Wonder Twin powers, activate!

Sometimes, it's good to be a nerd.

We get excited over the little things. And tonight is one of those times, because tonight's episode of Smallville introduces us to Zan and Jayna, the Wonder Twins.

Yes, those Wonder Twins.

From the Super-Friends.

The ones with the pet monkey.

Why, you might ask, is Smallville introducing characters from a 70s cartoon show that never really had a presence in the comic books? Who cares?! Smallville is a reality in and of itself that doesn't need any connections to the comic books. As such, it is able to introduce any character with a fresh take - free from convoluted continuity - to be reintroduced into the Superman mythos.

So, let's learn a little bit more about Smallville's newest residents:

Together with their pet monkey, Gleek, Zan and Jayna are siblings from the planet Exxor, able to activate their powers by fist bumping and speaking the words, "Wonder Twin powers, activate!" Zan is able to transform into water at any state (liquid, solid, gas), as well as weather patterns involving water, such as a blizzard, a monsoon, or a typhoon. Jayna can transform into any animal, real or mythological, native to Earth or extraterrestrial.

So, there we go, a little info on the Wonder Twins. Who's next, Apache Chief and Silver Samurai? With Smallville, you never know.
