According to Kryptonsite, Max Lord will appear in episode 19 of this season’s Smallville. It’s unclear at this point if he will be a good guy, or a bad guy.  Considering the Junior Lifeguard Association is still forming, it wouldn’t surprise me to see him as the financier for the group, and later to be revealed to be working for Pam Grier’s Checkmate. “Charade” is expected to air in April. via Kryptonsite
