Smallville Scoop!

Although the writers’ strike has caused quite an inconvenience for viewers, fans of The CW’s Smallville have a lot to look forward to next year. For one, a forthcoming episode will feature a special guest character who gives Clark (Tom Welling) a run for his money.

The episode, the 13th in the current season, is scheduled to air towards the end of February. For those who want to know more about the episode, read on for spoilers.According to Kryptonsite, Smallville’s special guest character for 13th episode will not only be male, but will also be deemed a “hero” after he, and not Clark, ends up saving the lives of Kara (Laura Vandervoort) and Jimmy (Aaron Ashmore).

The site also claims that the guest character first exhibits power in the episode through a Kryptonite plot device. Jimmy shows interest in the person’s powers, which makes Chloe (Allison Mack) question her decision to be so secretive about the abilities she acquired through the meteor shower.Living up to his villainous nature, Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) tries to use the person with the powers to his advantage.

No word yet on who will play the guest character, nor what exactly his powers are.Aside from the guest character, fans can also expect to see a “muscle-clad henchman,” a “roadie” and a “drummer” in the episode. Moreover, Kryptonsite claims that a portion of the episode takes place at a concert.Although the episode, aptly entitled “Hero” is scheduled to air on February 21, this could easily change should the writers’ strike reach a sudden end. Talks resumed on Monday, November 26, and although an agreement is not expected to be made this week, Deadline Hollywood Daily is claiming that the strike could be over before Christmas.
