Nick Zano Cast in "DC's Legends of Tomorrow"
Nick Zano has joined DC's Legends of Tomorrow in the series regular role of historian Dr. Nate Heywood. It wasn't revealed what earth or what time period Zano's Dr. Heywood is from. However, this character has connections to the Justice Society of America (J.S.A.) which was teased at the end of season one.
In the comics Nate's grandfather is Commander Steel; a member of the J.S.A. whose powers came from mechanized steel used to repair his war-damaged body. Nate gained his powers through liquid metal blood being absorbed into his skin and also joined the J.S.A. Power Girl gave Nate the name Citizen Steel.
With DC's Legends of Tomorrow ability to time travel and The Flash introducing multiple earths, it will be interesting to see what origin the writers come up with for Dr. Nate Heywood.
