"She's related to one of our heroes. We will find that she's not a person off the street. We are going into the most distant future that we will be visiting, and we will find that she is the biological result of something that one of our characters either directly or indirectly did before their recruitment in the pilot, in 2016," the showrunner was quoted as saying over at Comic Book Movie.
In related news, series star Wentworth Miller revealed that many have been asking if they needed to watch the two CW parent shows for them to get a grasp of "Legends."
The "Prison Break" actor, who also plays Leonard Snart/Captain Cold in the Grant Gustin-starred show, revealed to IGN that there's no need to catch up on the episodes from the other related series.
"I don't think you need to watch Arrow and Flash to appreciate what it is Legends has to offer," he told the media outlet, adding that the show will be giving off a handful of backstories for each of the characters so that the viewers may know what is going on.
Don't miss "Legends of Tomorrow" premiering this Thursday, Jan. 21, at 8 p.m. EST on The CW.
