Wonder Twin powers, activate! [Smallville]

Over the years, I have gone from being a big supporter of the television show Smallville to being one of its biggest detractors. There comes a point in my ranting hysteria when the words I say no longer matter. And when that happens, they say that a picture that is worth at least a thousand words.

Ladies and gentlemen, from the upcoming Smallville episode “Idol,” I present the Wonder Twins:

Yes, it’s Zan and Jayna, those beloved aliens that first graced the small screen in the 1970s in the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series The All-New Super Friends Hour. Zan, played here by David Gallagher, has the ability to transform into water and ice-related objects. Jayna, played by Allison Scagliotti (Warehouse 13), can transform into any animal.

Whether or not the Wonder Twins’ powers will remain the same on the Smallville series is debatable. Personally, I’m not sticking around to find out.

“Idol” will air November 13, 2009, on the CW.
