It was bound to happen eventually, right? Either way, this may be the best translation of a superhero to live action ever.

(Video is a promo for next week’s Smallville episode but no real spoilers therein.)

Was that great or what? The promo just aired and I already see fans who were clueless about Booster’s arrival on the series complaining about it. Personally, I love it. Is the choice to bring in a new character this late in the season an odd choice? Maybe, but it’s a Geoff Johns episode so you know it’s going to be great. Plus, Booster Fan Club t-shirts make a cameo!

Eric Martsolf plays Booster, aka Michael John Carter,  in the episode titled “Booster” (oh he’d be grinning from ear to ear if he really existed), which also stars Blue Beetle. Actor Jaren Brandt Bartlett is playing Jaime Reyes and Sebastian Spence plays Ted Kord.

“Booster” premiers next Friday on the CW. And don’t forget, dial 1-800-BOO$TR if you need a really tan hero to save the day.
