"Powers" star Justice Leak will play a villainous alien called Hellgrammite in the upcoming premiere season of CBS' "Supergirl,"Entertainment Weekly reports.

Though he will be an alien in the show, Hellgrammite was entomologist Roderick Rose in the comics. After some experimentation, he developed super-strength, improved jumping and the ability to produce cocoons to imprison foes or even transform them into larvae versions of himself. The experimentation also gave him an insect-like appearance and his supervillain moniker comes from an insect of the same name.

It's a damn shame that this is separate from the CW verse (Flash and Arrow). I understand why they did it though. It'd be hard for different studios to coordinate especially in terms of the story. Anything major happening on one show would affect another and ignoring it would make things weird.

Maybe, but at the same time, they don't put these characters in different cities for no reason, lots of stuff could be going down in one city and you just have to mention it in passing on the other show, a small nod to it going on, and you're covered.  Not much work really.

She looks fine all over. I can't wait to see her on my screen every week :)

Exactly. She fits the part very well. Now if she were playing Power Girl, then there would be cause for complaint. She's pretty much the definition of "Boobs of Steel".

Iddo Goldberg Cast as Red Tornado

Iddo Goldberg (Salem, Peaky Blinders) has been cast for the role of “Dr. T.O. Morrow (aka Red Tornado)” on CBS's Supergirl, ComicBook.com has learned exclusively.

According to Warner Bros. Television, Red Tornado is the most advanced android the world has ever seen. Designed by scientist T.O. Morrow for the U.S. Army as the ultimate superweapon, he soon becomes sentient, posing a grave danger to National City -- including the people Supergirl cares about most.

In what way Goldberg will play both Morrow and the Red Tornado isn't clear. While the character has often been imbued with the personality of a human in the comics, Morrow isn't Red Tornado, just the android's inventor. He's also evil, while Red Tornado is a hero and longtime Justice League member. (Red Tornado also served as a mentor to Young Justice when that team first assembled under the pen of longtime Supergirl writer Peter David.)

So does that mean there's a potential for Lois or Lucy to show up? Maybe Lois is investigating the new girl hero who is so similar to the Metropolis Marvel?

Hopefully the pilot doesn't do the rest of the series justice. God that was a boring thing to sit through. 

Pilots often are the worst episode of a series. They have to set things up, so the story often suffers in the first episode or two.

Why did they leave her eyes as Green?

 

Because her heat vision would melt colored contact lenses. :rofl:

But seriously, she nails the role and is a good match for the part.

In comparison: The X-Men franchise stars an actor almost a foot too tall to play the 5'1" tall Wolverine. Flash features an Iris West who is black (not her traditional skin color) but who nonetheless works perfectly in the role. And a Jay Garrick who is about 50 years too young. Dawn of Justice is going to have a Wonder Woman who barely looks the part. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a Nick Fury who is non-traditional, although there is a precedent for the portrayal in the Ultimate Marvel Universe.

I think Kara's eye color is a minor quibble compared to all that.

    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.

    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
