The parade of new characters continues this season on Smallville. Monday, TV Guide reported that the Silver Banshee will make her live-action debut in episode 16, "Escape," and will be played by Odessa Rae, who just did a turn on Leverage.

Like her printed incarnation, the Banshee began her life as Siobhan McDougal, who fell into the underworld after a ritual for her to gain control of her clan went awry. On Smallville, she'll escape to unleash her revenge on a bed and breakfast where Clark (Tom Weiling) and Lois (Erica Durance) just happen to be staying. Cue the hilarity!
