This episode written by popular comic book writer Geoff Johns. The story will introduce the Legion of Super-Heroes to Smallville mythology. Three characters who will stay true to their origins come from the future. Eventually they work together to try saving Chloe from her Brainiac side-who has taken over Chloe’s body.

Writer Geoff Johns has revealed on a comic book forum about the Legion : "They are absolutely, 100 % on point with the Legionnaires and their relationship with Clark Kent. I can say you’ll see an appearance by one of the Legion’s better known enemies, but I can’t reveal who just yet. More information to come when I can talk about it.".

Kryptonsite bet that the villain are include one of this three villains : Darkseid, Mordru or the Time Trapper. Let see which one will show up. Erica Durance, Aaron Ashmore, Cassidy Freeman and Justin Hartley don’t appear in this episode.

Episode ini ditulis oleh penulis cerita buku komik populer Geoff Johns. Ceritanya akan memperkenalkan the Legion of Super-Heroes dalam mitologi Smallville. Tiga karakter akan tetap dalam bentuk asli mereka datang dari masa depan. Akhirnya mereka bekerja sama untuk mencoba menyelamatkan Chloe dari sisi Brainiacnya-yang telah mengambil alih tubuh Chloe.<br /><br />Penulis Geoff Johns telah mengungkapkan dalam forum komik tentang Legion itu : Sungguh-sungguh mereka, 100 % anggota Legion dan hubungan mereka dengan Clark Kent. Aku dapat mengatakan anda akan melihat penampilan salah satu musuh Legion yang paling dikenal, tetapi aku belum dapat mengatakan siapa. Bila saatnya tiba aku akan mengatakannya.<br /><br />Kryptonsite menebak bahwa ia adalah salah satu dari ketiga penjahat ini : Darkseid, Mordru atau the Time Trapper. Mari lihat mana yang akan tampil. <br />

Guest Stars: Kristin Kreuk (Lana), Alexz Johnson (Imra/Saturn Girl), Calum Worthy (Garth/Lightning Lad), Ryan Kennedy (Rokk/Cosmic Boy)

Three member of Legion are Garth, Imra, and Rokk, who have powers of electricity, telepathy, and magnetism, respectively. The villain is The Persuader. Don’t expect the Legion to be wearing full-on costumes. However, they will be wearing clothing that is evocative of their comic book counterparts, much like Clark has his blue shirt and red jacket.

In an interview posted on IGN.com, writer Geoff Johns has revealed that we will see Legion flight rings and also makes a reference to the "villain’s weapon."

Johns has revealed that Kristin Kreuk has a "powerful" and "heartfelt" scene and that Allison Mack has some "pretty intense things" to do in the episode.

Johns seems happy with how the episode is turning out: "I’m actually surprised by how faithful the Legionnaires will be to the comics. It’s really faithful to the comic book series. Who they are as people, what they do, it’s all in there. Obviously it’s going to be a little different because they’re just coming back for the first time to meet Clark. They’re uniforms are the Smallville versions, not spandex. But I’m really happy with how faithful it is. And writing the first live action of the Legion is an honor."

Tiga anggota Legion adalah Garth, Imra, dan Rokk, yang secara berurutan mempunyai kekuatan listrik, telepati dan magnet. Dan sang penjahatnya ternyata The Persuader. Jangan mengharapkan the Legion akan memakai kostum penuh. Akan tetapi, mereka akan memakai pakaian yang mengingatkan kita pada buku komik para tokoh tersebut, lebih seperti Clark yang memakai t-shirt biru dan jaket merah.<br /><br />Dalam wawancara yang diposting di IGN.com, penulis Geoff Johns telah mengungkapkan bahwa kita akan melihat cincin terbang Legion dan juga mereferensi kepada senjata penjahat. <br />Johns juga mengungkapkan bahwa Kristin Kreuk (Lana) akan memiliki adegan yang "kuat" dan menyentuh dan bahwa Allison Mack juga mempunyai sesuatu yang sangat hebat; untuk dilakukan di dalam episode ini.<br /><br />Johns kelihatan sangat bahagia dengan bagaimana episode ini akan disajikan," Aku benar-benar terkejut akan bagaimana setianya the Legionnare terhadap versi komiknya. Sangat setia terhadap versi komiknya. Siapa mereka sebagai pribadi, apa yang mereka lakukan, semuanya ada di episode ini. Jelas-jelas akan ada hal yang sedikit berbeda karena mereka akan kembali dalam waktu di mana mereka pertama kali bertemu dengan Clark. Seragam mereka sesuai versi Smallville, bukan spandex. Tapi aku sangat bahagia dengan betapa setianya episode ini. Dan menulis live action pertama dari Legion of Superheroes adalah sebuah kebanggaan."
