List of Supergirl characters

Supergirl is an American television series developed by Greg Berlanti, Ali Adler, and Andrew Kreisberg based on the characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in the Superman franchise and Al Plastino and Otto Binder's character Supergirl. The series stars Melissa Benoist in the titular role of Kara Zor-El / Kara Danvers / Supergirl, as well as Mehcad Brooks, Chyler Leigh, Jeremy Jordan, David Harewood and Calista Flockhart, with Katie McGrath, Chris Wood, Floriana Lima, Odette Annable, Jesse Rath, Sam Witwer, Nicole Maines, April Parker Jones, Azie Tesfai, Andrea Brooks, Julie Gonzalo, Staz Nair, LaMonica Garrett and Peta Sergeant joining in later seasons. In addition to original characters, several other characters from the DC Comics universe also appear throughout the series. For its first season, Supergirl aired on CBS, before moving to The CW for its second season.[1]

The series follows Kryptonian refugee and Superman's biological cousin Kara Zor-El (Benoist), who, after hiding her powers on Earth for more than a decade, becomes National City's superhero as Supergirl, battles against extraterrestrial and otherworldly threats, criminal masterminds, being targeted by her cousin's rogues gallery, and encountering an emerging community of metahumans within her adoptive world and individuals from parallel universes. Supergirl also deals with the Earth populace's fears and hostility against extraterrestrials and other beings with superpowers, leading her into conflicts with industrialist Maxwell Lord (Peter Facinelli), Lucy Lane's (Jenna Dewan) father General Sam Lane (Glenn Morshower) and Project Cadmus. She is assisted by a few close friends and family who guard her secrets—most notably her cousin's longtime friend James Olsen (Brooks), her adopted sister Alex Danvers (Leigh), and the Martian survivor J'onn J'onzz (Harewood).

The following is a list of characters who have appeared in the television series. Many are named after (or based on) DC Comics characters.

Main characters

Kara Zor-El / Kara Danvers / Supergirl

Melissa Benoist

Kara Zor-El / Kara Danvers / Supergirl (portrayed by Melissa Benoist as an adult, seasons 1-6; Malina Weissman and Izabela Vidovic as a teenager[2][3]) is a 24-year-old Kryptonian living in National City, who must embrace her powers after previously hiding them. When her pod crashed on Earth at a young age, she was found by her cousin Superman and was taken to live with his friend Jeremiah Danvers. She assists her adoptive sister, Alex Danvers, as part of the Department of Extranormal Operations (DEO). She discovers the truth that Jeremiah Danvers also worked for the DEO, so they would not take Kara. Alex's co-workers at the DEO help Kara to perfect her powers.[4][5] Kara has a day job, working as Cat Grant's assistant at CatCo.[6] Kara learns of the existence of metahumans and the multiverse when she befriends Barry Allen, aka the Flash, a superhero from a parallel Earth (Earth-1). Benoist expressed her excitement over portraying the character, and being able to "(tell) a story about a human being really realizing their potential and their strength".[7] Claire Holt and Gemma Atkinson were considered for the role.[8][9]

In season two, Kara deals with feuds between Earth's native populace and the extraterrestrial community, and struggles with romantic feelings for Daxamite prince Mon-El. She learns that Superman was formerly a member of the DEO, making her his successor within the organization. She becomes close with Lex Luthor's paternal half-sister Lena, and is targeted by Luthor's mother, Lilian, leader of Project Cadmus, an organization now dedicated to the exploitation and destruction of all aliens. Kara's adversaries include Mon-El's mother, Rhea, who wants to retrieve her son, the prince of Daxam, and invade Earth. Kara also becomes a visiting superhero to Earth-1 and a recurring ally of its heroes, including Barry's best friend, Oliver Queen, the vigilante archer Green Arrow.

In season three, Kara deals with the threat of Selena and the Worldkillers, including a new character, Samantha "Sam" Arias/Reign, another refugee from Krypton who is at first unaware of her origins and of her evil persona. Eventually Sam and Reign are physically separated, and Sam killed Reign at the cost of her own life and others’. Kara travels back in time to save Sam and prevent the sacrifice of Mon-El and of Kara's mother, Alura, who has survived Krypton. Kara takes the Harun-El (Black Kryptonite) with Sam and Reign into the Fountain of Lilith, taking down Reign. Unbeknownst to her, another Kara appears in the border of Siberia.

In season four, Kara deals with a new wave of anti-alien sentiment from the public, both as Supergirl and as a CatCo reporter. The hostility is secretly orchestrated by Lex Luthor. When it comes to the fight at Shelly Island, Supergirl fights against Lex Luthor using a special lead suit. Red Daughter sacrifices her life to give Supergirl the opportunity to defeat Lex Luthor.

In season five, Kara finds that CatCo is bought out by Andrea Rojas and she also contends with Leviathan. During the "Arrowverse", Supergirl, Superman, and Lois Lane work with their Earth-1 allies in their attempt to save the people of Earth-38 and becomes one of the Paragons at the cost of Oliver Queen. When Anti-Monitor destroys most of the Multiverse, Kara and the rest of the Paragons fight Anti-Monitor and the Shadow Demons. Oliver's second sacrifice as Spectre resulted in the creation of Earth-Prime where she finds that Lex Luthor was never a bad guy and LuthorCorp owns the DEO After finding that her Earth merged with Flash's Earth and Black Lightning's unnamed Earth, Supergirl and her allies fight the Anti-Monitor again. Afterwards, Supergirl contends with the plots of Lex Luthor and Leviathan.

In season six, Kara is sent to the Phantom Zone during the fight against Lex Luthor. She reunites with her father Zor-El and meets a 5th Dimension Imp named Nyxlygsptlnz as she works to get out. Kara and Zor-El were later rescued by the Super Friends using a sun bomb. By the end of season six following Lex Luthor and Nyxlygsptlnz getting dragged into the Phantom Zone, Kara finds out that Cat knows of her secret identity and is convinced to reveal it upon accepting the position of editor-in-chief at CatCo.

Overgirl

During the "Crisis on Earth-X" crossover, Benoist also portrays Overgirl, her character's fascistic parallel-universe counterpart from the Nazi-ruled world, Earth-X. Other performers superimposed in Benoist's likeness include her stunt double Jennifer Clarke. Overgirl is also referred to by Harry Wells and Cisco Ramon as Supergirl-X and Kara-X. The Earth-X Kara Zor-El is married to the Führer of Earth-X, Oliver Queen's doppelgänger, Dark Arrow. After Overgirl's heart is damaged, her husband tries and fails to seize Kara's heart to replace it. Overgirl dies, going supernova and exploding in space.

Red Daughter

In season four, Kara deals with a new wave of anti-alien sentiment from the public, both as Supergirl and as a CatCo reporter. The hostility is secretly orchestrated by Lex Luthor. Kara's Harun-El-replicated clone, Red Daughter (also portrayed by Benoist), is in the nation Kasnia, where she is being tested and trained by its military forces. It is revealed later that this is part of Luthor's latest scheme to defeat both Supergirl and Superman. Red Daughter has no memories or knowledge of her origins, and she sees Luthor as a mentor. She speaks Russian fluently. Kara's clone is eventually betrayed and presumably killed by Luthor after she has completed her part of his plan.

As Henshaw's protégée, Alex was personally trained by him in extensive combat, strategic tactics, and investigation after joining the DEO, eventually becoming his right-hand agent in the field. An exceptionally skilled combatant, marksman, tactician, and detective since, Alex tasks herself in providing rigorous training to Kara to decrease her reliance on her powers. Initially, like Kara, she becomes suspicious of the DEO and thus her own role upon learning of their father having worked there to protect Kara, but Alex ultimately learns that Henshaw is the Martian survivor J'onn J'onzz in shape-shifted disguise, whom her father (who she thought is dead) had rescued before his and the real Henshaw's deaths. After she is arrested and placed in custody for having known about J'onn, she and J'onn escape upon learning that her father is alive at Project Cadmus. She and J'onn are eventually pardoned by the President after they helped save the world from Non's attack with Kara and subsequently rejoin the DEO.

She keeps the suit for later missions, while using a different power source, Omegahedron.

She joins Earth-1 heroes and Kara to stop Earth-X invaders' scheme against the multiverse, and partnered with Sara when Kara was preoccupied with her villainous parallel universe doppelgänger Overgirl. Her scientific background is also invaluable in helping fellow scientists Harry Wells, Caitlin Snow, Martin Stein, Felicity Smoak, and Barry on Earth-1. Alex learns from Overgirl that she may have her own counterpart on Earth-X when she reveals to Alex that her adoptive sister tried to kill her once, hinting that Overgirl's sister may not aligned herself with the New Reich. Nearing the end of the season, in addition to her exoskeleton, Winn made a prototypical DEO protective suit for Alex, which is filled with advanced gadgetry for her needs in the field.

Alex later assists James in fighting Agent Liberty on Shelly Island where she managed to get the Harun-El serum out of James and Agent Liberty.

In season five, Alex assists in the investigation of Leviathan. Following the Crisis which led to the creation of Earth-Prime, Alex is now the director of the DEO. which is now owned by LuthorCorp. She was surprised at that when Martian Manhunter restored her memories. Owing to Brainiac 5 working to help Lex Luthor when it comes to Leviathan, Alex resigns from the DEO enabling Lex to swear in Brainiac 5 as the new Director of the DEO When her father died, Alex was reluctant to attend his funeral and used the Obsidian lens to do a Supergirl fantasy that started to affect her alongside the others that indulge in it. With help from Andrea Rojas, Kelly was able to get Alex out using a VR version of her younger self. Afterwards, Alex went to Midvale to attend her father's funeral. When it comes to fighting Rama Khan, Tezumak, and Sela, Alex started wearing a new suit provided to her by Martian Manhunter to help fight Leviathan.

In his plot, he planned to dispose of Andrea Rojas that involved robotic white tigers. While Supergirl and the DEO fought the robotic white tigers, Winn confronted Toyman. Toyman perished after activating the dead man switch to a bomb he made, but Supergirl was able to save everyone from the explosion. It turns out that he used the Obsidian Tech lenses to upload himself into the DEO's computer at the last minute to get on to the Internet.

J'onn later provided Alex with a special suit to help in the fight against Leviathan.

In season six, J'onn assists in the fight against Lex Luthor while joining M'gann to use a Martian ritual to destroy the satellites. While Malefic is unable to help locate the part of the Phantom Zone that Lex Luthor sent her to, J'onn informs Alex that M'gann is enlisting someone who can help and tells the story of Norr Cott who operated as the Sentinel. He then advises Alex to take on the Sentinel alias. Following the defeat of Lex and Nyxlygsptlnz, J'onn officiates Alex and Kelly's wedding. Toyman does drop a hint to him that he and M'gann will have a son.

The evolution of Henshaw was discussed during the filming of the pilot, with the executive producers jokingly saying that Harewood would be a good actor to play the Martian Manhunter in a potential television series, to which DC Comics' Geoff Johns asked why it could not be done in Supergirl. Harewood reflected that he had a difficult time "find[ing] an angle to play Hank Henshaw" in the pilot, and became excited when he was told about the change for his character's backstory.[18]

Lena Luthor

Katie McGrath

Lena Kieran Luthor[30] (portrayed by Katie McGrath; main: seasons 3–6; recurring: season 2, Lucy Loken as a teenager) is the CEO of L-Corp (formerly known as Luthor Corp) and the younger paternal half-sister of Lex Luthor. She arrives in National City after Lex has been incarcerated, hoping to rebrand Luthor Corp as a force for good.[31] As the daughter of Lionel Luthor, to whom she is close, Lena tries to redeem her family name after Lex's crimes have tarnished it and to break from her half-brother and step-mother's legacy. Initially, she believed that she was the adopted daughter of the Lionel and Lillian Luthor, but Lena learns that she is actually Lionel's illegitimate child from his extramarital affair. Lena meets Kara after Kara is assigned to interview Lena about L-Corp. Shortly after, the two develop a strong relationship. Later in the season she is taken advantage of by Rhea, under guise of fixing the portal to get her home, but instead brought all the Daxamites to Earth. She is almost married off to Mon-El before the wedding is interrupted and they escape where she then aids her mother and Winn in driving away the Daxamites. Camille Marty portrays a young Lena.[32] McGrath was promoted to series regular for season three.[33]

In season three, she buys CatCo Media to prevent Morgan Edge from taking it over and decides to run CatCo personally, temporarily handing over control of L-Corp to Sam Arias. Unlike her half-brother, Lena is able to develop a formula to create synthetic Kryptonites. Like Cat Grant, she knows Kara is Supergirl, but has been in complete denial. By the end of season 3, Lena synthesizes the Kryptonian mineral Harun-El in her laboratory since it is a form of Black Kryptonite, and starts the phase 2 of her experiment.

In season four, Lena helped to make a special suit for Supergirl when the air was saturated with Kryptonite. Lex later invites Lena and Lillian to the White House to watch the destruction of Argo. After an incident at Shelly Island causes Lex to leave, Lena and Lillian fight their way past Lex's henchmen. After Lex teleports to safety upon his armor being destroyed, he arrives in a room where Lena removes the Harun-El from him. Before succumbing to his wounds, Lex spitefully reveals to Lena that Kara is Supergirl; leaving her bitter and heartbroken.

In season five, this perceived betrayal has led Lena to go down a dark path; similar to Lex and Lillian respectively. She buys out CatCo's building so that her old friend Andrea Rojas can run CatCo and keep an eye on Kara while running some simulations with her A.I. Hope. In addition, she also blackbags Eve, Using a miniature device on Eve's head, Lena maps out Eve's brain. Andrea visits Lena voicing her knowledge about Lena's misuse of her products and states that she is cut off. If she ever does anything against her, Andrea will see to it that the next story will expose Lena's experiments. Afterwards, Lena moves on to Plan B where she reveals that she mapped out the loyalty parts of Eve's brain where she uploads Hope into it enabling Hope to control Eve's body. After being visited by Andrea, Lena provides the diversion for Supergirl so that Acrata can spring Rip Roar out of DEO custody. Once that was done, Andrea gave Lena the medallion. Then she has her computers research Eve's brain for any information about Leviathan. After Lex was revived, he said that he would help Monitor in exchange for a favor that involved Lena. When the Crisis began, Lena was persuaded by Alex to help work on a transporter to transport everyone from Earth-38 to Earth-1, resulting in Lena saving billions of lives. Following the Crisis which led to the formation of Earth-Prime, Lena still had her memories as part of Lex's deal with the Monitor and that she and Lex are now co-CEO's of LuthorCorp. In addition, Lena finds that Lillian is the head of the Luthor Foundation. Lena reluctantly had to cooperate with her two family members as Lex used a truth-enforcing organism on himself. Following the Non Nocere experiment failing on the inmates, Lena learned from Lex that her project would fail anyway and he had only assisted her to see her realise that she was wrong. Rejecting her brother's offer to join his own plans of conquest, and horrified to realise that she had become the same kind of villain as her brother, Lena returned to Kara to warn her about Lex's plans. Lena makes an Anti-Kryptonite suit that wasn't on Earth-Prime so that Supergirl can fight Rama Khan, Tezumak, and Sela who are empowered by Kryptonite while also rescuing William Dey from Eve. When Supergirl enters virtual reality to put an end to the Unity Festival plot, Lena had to protect her physical body when Acrata is dispatched. Lena was able to talk her down. Afterwards, Supergirl and Lena plan to go after Lex.

In season six, Lena helps to thwart the plans of Lex and Lillian. When Lex was incarcerated at the National City Prison and being visited by Lillian, Lena appears and uses the Myriad to erase their memories of Supergirl's identity and then gives Myriad back to Alex. Owing to Lex having Otis sabotage the new children's hospital wing and considering that killing him won't solve anything, Lena informs Lex that she is leaving LuthorCorp. She joins the Tower, using her scientific and technological expertise to help J'onn J'onzz, Alex, and the other Super Friends. She learns that her birth mother was a practitioner of magic, and that she possesses the same ability. As a scientist, she is reluctant to accept this, but she ultimately embraces magic to fight Nyxly, a fifth-dimensional imp; fifth-dimensional energy is the same thing as magic. A dying Lillian tells Lena that she knew about her birth mother's magic, and steered Lena towards science because of it; Lillian urges Lena to choose her own path, free from anyone's expectations. After Nyxly's defeat, Lena establishes the Lena Luthor Foundation.

Samantha Arias / Reign

Odette Annable

Samantha "Sam" Arias/Reign (portrayed by Odette Annable; main: season 3; guest: season 5) is an unknowing Kryptonian survivor sent to Earth by a party of Kryptonian priestesses as an infant prior to its destruction.[34][35] Sam was adopted by Patricia Arias. Although she grew up without knowledge of her origins, she is sensing that there is something unusual within herself and fears it. Samantha is also a single mother who struggles to raise her daughter Ruby, having distanced herself from her adoptive mother when she became pregnant with her daughter as a teenager. At one point, Sam demonstrated superhuman strength that let her lift a fallen tower off of her daughter Ruby during a terrorist attack; but she believes her strength in the moment was merely derived from adrenaline and the heightened emotion of distress, and she loses the extra strength immediately after. She works with Lena Luthor, and is promoted to be the acting CEO of L-Corp after Lena Luthor buys CatCo, and later becomes its CFO. She and her daughter also later befriend Alex and Kara Danvers. Throughout the season, Sam forms close friendships with Lena, Alex, and Kara. She finds out from her adoptive mother that she arrived on Earth in a space pod and thus she is an extraterrestrial in origin. Under the pod's key's guidance, Sam travels to a desert that leads to a hidden Kryptonian fortress, where a hologram in the form of one of the dark priestesses, Selena, informs Sam of her heritage and that she is engineered as a "Worldkiller," a living biological weapon of enhanced Kryptonian physiology who was sent to rule Earth; her pregnancy kept her from coming into her powers. Sam was not willing to accept this, but her full powers manifested, awakening her dormant alternative personality Reign. By the end of the season, it is revealed that Selena is Reign's birth mother, therefore is Sam's as well.

After returning home, Sam remains a devoted mother to Ruby with no memories of her actions as Reign, while her Kryptonian alter-ego becomes a black-clad, masked vigilante who indiscriminately kills those she sees as evildoers. However, Reign and two other Worldkillers are each designed to have dissociative identity to keep their existences hidden, yet Sam is stronger than Reign in willpower and control because of her devotion to Ruby, keeping Reign from fully takes over. During her first encounter with Kara's alter-ego Supergirl, Reign battles and defeats her, leaving the superheroine in a coma for days.

After Supergirl emerges from her coma, Reign is at odds with her, the DEO, and the Legion. Reign learned that are more Worldkillers on Earth and seeks to find them. She manages to get Purity on her side when she surrenders to Reign.

Following the deaths of Purity and Pestilence, Reign absorbed their abilities and got away. Reign later targets Ruby to eliminate Sam's will for control, causing Supergirl and Alex Danvers to work in protecting her. Thanks to some Kryptonite, Supergirl, Mon-El, and Kara were able to incapacitate her enough to render her unconscious as they work to find a way to get rid of the Reign side of her. Later, using a mineral from Krypton called the Harun-El, which is a form of Black Kryptonite, they are able to split Sam from Reign. Sam joins the fight against Reign and the dark priestesses after endowing powers that match Reign's. In one timeline, Sam kills Reign, but at the cost of her own life and her allies, but Supergirl travels back in time, and changes the outcome of Reign's defeat and averted the deaths. In the reset timeline, though still defeating Reign by herself, because of another exposure to the Harun-El during the fight, Sam is rid of the Kryptonian side from her, therefore having no powers once more and a chance to again living a normal life with her daughter.

In season four's premiere, it is mentioned that Sam and Ruby have relocated to Metropolis, where Sam is heading L-Corp's northeast sector.

In season five, Mxyzptlk showed Kara some possible realities that Reign is in. The first one showed that Reign killed Lena Luthor and Mon-El before being taken down by Supergirl. A reality in which Supergirl and Lena didn't meet showed that Reign became one of Lena's enforcers.

The evil Brainiac 5 plans to open the bottle with the help of the witches and release his world in Al's Bar, not caring that this would destroy Earth-Prime. Brainy Prime removes his three personality inhibitors, assuming his true Coluan colors and powers. He promises the anguished Brainiac 5 that he will search for a safe way to open it someday. The three Kryptonian witches agree and join the evil Brainiac in his bottled world. The two remaining Brainiac 5 doppelgangers choose to give up their corporal forms and exist inside the Big Brain, the "Coluan knowledge aggregate." Before she leaves, the female Brainy warns Brainy Prime that he must give up everything and everyone and appear to work with Lex Luthor to stop the threat of Leviathan. After breaking up with Nia, Brainiac 5 visits Lex Luthor about Leviathan. He does state of a possible doppelganger sighting as he is shown a picture of Winn Schott. He frees the alternate Winn and brings him to Lex. Outside of Winn, Alex finds out about Brainy working with Lex to uncover Leviathan and what his female counterpart said. When Alex resigns, Brainy becomes the new Director of the DEO. His work with Lex also strained his relationship with Dreamer. During the fight against Leviathan, Brainiac 5 enters their ship. Guided by the female Brainiac 5, he activates the code that disables Leviathan as he bottles up Rama Khan, Tezumak, and Sela.

After another attempt to gain revenge on Kara fizzles, she discovers that she has the power to sonic scream.[60] Upon learning that the women of her family are taken over by a banshee's spirit whenever they are wronged, Siobhan decides to get even with Cat and Kara by teaming up with Livewire; in the process, she embraces her curse for the powers it provides and becomes Silver Banshee. In addition to her hypersonic ability, the Silver Banshee's strength and endurance are on par with Supergirl's after her powers increased and is implied that she would have other abilities. Despite hating Kara, Siobhan chooses not to kill her, knowing that she would break her curse and lose her powers if she does until someone wronged her once more.

He is later freed from prison due to a disease. Lena decides to help Lex by working on a cure.

It is also revealed that Eve was working with Lex and Otis. Lex puts Lena to sleep leaving Eve to look after her. Lex escapes with Otis, but is stopped by Supergirl. Lex later develops metahuman abilities similar to Kryptonians' in strength and invulnerability after his Harun-El injection.

Lex's corpse is later retrieved by the Monitor.

In season five, Lex has been revived so he can help the Monitor avert an impending Crisis. Lex agrees, in exchange for the Monitor's help with a favor involving Lena. After helping to avert said Crisis and assisting in rebooting the multiverse, Lex regained control of LuthorCorp, became the head of the DEO (now a subsidiary of his company), as well as a hero in the eyes of most of the newly created Earth-Prime's people. The deal he made with the Monitor was that Lena would maintain her memories and be his Co-CEO. In addition, Lillian is now the head of the Luthor Foundation.

From day one of Earth-Prime, Lex had manipulated Eve Teschmacher into being his inside person in Leviathan where he had her orchestrate the events caused by Amy Sapphire and Richard Bates as well as tricking her into killing Jeremiah Danvers. While Supergirl was preventing a Sun-Eater released by a Morae on Leviathan's side from eating the Sun, Lex went to the scene of where those who were trapped in virtual reality were being held and freed them while killing Margot. Gamemnae confronted Lex about his actions and he states that she should focus her anger towards their mutual enemy Supergirl. Later that night, Lex revealed to Eve that the people he had protecting her mother will dispose of her should she go against him. He also has the footage of Eve killing Jeremiah which he advises her not be on the other side of Supergirl's eye beams. When Eve states that he is worse than Leviathan, Lex states that he is better than Leviathan. After a talk with his mother, Lex uses Lena's transportation watch to head to the Fortress of Solitude. Lex visited Lena at Stryker's Island where her Non Nocere project malfunctioned. After the incident was thwarted, Lex noted that her project would fail anyway causing Lena to see that Kara was right about him.

When he enters the ship, Lex is given a special pin by Gemma to keep him safe from the ship's defenses. The two of them begin their plot involving the Unity Festival. When Supergirl enters it, Lex advises Gemma to send one of Leviathan's assassins after Supergirl's physical body to appease whoever she answers to. After Brainiac 5 enters the code that leads to him bottling Rama Khan, Tezumak, and Sela, Gemma briefly shuts down causing Lex to go after Brainiac 5. He finds a weakened Brainiac 5 on Leviathan's ship and claims the bottle containing Rama Khan, Tezumak, and Sela. After getting away, he gives the bottle to Lillian to begin their next plot.

During the fight at the Fortress of Solitude, Lex Luthor was hit by a fragment from Jarhanpur yet managed to use the Phantom Zone Projector to send Supergirl into the Phantom Zone. While incarcerated at National City Prison, Lex was visited by Lillian who stated that she told him so. Lena then arrives and uses the Myriad to erase their memories of Supergirl's identity from their minds. After being found not guilty due to him discrediting most of the witnesses for the prosecution, Lex and Lena fight for control of LuthorCorp. Owing to Lex having Otis sabotage the new children's wing at the hospital and noting that killing him won't change anything, Lena told Lex that she is leaving LuthorCorp. Lex Luthor later visited the future where he befriended and fell in love with a future Nyxlygsptlnz. She preserved the future Nyxly in A.I. form and placed it in a Lexosuit that he sent to the present Nyxly. After the Nyxly A.I. helped Nyxly obtain the Dream Totem, Lex appeared to her and assisted in obtaining the remaining Totems. Though this became strained due to Lillian.

Phillip Baker

Phillip "Phil" Baker (portrayed by Bruce Boxleitner)[85] started out as the Vice President of the United States under president Olivia Marsdin. After Marsdin resigns upon the Children of Liberty exposing her as a Durlan, Baker is sworn in as the new president of the United States. He later appointed Lauren Haley to oversee the DEO. Unlike Olivia, Baker is a selfish man who cares more about his approval ratings than the welfare of his country and morality, although he nonetheless opposes the Children of Liberty.

Following the arrests of Agent Liberty and Manchester Black, Baker appeared at DEO headquarters after seeing the news. He ordered Supergirl to reveal her secret identity to regain the trust of a divided and improve his standing, but she refused since it would endanger her loved ones. Baker has Supergirl dismissed from the DEO's services, hoping she will come around. Baker later makes an example of Menagerie and has her incarcerated. He also pardons Ben Lockwood of his crimes on a technicality to improve his poll ratings, putting him at odds with the DEO.

Baker creates a missile launch contingency towards any spaceship that approaches Earth behind the DEO's back despite Supergirl's objections. Following her fight with the Elite, she confronts Baker about the satellite that nearly crashed, which Supergirl was forced to destroy to save everyone. In retaliation, Baker invites Lockwood to the White House and makes him the Director of Alien Affairs. In light of the alien peace march, Baker and Lockwood are left to hold inquiries about the Alien Amnesty Act's fate. When Baker repeals the bill, Red Daughter disguised as Supergirl attacks the White House. Baker promptly declares Supergirl public enemy #1, making it clear he no longer considers aliens citizens. Baker eventually deputizes the Children of Liberty, giving Lockwood free rein to round up every alien in the country.

At some point, Baker installed Kryptonite in his office to protect against further attacks from Red Daughter and Supergirl. Kara Danvers later meets with Baker to present evidence that Lex Luthor is conspiring with Kaznia to attack the US. After confirming that no one else knows of her discovery, Baker takes the evidence and has Kara black-bagged. He is then revealed to have been working with Lex Luthor the whole time in exchange for the presidency. After Lex "kills" Red Daughter on TV, Baker claims that Lex has killed Supergirl, who was the mastermind of the Kaznian attack.

After Kara writes an exposé unveiling Lex's crimes following the battle at Shelly Island, Baker is impeached by Congress, removed from office, and arrested for his colluding with Lex. Vice-president Plastino is sworn in as the acting president until re-elections can be held again, with his first act being the reinstatement of the Alien Amnesty Act.

After finding out that one of his friends is an alien and witnessing firsthand the Children of Liberty harming innocent alien families, George starts to reconsider helping his father. After Lydia's murder, George realizes his father's hatred of aliens has consumed him and lead to his mother's death, causing their relationship to be strained. Following the arrest of Agent Liberty, George sets out to undo his father's work and appears on TV, asking for humans and aliens to cooperate with each other and fight against people like the Children of Liberty who tried to keep them apart.

Manchester Black

Manchester Black (portrayed by David Ajala)[37] is a man who fell in love with an Empath from Ikthanol named Fiona Byrne. After she was captured by the Children of Liberty, Manchester worked with Martian Manhunter to find her. When they find a badly-wounded Fiona in Mercy and Otis's van, Manchester had his final moments with a dying Fiona as Martian Manhunter tries to heal her. Following Fiona's death, Manchester went to buy guns to get revenge on those responsible for Fiona's death. After a shootout with some Children of Liberty members, Manchester tortures and later kills a surviving member on the identity of his superior. Manchester proceeded to target Caldwell where he massacred him and the Children of Liberty members with him after getting the information about Ben Lockwood. After holding Lydia Lockwood hostage, Manchester faced off against Ben Lockwood until they were stopped by Supergirl and Nia Nal. Afterward, Manchester and Ben were arrested by the police.

He starts by freeing Midnight from the Phantom Zone. With help from Obsidian Tech, J'onn figures out that Malefic betrayed the Green Martians to the White Martians and used a death curse on some of them which led to Malefic being banished to the Phantom Zone. J'onn then wiped Malefic's existence from the collective memory of the Green Martians to spare M'yrnn the pain of his failure with Malefic,. Lena later does an experiment on Malefic enabling him to assume a human form more close to his father and brother. Taking the advice of M'yrnn, J'onn confronts Malefic. After a brief mind-meld, the brothers reconcile. Malefic helps the DEO prevent Lena from using Myriad at the time when Supergirl and J'onn were fighting Rama Khan. Once that was done, J'onn provides Malefic with one of his cars so that Malefic can return to Mars and work with Miss Martian to end the war between the Green Martians and the White Martians.
