Luke began having dreams of Mrs Wormwood, who returned claiming herself to be Luke's "real mother", so to speak. Luke extended some sympathy towards her, but it later transpired that she returned to Earth alongside the [[Sontaran]] [[Kaagh]] in an attempt to summon [[Horath]], the immortal tyrant of the [[Dark Empire]]. With help from [[Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart]], and due to infighting between Kaagh and Mrs Wormwood, they were able to stop this potential apocalypse ([[SJA]]: ''[[Enemy of the Bane]]'')
 
Luke later helped defeat [[Androvax]] and stop him from destroying Earth with Nanoforms. It was implied that he might fancy Rani when he later hands his mother away at her wedding with Peter Dalton but it was a trap by the Trickster. He is teleported along with Clyde, Rani and the Doctor who crashed the wedding to nowhere in a time trap. Thanks to the TARDIS' power and Clyde manipulating it aswell as Peter withdrawing the Trickster's agreement, they are able to escape and the Trickster explodes into nothing. He gets a look inside the TARDIS when the Doctor comes to Bannerman Road. ([[SJA]]: ''[[The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith]]'') He then defeated [[Mona Lisa]]. ([[SJA]]: [[Mona Lisa's Revenge|''Mona Lisa's Revenge'']])

During one mission with Sarah Jane and the gang in tracking down a Slitheen, he encounters a different race from the same planet - the [[Blathereen]] . The group befriend them and accept a gift, some Rakweed. However, Luke falls ill for the first time when he inhales some of the released spores, and his life hangs in the balance while Sarah Jane tries to find a cure. He pulls through at the last moment when Mr Smith figures out how to destroy the Rakweed and its spores. ([[The Sarah Jane Adventures|SJA]]: ''[[The Gift (The Sarah Jane Adventures)|The Gift]]'')
 
====Reunion with the Doctor====

Following the disappearance of the destroyed planet [[Gallifrey]], Luke is walking home whilst speaking to Clyde on the phone. Based on dialouge, he appears to have been unaffected by the Master turning the entire human race into a copy of himself; he himself is not ''truly'' human. It is implied that Sarah Jane had Mr Smith create a cover story to explain why "[[The Master Race|everyone had a different face]]," which is the result of the wi-fi encountering severe technical difficulties. As he is crossing the road, he is almost run over by a car when [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]], who was slowly dying at the time and preparing for his tenth regeneration, pushes him aside at the last moment. Luke recognises him and quickly runs to tell Sarah Jane. The two watch as he enters the [[TARDIS]] and waves goodbye. ([[DW]]:''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')
 
====Future====

In an unspecified point of his life, Luke will graduate University (with distinction). He probably found out something big, because a lot of people and photographers came to his graduation ceremony. ([[SJA]]: ''[[The Mad Woman in the Attic]]'')

An artificial Human, the Archetype was the creation of the Bane. On the day of his "birth" he met Maria Jackson, helped to defeat the invasion plan of his creators and received a name, "Luke Smith", and an adopted mother, Sarah Jane Smith. Though he was created rather than born, he had the physical form of a teenager despite his literal age being much younger.

Personality

Even in his first hours of life, Luke knew how to speak, but he knew nothing of the world. He tended to respond to anything happening around him with a naïve response, such as "Is that good or bad?". Kelsey Harper had a crush on him but he seemed entirely oblivious to this development.

He quickly built a strong friendship with Clyde, who, being far more socially adept than Luke, taught him the 'proper' way to be a teenager. However, his logical, analytical personality means he is too literal; he cannot tell good jokes because he is lousy at metaphor, and he has a terrible sense of balance meaning he is not good at skateboarding. As he spent more time with his new family, he gradually becomes accustomed to morals and gains a strong sense of right and wrong.

Powers and abilities

As the composite of thousands of Humans, Luke had genius-level intelligence, eidetic memory and enhanced learning ability (SJA: Invasion of the Bane). Though he could not utilize telekinesis normally, he had, in theory, the latent telekinetic powers of thousands (SJA: The Lost Boy). Anticipating her re-emergence, Luke began to experience precognitive dreams about Mrs Wormwood. (SJA: Enemy of the Bane), even though it was previously stated that Luke doesn't have dreams.

There were also physical aspects to Luke's genetic perfection; Sarah Jane commented that his immune system was so powerful he had never gotten sick, prior to his attack from Rakweed spores (SJA: The Gift). The extent of Luke's physical prowess and potential has been largely unexplored in the series. However, Luke demonstrated excellent combat skill and reflexes in the game Combat 3000 and was as such selected to be a warrior for the Uvodni in the Ghost Wars (SJA: Warriors of Kudlak).
