In a recent interview with Rotten Tomatoes, Arrow and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim revealed that an “established” DC character “who is not from the comics” would be joining the Legends of Tomorrow series in Season 3.
“We’re drawing on an established character who is not from the comics,” Guggenheim said. “Let me be very clear: not original to the show but not from the comics and not from any of the other DC Arrowverse shows.”
You’re probably wondering why we’re reporting on this at KryptonSite: It’s because this website, long before Supergirl, was considered the Web’s first source for Smallville news and information… and the Legends mystery character actually originated on Smallville.
Do you want to know what’s happening?
SPOILERS, obviously.
KryptonSite has learned that the character who is showing up is the one who might be one of Smallville’s most enduring creations: Chloe Sullivan. As played by Allison Mack, Chloe was the show’s “Lois Lane” before Lois actually came to the show. She was smart, fun, witty, and a great friend and confidante to the show’s Clark Kent….
….and now she’s going to be a regular character in Legends of Tomorrow Season 3.
We’ve heard that Smallville creators Alfred Gough & Miles Millar are receiving a royalty for this, and that if all of the pieces come together, it might even be Allison Mack reprising the role. So far, the actress has not been approached as the producers are still laying out Legends’ third season; our sources say producers are “very interested” in casting her, and that if she accepts, then yes, we will at some point get that Chloe Sullivan-Felicity Smoak meetup of our fanfiction dreams.
Chloe Sullivan has appeared in DC Comics continuity, at least prior to the “New 52” initiative; however, she did first appear in other media, having originated on Smallville.

The Season 2 finale of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow airs this Tuesday, April 4 at 8PM on The CW.

I hope when Allison Mack she will play the roll of Chloe again I real liked her as Chloe I all so hope that we will get to see her all through season 3 in every episode of season three and I think I would like for superman to show up on the legends of tomorrow and I think I would like for Tom Welling to return as Clark all so know as superman or some new guy playing the roll of superman and if they did get some new guy to play the roll of superman I hope it will be a Tom Willings look a like if Tom as a look alike out there in the world..

This could actually happen, though. If you think about it, in Smallville, Chloe Sullivan recieved Dr. Fate’s helmet. 7 weeks ago, Fate’s helmet was seen on Legends of Tomorrow. The executive producer has said that they are bringing in a new character in season 3 that didn’t originate in the comics, but is a staple in the DC universe now. Chloe Sullivan (prolly not Allison Mack, sadly) would be a good choice to bring in as a female Dr. Fate.

That would be awesome hope she accepts, and it would be able to somehow bring Smallville together with the others someday.
