Guess who’s rising from the dead on Smallville? Hint: He’s got a ripped bod, a green heart, and his name appears in the headline of this story. And his photo’s to the left. And… oh, enough beating around the bush, it’s Metallo!
Sources confirm to me exclusively that Brian Austin Green will reprise his role as the kryptonite-powered villain in this season’s 18th episode, scheduled to air in the spring.
Green debuted as journo John Corben (a.k.a. Metallo) in Smallville’s season premiere back on Sept. 25. He was killed off the following week when he accidentally ripped his mechanical heart out of his chest. Hey, it happens.
How on Earth will Smallville resurrect the DC Comics baddie? I’m guessing it’ll involve a ticker transplant. Got a better theory? Happy Metallo’s being exhumed so soon after his “death”? Head to the comments!

Oh, goody! I love me some BAG!!
This is awesome news! I can’t wait! This season has been excellent!
OMG OMG OMG OMG
This is indeed Great news for Smallville fans!
New Smallville tonight and now this awesome news. OMG today can’t get any better!!!
Its simple, if he is half robot and half Human. All he needs is a recharge. For example a battery on a car thats dead. All it needs is a jump or a new Battery.
Comics characters, like soap characters, never stay dead for very long.
YES! Awesome news, I LOVED BAG’s portrayal of Metallo!
Oh, this is awesome news! Episode 18…sounds fantastic! The 2nd half is shaping up to be as awesome as the 1st!
Metallo is notorious for his many resurrections. I think the show did a pretty good job with his origin but killed him WAY to soon, so his return is good news for me.
My main issue with the show is that they kill off too many villains too soon, so to see Toyman and now Metallo get multiple episodes is very in tune with the comics.
Very cool. I didn’t think Green would be good as Metallo but I was very wrong.
will he appear in 90210 too?
GREAT NEWS!!!! I hope this means we’ll see Toyman again too since Tess ordered him to resurrect Metallo.
Glad they are bringing him back! I like his character……..and of course, the actor.
I thought he was in a coma after ripping his heart out at least thats what I thought I heard in tess’s conversation right after it happened that he was being kept alive via machine till tess could figure out how to fix the kryptonite heart and place it back in him so he could get up and move.
