CBS Melissa Benoist Peter Facinelli Reactron Supergirl villain

Last week Kara caused a catastrophic oil spill before realizing that it would take more than just brute strength to be a heroine. With the help of her friends Winn and James, Kara started learning to use and, more importantly, control her superpowers. Then Alex found herself in a bit of trouble during an ambush and Kara once again came to her rescue. We were introduced to the creepy-crawly alien Hellgrammite and saw an uncomfortable family reunion between Kara and her aunt Astra. Astra retreated from the battle with her niece to a secret lair and we saw that she has a scientist on her team who could cause future trouble. Supergirl finally agreed to an interview with Cat Grant and we were left wondering if Cat would recognize our girl wonder.

The third episode of Supergirl is sure to be incredible. Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) will be up against Reactron (Chris Browning) who arrives in National City and decides to cause trouble. If you’re a fan of Superman then you might remember Reactron being a particularly trying villain. Technology entrepreneur and billionaire playboy Maxwell Lord (Peter Facinelli) is back in action and will play a central role in the struggle between Kara and Reactron. And in an odd twist, Lucy Lane (Jenna Dewan Tatum), sister to Lois Lane, arrives in National City. What does Reactron want? How will Maxwell Lord play into the story line? Will Cat Grant come around to love Supergirl? All this and more will be answered in the next episode tonight, Monday, November 9th at 8pm (ET/PT)!
