Tor-An in Man of Steel

At the London Toy Fair, one of the movie tie-in kits included a mini Lego figure for:
"General Zod, Colonel Hardy,Superman, Faora and Spoiler: [Tor-An]"


If this rumor proves to be true then that means Kal-El may not be the first Kryptonian on Earth. In comic book lore, the character in question is a sleeper agent placed on Earth by General Zod. This potential development would also raise larger questions like how long has Krypton known about Earth, where is Zod coming from in his spaceship and which one of the seemingly mundane characters in Man of Steel could be a sleeper agent in disguise? More on this development as we have it.

Weird. I was hoping they wouldn't go this route. I'd rather see some non-kryptonian villains develop... Plus, this is shaping up like Superman 2, 3 Kryptonians versus Superman; two male and 1 female.

Tor-An was a Kryptonian sleeper agent earth. If his role is the same in the movie, I assume Zod sent him ahead, as a scout, possibly to locate Kal-El...

I hope they release a new trailer and show some Superman vs Zod footage... distract us from whatever twist or villain they're still hiding from us... it's a win-win really...

I thought it might be Brainiac or someone like that, but I don't even know who "Tar-On" is, so my excitement for the movie is neither heightened nor lowered

Remember, Lego sets aren't always 100% for instance, the set that went along with Loki's arrival and escape in The Avengers.

I was hoping it would be Nuclear Man. I liked their fight in Superman IV and I was thinking that maybe he was created by Zod and planted on Earth to wait for the time is right to attack Kal El. But whoever the hell Tor An is.

@CrimsonReign

2013 is surprisingly shaping up to blow 2012 out of the water! Not trying to start shite, but it is and I am very excited! Iron Man 3 is 3 months away! 3 months.



3 months. Shane Black.








Predator.., that guy was funny in that film about Arnold and Mr Duke fighting off the porn industry. I thought that was one of the best portraits ever!


Stark is in hiding after the events of Avengers.., cynically perfecting his armor. I'm getting tickles. Sorry this just sounds awesome and I love RDJ. Watched Due Date again recently. I don;t even care if Foxx ends up tossing her to her death.
CavEl
CavEl - 1/22/2013, 7:25 PM
@ Dioscuri - Did they ever explain why Luke Skywalker looked human?

I really hope thbis is a great movie. but damn, with Nolan involved its going to be boring crap. Ande the more I hear it sounds ridiculous. Fishburne as Perry white, No jimmy, an old Lois, and Zod of all characters.
