'Superman' Villain 'Reactron' Cast In Season One Of Upcoming SUPERGIRL TV Series
Yet another villain with ties to Superman has been cast, as Reactron will be heading to National City in episode three of the CBS drama with a plan to take out the Man of Steel's cousin.
The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Sons of Anarchy's Chris Browning has joined the cast of Supergirl as Ben Krull. Who? Well, we all know him better as the villainous Reactron! In the CBS series, he's described as "a deadly adversary of Superman's from Metropolis who wears an armored suit powered by nuclear energy. Never able to defeat his rival, Krull has come to National City to get revenge on the Man of Steel by killing his cousin, Supergirl." He's set to first show up in episode three, but the site mentions that there's potential for him to become a recurring character. Supergirl doesn't premiere until the end of October, but with Greg Berlanti (The Flash) overseeing things, both fans and the network have very high hopes for the DC Comics adaptation. Is it a mistake to include yet another villain with ties to the Man of Steel?
