Looks awesome, everything about this episode is shaping up to be utterly spectacular.

[skeetsHD]

Is that Clark's Smallville High jacket..... or Plastic Man? BumbumBUUUMM.

[Ontir]

As it says either "Clark" or "Kent" (I can't at present remember which.), I think it's safe to say it's Clark's. I can't imagine why anyone would bring Plastic Man into an episode focused on the Legion.

[skeetsHD]

Joke, man. Joke. Just commenting on the colors. Ah, never mind. Tough crowd.

[Toku King]

Is that guy with helmet Steel? If so, that's friggin' awesome!

Sill, I'll pass. Doomsday was disappointing enough.

As it says either "Clark" or "Kent" (I can't at present remember which.), I think it's safe to say it's Clark's.

Looks like it says, "Ark", so it probably belongs either to Noah or a welder...

Is that guy with helmet Steel? If so, that's friggin' awesome!

Sill, I'll pass. Doomsday was disappointing enough.

Says you. Not everyone feels that way

[Jigsaw]

I find it funny that the minute they make Doomsday more than just some SpaceHulk, he's disappointing. Doomsday has been in one lame storyline after another ever since his debut, and besides the animated movie ("Superman: Doomsday"), as well as his debut, this is one of the only incarnations to have made the character actually interesting.

[Toku King]

I second the report. Still dont encourage him and let the mods handle it

Yup.

But I wanna know, if that's not Steel, then who is that guy in the armor? He looks like a buff Magnus Greel.

[Jigsaw]

Well, moving on....

I hope there is some sort of Doomsday action "Legion," whether he's terrorizing others or actually fighting Clark or the Legion.

[Bouncing Boy]

Is that guy with helmet Steel? If so, that's friggin' awesome!

Sill, I'll pass. Doomsday was disappointing enough.

Why the hell would they bring Steel into an episode about the Legion of Superheroes? Common sense, man. Use it.

Because they can intermix superhero groups, like they did Cyborg with the Justice League?

Oh, and reported.

And also, smart-ass, who is it then?
The Persuader, a Legion villain who is a hell of a lot more awesome than Steel

[Jigsaw]

I'm not sure about that because I don't know a lot about the Legion of Superheroes, but he definitely looks more badass than Steel.

[Jmacq1]

I haven't watched an episode of Smallville since...somewhere in early Season 2.

But I'll be watching tonight.

[Jigsaw]

Lol, damn, everyone's watching tonight.

[Jared]

I just read that the three legionaires are aliens. Geez, are there any aliens in Smallville that don't look human?

Regardless, I look forward to this episode. The show has pretty much won me over this season.

[Toonimator]

Well, at least it makes sense for the Legionnaires and for some others like Maxima.

Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad, and Saturn Girl have ALWAYS been from off-world (er, far as I know) and still look human. And it makes sense to use the Legion's founders, too; they could have used Brainiac-5 and Chameleon Boy, but B-5 would just be a green guy and probably have a holo-emitter thing to look NOT-green for most of the episode, and Chameleon probably wouldn't have done anything but shift to various human appearances throughout (including, naturally, aping Clark and other characters once or twice)

[Jigsaw]

Exactly, I think the direction they went in this episode was better.

[Bouncing Boy]

I'm not sure about that because I don't know a lot about the Legion of Superheroes, but he definitely looks more badass than Steel.
He's got an Atomic Axe, that makes him a hell of a lot more badass, he's also works with a cyborg, a chick who controls an Emerald Eye, a guy who makes things disintegrate with his hands, and a giant with mental lightning

[Jigsaw]

Now that, is badass. I'd like to see the Persuader return to Smallville sometime before the series ends, he was badass. He took a chunk out of Clark with his axe and kicked his ass. He should definitely return.
