What other superheroes should make cameos in Smallville?

[TheStrider]

w00t, that would be fun!

 

[SlurpeeGuy]

Granted it's lifted from the STAS ep, but still, they could do it in Smallville.

yep, I mentioned that a couple of times about 3 years ago. It would be the an uber entertaining episode if they ever did it.

That being said, the staff writers of Smallville could learn a lot, and borrow a lot from Superman TAS. Because there are atleast 4 episodes of TAS that would be GOLD, if adapted to fit the smallville screen

 

[TheStrider]

Yes I agree completely.

 

[AgentPat]

Honestly? None, they usually slaughter the origins of the hero, I mean mxy was RUSSIAN! lol

Would you have preferred a Fifth Dimension purple Leprechaun from the future?

Come on, peeps! SV is doing a pretty decent job of keeping things as "real" as possible while still acknowledging the comic book inspirations. By using names like "Kara" (Clark's "cousin" from California), "Krypto" ("You can name your next dog, Krypto) and Mxy (whose MO Chloe discovered by spelling his name backwards), the writers are giving comic book fans big time nods without making the story lines overly ridiculous for the general audience. It's a fine line, and one they're walking pretty well, IMHO.

And still, it'll never be enough for some expectations. Meh. Don't watch then. I guess I'm beyond caring about it. I LOVE the show and that's enough.

 

[TheStrider]

Clark Kent meets the Thunder Cats, only not as Superman this time!

 

[El Hombre-Araña]

I agree that the show should not turn into a "Superhero runway", but, afterall this is a show about Superman! While there have been references and nods to the DC Universe, I think they could have more tibdits per season.
I remember in the Pilot episode the newspaper Lionel was reading stated that the Queen CEO was missing... and it would have been a great opportunity at the beggining of season 3 to have Lex encounter Oliver Queen in a deserted island... yet, they preferred to have a new character stranded there with no consecuence, depth or relevance whatsoever.
I was surprised with the Flash episode, but I think, as many posts on this forum, that it wasn´t nailed quite right (it reminded me of the horrible Thor or Daredevil apperances back in the Incredible hulk Tv Shows).
I would like to see Oliver Queen and Hal Jordan, as regular "hard travelling heroes" (not in full attire) going through America, dropping by Smallville and helping Clark capture "a freak of the week". Also, it would be fun to have A-list actors as guest appreances playing the DC universe heroes (if not on films, at least here...) like Jennifer Connelly as Diana Prince.
Unfortunately, my best guess is that guest appreances are more regulated by copyright and property issues than Loeb's or screenwriters' creativity. True, all DC characters are handled through WB, but I guess they want to keep their properties separate in case they want to sell or lease a certain right.
Still, dreams never die...

Great post!



I loved Jinx, what fun that episode was. Possibly one of the best mythos moments in the series was in that one (Clark dressing for "battle" and then the speech he gives to Jonathan before the big game is priceless) and his running to save Chloe and then still win the game... I laughed out loud, that was so much fun.

Loved that episode! Who cares if Mxy wasn't an imp from an alternate plane of existance and didn't wear a purple suit and yellow bowler? I sure didn't...

I hope Trent Ford comes back, actually, in Season 5 with Mxy's powers intact. Maybe then we'll find out who else is on floor 33.1...

 

[TheStrider]

Clark will own him, and Mxy won't even know it, just like last time :P

Yeah, I agree. I think they said he will be coming back on season 5 along with Bart.
In some stories, Myx travelled back in time to Smallville to show a young Clark things from his Kryptonian past etc. That would be an interesting thing for them to do. And if they can't show bits of Krypton, maybe Myx could show him his future, if you know what I mean...

 

[kamillon66]

what about...a real villian other then lex?

I agree and disagree...

should he have been a 5th dimension being? HELL YES. Should he have been a lepracon (sp) NO!!!!!! They got the Myx character just right for the show, it was just the crummy background story they gave him. A magical being, who's family had been cursed. That's Bad. I don't like that. A little bit of creative writing to could have remedied that easily.

[Timstuff]

They could have a retired Hal Jordan make a guest appearance. :P

i can't get enough of flash!

 

[Spider-Gamer]

I have to agree!

 

[NHawk19]

Who knew the whole Aquaman thing would come true?

 

[Kirk Langstrom (2)]

How about a guest appearance by a super hero who actually wears a super hero costume? Geez, I'm getting a little tired of Gough's "No Tights" policy...

 

[TheStrider]

I wouldn't mind seeing a costumed hero, maybe an inspiration to Clark? hehe

 

[NHawk19]

I seem to remember a comic with Bruce Wayne . . .maybe it was the Hush series, where he and a friend take a trip to Metropolis and see one of the Older Green Lantern's around (sorry not a big GL fan). Given Smallville's new found proximity to Metropolis that would be something interesting to explore.

 

[The Batman]

Batman(It'll never happen, but one can dream)
Wonder Woman(Besides Batman, another big name superhero)
J'onn J'onzz(Disguised as John Jones)
Hawkman(since Carter and Clark deal with artifacts)

 

[rigel7soldiers]

One character who's appeared in every episode... is Homoeroticism. Ooh, BURN!

 

[The Sage]

Here's my idea for a cameo based on Superboy.

It's an idea that I'm still thinking through, so expect more stuff and maybe changes made as time goes on.

This isn't really for one episode, more so a saga. Maybe the middle part of the season all the way up to towards the end type deal. Haven't divided it up into episodes.

BROTHER

- In a two week time span, several robberies are committed in Metropolis, with the thief being so fast that he's not able to be caught on video camera. Chloe, working at the Daily Planet, informs Clark about it, who automatically suspects Bart(Flash) from Season 4. However, that theory is dismissed when a recent robbery in Metropolis Museum showed that not only was the thief too fast for the camera, but he bent steel bars in order to get to whatever artifact he stole.

- We enter a giant lab labeled Project Cadmus. A group of scientists stand around, taking notes, all looking like they're waiting for someone to return. Out of nowhere, the thief appears. About 15 years old, with a very close resemblance to Clark Kent. His name is Conner.

- They mention his powers, faster than a speeding bullet, able to bend steel, near invulnerability, as well as the abiilty to leap at a great distance. Other senses include x-ray vision, which he can't control. Possibly other latent abilities. Body processes solar energy to produce superhuman abilities.

- Conner is very brash, hates hiding himself and wants to go public, as well as chase women. He eventually will become more sullen.

- The head director of Cadmus is Paul Westfield, who seems to show compassion towards Conner since he was partially responsible for his creation.

- Conner robs the Daily Planet, sent there to remove any incriminating evidence against Cadmus' experiments. He runs into Chloe, who he automatically falls in love with. In mid conversation, a security guard hits Conner from behind with a nightstick, which breaks against him. Conner knocks him out and escapes.

- The founder of Project Cadmus is revealed to be Lex Luthor, who instructs Conner to target the Kent farm and search for an octagonal object.

- Chloe informs Clark that the thief resembles him, and he exhibits most of Clark's powers. In response, CK goes to the FOS and questions if Jor-El has possessed another human being as he did with Kara. His birth father replies no, leaving that mystery unsolved.

- Conner sneaks into the Kent farm, looking for the key in the barn. Clark is in the house but catches the movement with his super-hearing. Running into the barn, the two meet each face to face, with Conner making a snide comment. A battle ensues, tearing the farm apart. Conner does some things that CK can't do, such as leaping high in the air and changing direction in mid-air. Clark blasts Conner with his heat vision, something Conner can't do. Conner finds the key but Clark wrestles him for it. They accidentally knock over the red metal drawers (I hope that's the right terminology), and the piece of kryptonite kept in the farm falls on to the ground. Both Clark and Conner fall, succumbing to the radiation. Clark notices this. The Kents come home, puts the green K back in its box. Clark gets his composure, but realizes Conner is gone, with the key.

- In Metropolis, Conner tries to romance Chloe, who's angry at his actions in Smallville. This leads to Conner and Clark meeting each other without fighting in Metropolis. Conner feels great to open up to someone who isn't wearing a lab coat. He reveals that he was created in Project Cadmus, and tells them that it's part of a LuthorCorp department. Clark emphasizes the importance of the key, which moves Conner to find a way to give it back to him.

- Lex goes to Cadmus for the key, which is in the hands of the scientists. A fire breaks out, the container holding the key is lost in the fire. Conner runs into the lab and saves everyone, but Lex wants the key. Conner hands him the container with a melted metal object. Lex is enraged. While talking to Lex, Conner has the genuine key in his backpocket.

- Conner returns the key to Clark and starts to leave when Clark offers to be his friend, telling him he doesn't have to be alone. At the same time, Clark is telling himself the same question, seeing that he has found a "brother", despite the suspicious origins which aren't revealed as of yet.

- Clark and Conner's interaction would be reminiscent of Bart and Clark, but Conner would talk more about exposing himself to people and cashing in on his powers, with CK doing his usual talk of selfish gain.

- Lex, upon meeting Conner, would be highly suspicious as Conner does resemble Clark.

More to come...when I feel like it.
