X2: The Smallville Connection

Be warned, possible SPOILERS for X2: X-Men United are below.

The new film X2: X-Men United has three connections to Smallville. Curious as to what they are? Here you go:

First off, and most prevalent, is the fact that Shawn Ashmore, who played freak of the week Eric Summers in the Smallville episode "Leech," plays Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman in the movie. Eric's last name of Summers in "Leech" may also be a nod to the X-Men, as the X-characters Cyclops and Havok both share that last name.

Jill Teed, who played Bobby Drake's mother, might also be a familiar face. She played police captain Maggie Sawyer in the Smallville episode "Insurgence."

Next up is Xavier's School. It may look a bit familiar too. Maybe some bald guys and some magnificent people usually tend to hang out there. Yep, that was indeed Luthor Mansion you saw in the movie. For the official site of the real location, click here.
