Commander Steel Joins The LEGENDS OF TOMORROW Season 2 Cast

Longtime JSA member Commander Steel has just been cast on Legends of Tomorrow. That's not to be confused with his grandson, Citizen Steel (Nick Zano). He'll be played by iZombie alum Matthew MacCaull.

No, Nick Zano has not been recast.  Instead, his character's grandfather, the Golden Age Steel or Commander Steel has just joined the show.  

One of the earliest members of the Justice Society of America, Henry Heywood was a World War II soldier who was damaged during combat and had several mechanical devices installed to compensate for his injuries (think The Six Million Dollar Man).  His grandson, Nate Heywood, was a former football star who had a gruesome injury that resulted in his leg's amputation. A freak accident caused by a group of super-villains triggered his latent metahuman gene and Nate became a being of living steel.  Unable to control his powers due to his inability to feel,  Dr. Mid-Nite and Mr. Terrific designed a "second-skin" costume that restricted his superhuman strength to manageable levels.  Just how much of this comic book lore will be followed on Legends of Tomorrow remains to be seen.

Though we don't know in what capacity and to what extent, iZombie alum Matthew MacCaull (Star Trek Beyond, Tomorrowland) will play the elder Heywood.  

Legends of Tomorrow returns Thursday, Oct. 13 at 8/7c on The CW.

I really don't know the character whatsoever but I'm always happy to see more obscure comic characters brought to the big or small screen.

Hopefully they can get the costume right for that one big Commander Steel fan put there.

Best DC show tbh. Yes the story was generic, but the character interaction was a lot of fun and the time travel was well done. Each episode felt indivdual and connected.
Hope S2 does well.

@JonTargaryen94 - It rivals The Flash for me.

I cared about the characters for the most part which is more than I can say about a certain leather clad archer who won't be mentioned day name in fear of triggering somebody.

@SidDaAstroSloth - Flash is third for me after Gotham (i like noir cop shows)

I think what makes Flash a bit un evetful is that I find it too easy to predict what the next episode is about. Say if Barry looses, you next the next episode is going to be 'you can do this barry' shmuck they give us. The characters are fun no doubt, but its tied down to literally 2 main sets and it needs a bit of variety.

@SidDaAstroSloth - And Arrow, what a sad decline of fortunes that has been.

@JonTargaryen94 - Oh I thought we were talking about CW shows.

Yeah Gotham is my #1 as well.

Followed by Agents Of SHIELD which gets too much hate.

@JonTargaryen94 - I have faith that this new season of Arrow is going to improve it alot.

Not to the levels of Season 2 but better than it was.

Or they could prove me wrong and I'll go kill myself.

@SidDaAstroSloth - I group all DC shows in the same category.
Agents of Shield is good, it started off average at best, but has improved vastly.
The new s5 trailer for Arrow,= didn't do it for me. It looks nothing special at all. And please dont kill yourself, you have one of the best names on this site.

@JonTargaryen94 - I hate my name right now because I can't fit "the" in there.

GODDAMNED NAME RESTRICTIONS!

I used to have it back in the heyday of this site!

Oh and yeah S5'sure trailer wasn't remarkable but that's 10 steps forward from the shit we saw on the last 2 seasons.

@scapegoatjones - I'm having alot of conflicting feelings about you.

On one hand I feel you are wrong about AoS but in the other hand your avatar is Dr. Rockzo the Rock 'n' Roll Clown (He does cocaine) so I find it hard to hate you.

Metalocalypse is my favorite animated show.

@SidDaAstroSloth - personally I'd go
1.AOS I am so hyped for Ghost Rider(Started after Hydra twist, then went back and watched the rest)
2.Supergirl
3.The Flash
4.LOT
5.Gotham
6.Arrow
(Agent Carter would be Number 1 but....

@StarlordsDad - I loved Supergirl for half of the season but it became SOOOO corny by the end of the season I could barely watch it.

I am excited for the new season nonot the less though.

I'm excited to see a big name Marvel hero join AoS as well.

I'm not exactly a Ghost Rider fan be it Johnny Blaze,Danny Ketch or Robbie Reyes but I'm just glad we're getting more than just Quake.

Don't know who he is but sounds like an interesting character. Should be intriguing on how they use him on the show
