At this point, little else is known about Culkin's news Stand out Character different from his description as an eccentric genius. However, it is possible that the description is still vague Connect him with Dr. Siggi Wilzig by Michael Emerson. While Emerson's character was killed during the events of Stand out Season 1 and his severed head became the focus of much of the season's subsequent storyline, it is possible that his character's return will be seen in flashbacks in Season 2.


Since much of Wilzig's time spent researching the Enclave is still shrouded in mystery, Culkin could potentially take on the role of one of Emerson's fellow scientists. In addition, the introduction of another scientist could be possible also hint at the existence of additional, potentially world-changing secrets apart from Wilzig's work on cold fusion. At this point, however, such speculation is little more than hearsay until far more concrete details about Culkin's new character are released Stand out Season 2.
