Sayonara, Smallville Extra: I Can't Believe We Haven't Seen...

Kiel and I have not had a chance to touch base on "Booster" (or for that matter "Dominion") quite yet, but rest assured, we've come this far on the runaway train that is Smallville, and will be finishing the ride, albeit perhaps with the timeliness of a New Jersey Transit evening commute (show of hand for who got that one...thank you, Rickey).

In the mean time, here's a lazily assembled visual gallery of all the Superman/DC characters that I can't believe didn't somehow make it in some form or another into a decade of Smallville, a show that has featured, aside from their regular cast that includes Green Arrow...

...Supergirl, Doomsday, Zod (twice), Brainiac, Impulse, Aquaman, Cyborg, The Martian Manhunter, Black Canary, Zatanna, Amanda Waller, Rick Flag, Emil Hamilton (twice), Morgan Edge, Perry White, Maggie Sawyer, Mr. Mxyzptlk, Krypto (sorta), Jimmy Olsen (sorta), Bizarro, Lara, Zor-El, Plastique, Maxima, Faora, The Persuader, the Legion of Super-Heroes, Dan Turpin, Toyman, Bruno Mannheim, Metallo, Roulette, Speedy, the Wonder Twins, Icicle, Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Stargirl, the Justice Society of America, Checkmate, the Suicide Squad, Silver Banshee, Maxwell Lord, Cat Grant (twice), Deadshot, Glorious Godfrey, Darkseid, Isis, Granny Goodness, the Female Furies, Desaad, Deathstroke, Mera, Ultraman, Amos Fortune, Superboy, Booster Gold and Blue Beetle...

...so yeah, here are some other folks they sure could have worked in:

  1. Of all these, Steel, Lobo, and Conduit seem like they'd have been the most likely to me. Conduit could EASILY have been a freak of the week. Steel would've been no harder to work in than Blue Beetle. And Lobo... well, he probably just would've been a biker/bounty hunter, but really... why didn't THAT happen?

    I'd also suggest that Eradicator or Cyborg Superman would have made perfect sense for them, as a Kryptonian nemesis/ally and another turn for Evil Clark both seem like fairly standard Smallville fare.

  2. In my mind, there was a Conduit episode guest starring Zack Braff we just never got to see.
