"Powers" star Justice Leak will play a villainous alien called Hellgrammite in the upcoming premiere season of CBS' "Supergirl,"Entertainment Weekly reports.

Though he will be an alien in the show, Hellgrammite was entomologist Roderick Rose in the comics. After some experimentation, he developed super-strength, improved jumping and the ability to produce cocoons to imprison foes or even transform them into larvae versions of himself. The experimentation also gave him an insect-like appearance and his supervillain moniker comes from an insect of the same name.

It's a damn shame that this is separate from the CW verse (Flash and Arrow). I understand why they did it though. It'd be hard for different studios to coordinate especially in terms of the story. Anything major happening on one show would affect another and ignoring it would make things weird.

Maybe, but at the same time, they don't put these characters in different cities for no reason, lots of stuff could be going down in one city and you just have to mention it in passing on the other show, a small nod to it going on, and you're covered.  Not much work really.

She looks fine all over. I can't wait to see her on my screen every week :)

Exactly. She fits the part very well. Now if she were playing Power Girl, then there would be cause for complaint. She's pretty much the definition of "Boobs of Steel".

Iddo Goldberg Cast as Red Tornado

Iddo Goldberg (Salem, Peaky Blinders) has been cast for the role of “Dr. T.O. Morrow (aka Red Tornado)” on CBS's Supergirl, ComicBook.com has learned exclusively.

According to Warner Bros. Television, Red Tornado is the most advanced android the world has ever seen. Designed by scientist T.O. Morrow for the U.S. Army as the ultimate superweapon, he soon becomes sentient, posing a grave danger to National City -- including the people Supergirl cares about most.

In what way Goldberg will play both Morrow and the Red Tornado isn't clear. While the character has often been imbued with the personality of a human in the comics, Morrow isn't Red Tornado, just the android's inventor. He's also evil, while Red Tornado is a hero and longtime Justice League member. (Red Tornado also served as a mentor to Young Justice when that team first assembled under the pen of longtime Supergirl writer Peter David.)

So does that mean there's a potential for Lois or Lucy to show up? Maybe Lois is investigating the new girl hero who is so similar to the Metropolis Marvel?

Hopefully the pilot doesn't do the rest of the series justice. God that was a boring thing to sit through. 

Pilots often are the worst episode of a series. They have to set things up, so the story often suffers in the first episode or two.

Why did they leave her eyes as Green?

 

Because her heat vision would melt colored contact lenses. :rofl:

But seriously, she nails the role and is a good match for the part.

In comparison: The X-Men franchise stars an actor almost a foot too tall to play the 5'1" tall Wolverine. Flash features an Iris West who is black (not her traditional skin color) but who nonetheless works perfectly in the role. And a Jay Garrick who is about 50 years too young. Dawn of Justice is going to have a Wonder Woman who barely looks the part. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a Nick Fury who is non-traditional, although there is a precedent for the portrayal in the Ultimate Marvel Universe.

I think Kara's eye color is a minor quibble compared to all that.
