This week on Going Back to Smallville, we’re diving into Season 7, Episode 7: “Cure”—and yes, that really is Dean Cain playing a mad scientist named Curtis Knox! The former Superman from Lois & Clark shows up in Smallville, and things get weird fast.
We break down the episode, the wild “CK” double meaning, how this twist fits into the Smallville universe, and what happened to Dean Cain since hanging up the cape. Plus, we ask the question: how does this compare to other major DC guest appearances?
Join us as we break down the major character shifts, comic book connections, behind-the-scenes trivia, and how this episode helped reshape Smallville forever.
