Smallville gets more "super"	Law and Order: Criminal Intent	Login to vote
Warning: possible spoilers inside--The sixth season of Smallville may have concluded less than a month ago, but hype is already building for the show's seventh. Smallville Producer says a major new character is joining Clark next season. The drama portrays a young Clark Kent (Tom Welling) before he truly becomes the crime-fighting Superman, and has brought in several characters from Superman lore. The upcoming season will continue that trend, according to Smallville executive producer Al Gough, with the introduction of another member of the Krypton clan. Making her debut in the series next season will be Kara Zor-El--better known as Supergirl--Gough told TVGuide.com. Kara is Clark's cousin and will not only possess many of the same powers as Clark, but a few more as well. "She has all of Clark's powers and a couple he doesn't have yet," Gough told TVGuide.com. "She can fly. And her response when Clark asks why is 'obviously girls mature faster than boys.'" In the story, Kara's ship landed on Earth around the same time as Clark's, but "there was a problem and she's been in suspended animation for the last 16 years." A teenager when she escaped Krypton, she was initially meant to look after Clark. She awakes, still a teenager, for season seven because of one of the season-six finale's explosive plot points--the big dam break. With Clark now older than she is, Kara is able to spend more time being a teenage Earthling girl. "She becomes enamored with our culture--clothes and iPods and stuff," says Gough. "We'll have a lot of fun as she gets acclimated." The role of Supergirl in Smallville has not yet been cast. Supergirl first appeared in comics in the late 1950s, two decades after Superman made his debut. Her backstory has undergone a series of changes since then, and she got her own film in 1984 and has appeared in the recent animated television series Justice League Unlimited and Superman.
