I'd be happy to see her here, but happier to be surprised - I love Ket's Human Cannonball idea, and Positive Man? Yes please.

But what about the comic?"<br /><br />I'm going to go with the idea that since Livewire seems to shaping up to be a recurring villain on TV (and because actress Brit Morgan is pals with some of the producers), the character will probably be 'too radioactive' for the comic series to use at the moment. Of course, things could change....but it seems that the reverse has also been in play. That is, if the comics are reinterpreting some rogues (such as Selena and Psi), then the TV show is simply not using them at this time. <br /><br />KETKEThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13797904604074311480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-7802782966549075572017-07-13T12:35:11.085-04:002017-07-13T12:35:11.085-04:00Reviewed that episode 8 years ago!

Granted thats a facet from her shockjock persona, but it makes the antagonism all the more perverse, personal and thus, interesting.<br />Here is hopin' it's Lesley....although "Shocking" could easily mean the triumphant return of the Original Bronze Age Human Cannonball....<br /><br />:)<br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-35928162372037025862017-07-13T10:12:12.085-04:002017-07-13T10:12:12.085-04:00Livewire seems the most likely suspect and my favo...Livewire seems the most likely suspect and my favorite pick, but given Orlando's seemingly deep knowledge of Supergirl's history and ability to revisit blasts from the past anything is possible. <br /><br />I wouldn't be surprised to see him pull in Positive Man from the Silver Age or Supergirl's newly found friends Thunder and Lightning from DCSHG as they also seem to get a revival in CWs Black Lightning. It would give the series a lift with a person of color more interesting than the (I'm sorry) incredibly pointless and bland Ben Rubel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-11167043173027618452017-07-13T08:40:47.914-04:002017-07-13T08:40:47.914-04:00"Over on Twitter, Orlando tweeted that he was..."Over on Twitter, Orlando tweeted that he was meeting with the Supergirl creative team (editor Jess Chen, artist Robson Rocha, inker Daniel Henriques, and colorist Michael Atiyeh) to discuss the next arc in the book."<br /><br />... Which may imply DC still has faith in the current creative team in spit of falling sales. Given that I tremendously enjoyed the ending of "Escape from the Phantom Zone", I'm happy and a bit relieved.<br /><br />"When I asked for a hint, Orlando said there could be some "shocking additions"."<br /><br />Interesting wording. I noticed, though, he didn't say those "shocking additions" would be villains. I don't dare hope to meet two certain Winathian siblings -or their villainous big brother-, but it'd be cool to see the Legion again (and find out why DC dropped several hints of SM and SG meeting Saturn Girl. Fans were baited or plans were changed?)<br /><br />Some old member of Supergirl's supporting cast or Rogue's Gallery is an electrokinetic?<br /><br />Regarding Livewire and prior battles with the Maid of Might... I can't think of any comic examples, but in "Girls Night Out Supergirl and Batgirl ran into Harley, Ivy and Livewire. Does it count?<br /><br />"(It definitely showed the inconsistency of the Supergirl history at this time as this Zor was much different than Joe Kelly's mad killer.)"<br /><br />It also shows how eager was the creative team to move away from that run.<br /><br />"This 'extreme outsider' idea was part of this version (at least until the Gates' run) and even rears its ugly head in the early New 52 book."<br /><br />I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea, but the New 52 version took it too far for too long. There were hints Kara was trying to fit in (see her interactions with Silver Banshee and her brother), but that damned H'el on Earth story arc damaged the character and derailed her evolution.<br /><br />Back on topic, maybe it's Livewire or an electrokinetic character. We'll see.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
