Grea...I missed this first time it was posted so...<br /><br />Great choices everyone. L. Finn?? YES!! Bring in the Inventor and team them up with Black Flame for a reunion. Bonus points if Supergirl tows them in a ship back to to the Phantom Zone.

I can see her playing all sides against the middle for her own benefit and trying to manipulate Supergirl or remove her permanently depending on what is best for her criminal enterprises. Steve Skeates' Starfire II would also be a good choice for a villain who could give Supergirl a hard time in a fight.William Ashley Vaughannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-39527842343648386792015-03-23T12:41:06.950-04:002015-03-23T12:41:06.950-04:00What no love for "Decay"?

Kupperberg's first new supervillainess from the initial issues of TDNAOS?<br />She is fun because she was being crudely manipulated by a man to do evil.<br />I'll add the 1971 international super gangster Starfire to the mix simply because every heroine needs an unpowered female antagonist and I've alway wanted to see this character get fleshed out a bit.<br />Reactron (he goes without saying, a nuclear sexist oinker...perfect for TV)<br />The Enchantress? (YES! a magic based heroine gone bad this is another excellent prospect for TV)<br />Oh and "Princess Tlactla" (sp) the Mayan Princess who took on Kara early in her Superman Family Run. She was a brawler pretty much and Kara needs a pure brawler in the mix.<br /><br />As you can see I favored women heavily in my line up...:)<br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-18620682823981056282015-03-23T11:41:43.665-04:002015-03-23T11:41:43.665-04:00...and I may be crucified for this, but i LOVED Da......and I may be crucified for this, but i LOVED Dark Supergirl and would be and EPIC <br />villan onscreen!<br /><br />The Superman 3 junkyard fight scene is one of my personal favorite Christopher Reeve <br />Superman moments, and who can dispute the fact that our worst enemy may not be someone <br />else but our own self / dark demons inside us, which is how I liked how Dark Supergirl was <br />initially portrayed... before the character was cheapened out by subsequent writers / issues.<br /><br /><br />RegardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-4038542563237432592015-03-23T11:32:20.360-04:002015-03-23T11:32:20.360-04:00Nothing new to add to the list -- I do agree thoug...Nothing new to add to the list -- I do agree though, to keep the show interesting the villan<br />should a) challenge Supergirl in some way both physically and mentally -- watching Supergirl<br />bowl over someone with little effort than a wave of her hand kinda loses it's impact after<br />the second or third time, and b) have some (personal) connection to her. <br /><br />Of your list, the two I resonate most with is Reactron and Silver Banshee. Reactron for what<br />he did to her father and New Krypton. And it was always a joy watching those two go at it<br />when S. Gates had those two together on the same panel. Silver Banshee I keep going back to<br />because she was New 52 Kara's first human friend, and I keep wishing that she and Kara could've<br />mended their friendship before the comics run ended. The path not taken...<br /><br />Personally I'd find a VERY interesting hook in the TV series if there was a split persona-type<br />friend; on the surface Kara simply knows her as her BFF. But below, and hidden from the normal <br />persona is someone the complete opposite, and Kara finds herself battling her but without knowing <br />the two are one in the same person.<br /><br /><br />RegardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-57180793054511198012015-03-23T09:28:14.553-04:002015-03-23T09:28:14.553-04:00Great list.

They can be teachers at the local community college who dabble in black magic in their spare time. They can redefine the characters into something dark by being subtle and ruthless in their quest for power. Nigel could again be the math professor who helps them from time to time. <br /><br />GeneGenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-80382620702600381162015-03-21T12:22:41.807-04:002015-03-21T12:22:41.807-04:00Awesome picks from Kara's rogue's gallery ...Awesome picks from Kara's rogue's gallery of villains!<br /><br />I'd love to see Belinda Zee or Bizarro Supergirl.

And like Count Drunkula said, the gang could be recurring villains Kara dealt with, like a joke, until the one episode they do some damage (think Buffy season 6). <br />But I'm a reader of the Sterling Gates era, so for me Reactron, Superwoman and Banshee would have to be big villains in the tv show, and I hope I get my wish :)LJ-90https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786120657682897989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-35175887519542816642015-03-21T10:00:59.384-04:002015-03-21T10:00:59.384-04:00Great list, Anj!

I agree that Silver Banshee should be Supergirl's arch enemy because of the personal connection Kara could/should have with Banshee's alter-ego. Reactron, meanwhile, should be Kara's version of Metallo.<br /><br />I can see the Gang becoming recurring villains, either as legitimate threats, or the loser group that Supergirl deals with in the teaser of every sixth episode. A few other villains I thought would be cool are Insect Queen, Livewire from the DCAU, and some version of the Parasite.Count Drunkulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130778855882160092noreply@blogger.com
