A new Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 clip featuring Nick Zano reveals why Green Arrow was walking around The Waverider in photos released a few weeks ago. Historian Nate Heywood (aka Citizen Steel) has noticed abnormal changes in history. He finds Oliver because he needs help and wanted someone he could trust.
Nate tells Oliver he’s the only one who wouldn’t think he was going crazy. “You meet Nate when he notices some pieces of history were changing. He kind of pieces together the lost gang that is Legends,” Nick Zano says in the clip.
When Nate has second thoughts about getting involved, Oliver foreshadows his journey to becoming a hero in the Justice Society. “If your team is stuck in history, who better to help find them than a historian,” Oliver says. “Who are you kidding. You’ve been waiting your whole life for a chance like this.”
The synopsis for Season 2 episode 3, ‘Shogun,’ reveals Nate will develop powers very early in the season. Like current Legend, Jax (and just-added Arrow cast member, Wild Dog), Nathan was injured playing football in college. However, Nathan’s injury was so bad he had to have his leg amputated. After a battle with a metallic man named Reichsmark, a new metal leg grows from where his amputated leg once was. Like his grandfather Commander Steel (who will also appear in the series), Nathan has superhuman strength, durability and, of course, steel physiology. However, there is always the chance Nate’s power’s could be a little bit different on Legends of Tomorrow.
Nate (Nick Zano) is shocked to learn that he has powers but then accidentally lands himself and Ray (Brandon Routh) in Feudal Japan. After Sara (Caity Lotz) convinces their stowaway Amaya (Maisie Richardson-Sellers), AKA Vixen, that Rory (Dominic Purcell) is not a murderer, they all agree to find Nate and help him master his powers in order to defend the Japanese village from the Shogun and his army of samurai warriors. Meanwhile, Jax (Franz Drameh) and Stein (Victor Garber) stay back to help fix the ship and find a secret compartment but decide not to tell the rest of the team what they learn.
The Justice Society of America will make their debut on Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 episode 2. Are you excited? Check out the first photos of Obsidian, Stargirl and Dr. Mid-Nite here. Let us know what you think in the comments below!
