Following the announcement that Lois Lane’s sister Lucy would be joining the show. TVLine has confirmed that DC Villain Reactron will appear episode 3. Reactron has had showdowns with Kara’s cousins Superman and Power Girl in the comics, but it will be Kara that will tangle with him first in live action. I’m guessing that Reactron will be based on Benjamin Martin Krull a former Suicide Squad member who has teamed with another Superman Villain Metallo, and is responsible for the death of Supergirl’s Parents.
Equipped with an exoskeletal made of banded steel. Reactron has the ability to generate radiation from his body, and focus this into concussive blasts. He is also equipped with a heart made of a gold Kryptonite variant, which allows him to render a Kryptonian like Kara powerless for 15 seconds.
A very formidable foe this early in the season is an encouraging development, and hopefully increases the likelihood of more characters from the comics appearing later in the series. What are your thoughts? Sound off below.
