Superboy Comes To Smallville

We've had the returns of Supergirl, Zatanna, Martha and Jonathan Kent, Zod, Darkseid and Lex Luthor all confirmed for the final five episodes of Smallville, but perhaps the most exciting reveal has come today with the announcement that Connor Kent aka Superboy will feature in the sixteenth episode of the final season. Titled 'Scion', the story will see Tess and Lionel Luthor go head to head for control of Luthorcorp, while the clone of Lex who returned this week to US televisions in 'Beacon' who mysteriously possessed Clark's invulnerability will be revealed as Superboy, originally a clone of Lex and Superman in the DC comics. First off as you can see Lucas Grabeel's character will become a big fan of the Blur, then perhaps we will get a glimpse of the modern Boy of Steel in action before the end of the episode. No news yet as to whether Grabeel will return as Connor for the final two-hour episode, titled 'Finale', but seeing as the young Kent might prove such an important part in Clark's destiny we certainly can't see why not. Anyway, in 'Scion' Conner will find out that "his journey has been manipulated by a master" (Lex? Jor-El>) and that he should "be wary of strangers bearing gifts". Interesting hints of what's to come, and American viewers only have to wait until the 5th of March to find out what role the Boy of Steel plays in the inception of Superman!
