Cosmic Boy and Turpin on Smallville


News from Kryptonsite confirms that Cosmic Boy will join Saturn Girl in 8×11, “Legion” and Maggie Sawyer’s partner in the Metropolis P.D. will debut in 8×12, “Bulletproof”. The roles will be played by Ryan Kennedy and a previous actor who played a victim of a FOTW in Season One, David Paetkau.

Having rewatched his work in the episode, “Heat” and the show, Whistler, I’m convinced David can pull off the ruff exterior and the heart emotion of Terrible Turpin. After the events in “Abyss”, The Legion aren’t coming to warn Clark about Chloe as Brainiac but something else, maybe an allusion to a horrible god of a certain rock / lava planet?

The big question now is who’s going to be the third Legionnaire? Chameleon Boy or Brainiac 5? The future organic can remind Clark that The Brain Interactive Construction wasn’t always evil. But it wouldn’t matter, cause if it follows the New Kids in Town route, Clark’s memory will be wiped of that notion. So there’s the hole in my theory.
