Article arrow_drop_down

Superman_Annual_Vol_1_14The role being played by Containment and Vampire Diaries actor and new Supergirl series regular Chris Wood was not confirmed today at Comic-Con, but we did get a major clue: He is whatever came down in the pod at the end of Season 1.

It has been heavily rumored but not officially confirmed that Wood will be playing Mon-El, once thought of as “Superboy’s brother” who first appeared in Superboy issue #89 back in 1961.

Mon-El actually isn’t Kryptonian; he has powers a lot like a Kryptonian, but he is actually from the planet Daxam. He also has a different weakness: Lead.

Hopefully we will learn more, including an offical confirmation of his character’s identity, soon. Season 2 of Supergirl premieres October 10 on The CW.
