It looks like The Girl of Steel (Melissa Benoist) is going to have her hands full when Supergirl flies back onto our screens, as the fifth season of the DC TV series has now added another pair of villains.

According to Deadline, Cara Buono (Stranger Things) has signed on to play Gamemnae, "an ancient alien whose aim is to use technology to subjugate humans." In addition, former X-Files alum Mitch Pileggi will play another powerful extra terrestrial baddie named Rama Khan. He's described as being "arrogant and willful," with the power to control the four ancient elements — fire, water, earth, and air.

These characters first popped up in the pages of JLA back in 2002, although they were originally introduced as enemies of Atlantis.

Supergirl returns on October 6.

Why is there no post yet about Tom Welling to reprise Smallville role for Arrowverse's 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' crossover?

I literally know nothing about these bad guys so it all sounds pretty interesting to see how they will be handled.

How do you pronounce Gamemnae though? :P But I have a feeling that she might be behind Leviathan.

Rama Khan sounds cool, his powers might require a bit more of budget though.

I briefly read Rama Khan as Ranma Chan.

I'm pretty good with Greek (and Greek-ish) names, but Gamemnae has thrown me.

Cara Buono was also in the movie Happy Accidents with two Marvel actors, Vincent D'Onofrio and Marisa Tomei. It's sort of a time travel/romantic comedy and it's pretty good.
